Why Buildings Fall Down Lyrics by Stapleton

0

This new year is not, new anyway
These graphs still decay
One wants corners
The other, curves anyway
One wants aesthetics
The other something that works

They're knocking down
All the buildings
That remind me of you
And the new ones
Just scrape giant holes in the blue
And they block out
The sun
They pay for the ground
So why not the sky?

It's funny how
A building can look so tired
It's funny how
A building can look so tired

They're knocking down
All the buildings
That remind me of you
And the new ones
Just scrape giant holes in the blue
And they block out
The sun
They pay for the ground
And a thousand blocked views

Cannot bear to stand at all
Cannot bear to stand at all
Maybe that is why
That's why
Yeah, maybe that's why
Buildings fall down
