Fix'er Upper

Let's get an apartment
With orange shag carpet and
Tear it up from the floor
And we'll laugh about the losers
Who dared to live there before

Or let's get a place
With a rotted ceiling
So it's only a matter of time
Before the ceiling caves in and
We've got better views of the sky

Oh, let's plant a garden
Where the ground is real hard and
We'll watch the impossible grow
And the fruit will be sweeter
Because we believed it'd be so

And let's draw up plans
For our own kind of mansion
With tunnels and secret rooms
And abandon our schemes
For a loft that's a dream built for two

Oh, my walls might creak and cry
Oh, my floors might shift and moan
But if you're looking for a place to spend the night
Come on in, and make yourself at home

And if you want a fix'er upper
You're gonna have to love her
Or the whole thing will just fall apart
And I know it's cliché
But it works quite the same with a heart

And if you want happy endings
You've got to stop singing
Before the song is quite done
So I leave out the bit
Where you leave and I learn to move on

Oh, my walls might creak and cry
Oh, my floors might shift and moan
But if you're looking for a place to spend the night
Come on in, and make yourself at home
Come on in, and make yourself at home
