Love And Great Buildings Lyrics - Andrew Mcmahon In The Wilderness

My heart is an apartment building on the verge 

A testament to days more optimistic 

But market shifts can cause storm systems to converge 

"Til all your high rise dreams seem unrealistic 

I wanna keep the lights on 

I could raise the rents and resurface the pool 

I could take the banks on repay all my debts get my ass back to school 

Love and great buildings will survive 

Strong hearts and concrete stay alive 

Through the great depressions 

Yeah, the best things are designed to stand the test of time

Songs That Will Make You Cry Uncontrollably 

Every Lyric From Keith Urban's New Album 'Graffiti U' 

Watch Janelle Monáe's Sci-Fi film 'Dirty Computer' 

Brick and plaster, beams and broken windows 

Shadows pass on sidewalks cracking to the curb. 

I wanna keep the lights on 

Repair the foundation maybe hire a crew 

Plant a little garden, start the renovation, get my ass back to you 

Love and great buildings will survive 

Strong hearts and concrete stay alive 

Through the great depressions 

Yeah, the best things are designed to stand the test of time 

Hey hey hey.... Oh 

Hey hey hey.... Oh oh 

Hey hey hey.... Oh 

Hey hey hey.... Oh 

Hey Hey Hey

Love and great buildings will survive 

(Buildings will survive) 

Strong hearts and concrete stay alive 

(Concrete stay alive) 

Through the great depressions 

Yeah, the best things are designed to stand the test of time 

Love and great buildings will endure 

Blue skies and bloodlines are the cure for the great deceptions 

In a world that's such a blur we'll stand the test of time
