#VERSE
I’m building a clock
I’m building a bridge
I’m building a house of milk and honey
I just found the snacks
You left in the fridge
I’ve got some new jokes you’ll think are funny
#PRE-CHORUS
Turns out the clock has broken down
The bridge no longer leads to town
I’m happy just to hang around you
#VERSE
I bought you a horse
I gave you a car
You gave me a love I could believe in
You said in your dream
I became a star
You were afraid that I’d soon be leavin’
#PRE-CHORUS
Turns out the car is out of gas
The horse just stands there eating grass
I’m happy just to trespass with you
#CHORUS
Life is a big masquerade
Laugh even when there’s no reason
Love is the one thing we made
That can stand through the test of time
That’s why I love you
#VERSE
I ran from my past
I ran up a hill
Our friends ran their mouths and called us slackers
We went on a trip
We ran up the bill
With Dom Pérignon, brie cheese, and crackers
#PRE-CHORUS
Turns out that brie is made of mold
And champagne’s best when it is old
I’m happy just to get to hold you
#CHORUS
Life is a big masquerade
Laugh even when there’s no reason
Love is the one thing we made
That stands strong every time
#BRIDGE
The clock is ticking every day
We watch the years slipping away
We need to make more time to play
Let’s go ride the horse into town
#INSTRUMENTAL
#PRE-CHORUS
The clocks distract us in the night
I placed my bets and rolled the dice
I’d spend a hundred lifetimes with you
#CHORUS
Life is a big masquerade
Laugh even when there’s no reason
Love is the one thing we made
That stands strong every time
#CHORUS
Life is a big masquerade
Laugh even when there’s no reason
Love is the one thing we made
That can stand through the test of time
That’s why I love you
#VERSE
I burned every bridge
I smashed every clock
I threw down the dice and left my money
We live from the heart
We fly from the flock
Off to our own world where life is sunny
#VERSE
I took off my mask
I stopped the charade
I stooped down to pick you pretty flowers
We shared a good laugh
Made love in the shade
The test of time lasts a million hours
#VERSE
I burned every bridge
I smashed every clock
I threw down the dice and left my money
We live from the heart
We fly from the flock
Off to our own world where life is sunny
