Blankets

We can build a fort Pretend the monsters don't exist Build a house of cardboard Tape the pieces that don't quite fit This world is big and scary I'm sorry you had to see it But you can sit with me beneath these blankets I'll listen to ya, I won't try to fix it You can sit with me beneath these blankets I know your battle isn't through I'll stay here with you I'll stay here with you Don't say they didn't mean to Maybe they just didn't know That they were wielding words of knives But still at you they chose to throw Shotgun sounds of arguments Might have been muffled by the walls But nonetheless were deafening To you just sitting in the hall This world is big and scary I'm sorry you had to see it But you can sit with me beneath these blankets I'll listen to ya, I won't try to fix it You can sit with me beneath these blankets I know your battle isn't through I'll stay here with you I'll stay here with you I've been here for so long I forgot how old I was But I remembered how to color And I remembered what I saw So I build my life with blankets And fight the dragons out And I know that you Yeah I know you got them too Yeah I know you got them too But you can sit with me beneath these blankets I'll listen to ya, I won't try to fix it You can sit with me beneath these blankets I know your battle isn't through I'll stay here with you I'll stay here with you
