The bricks begin to crumble so we'll have to patch them up   My darling can you help me? I need mortar and your love   You wished for affection, I wished that wasn't always a pain   Let's build this wall together, I think our wishes are the same   Put your fingers in the cracks, and pull out all the past   I will hold the bricks together while you put new mortar back   This wall has stood strong, my life will fall until I die   We can never be brand new again, but let's give it a try   And wait, look at the clock, oh do you see the time?   It's 11:11 and that's how I made you mine   And I'm sorry if you think of me as a wizard dark and vile   But I swear I'll never do you wrong and I'll try to make you smile   So make a wish and word it well, those genies love their tricks   If my heart falls out, just push it back in with a stick   I know misery won't kill us, that doesn't mean we shouldn't fight   We all die in the end, but that's the point of life   So live as much as we can live before these bricks crumble to dust   I will give you everything I have, my heart, my love, my trust   I will pay you not to go to work so you can sleep in late   Make you breakfast in the morning then I'll send you on your way   You're an anvil I'm an ape and I doubt I'll ever change   But I've got enough optimism to carry us away   And we will travel by a boat, the way that it should be   The captain and the siren, together out at sea   And when my ship crashes on the rocks, I will not be surprised   'Cause I knew what I was in for when I looked into your eyes
