Built on Ruins (No Excuses) By the Paperboats

"Why have you come here with this weight on your mind?

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose at a price

A slave to the daytime

Till the church chimes twelve o'clock, you're waking up

I sometimes get so lost in me, I just don’t see

Your kiss can change a morning

Same kiss that changed a man

We’ve been the best of enemies till become the worst of friends

I sold in mint conditions

But you knew that when you paid

Now you’re following traditions

And exhuming our remains

No excuse, I can’t help defending her

We build on ruins

To be in love with love and not with us

So put yourself in my shoes and walk in them a while 

See how far they get you before they break your smile

I’m warm in the interior of the heavens you’ve designed

But now my feet are cold and curious to walk beyond the line

No excuse, you can’t help forgiving me

We build on ruins

To be in love with love and not with us

I’m living past the years that my heroes never reached

I’m running out of heroes, I learn better than I teach

When you’ve as many words as I, you find nothing says it best

Say nothing in reply, say nothing on request

No excuse

No excuses

No excuse

To be in love with love

To be in love

To be in love with love...."
