Letter from a Motel

[Verse 1]

The beams we used to build our house are breaking at last

The building will not hold together very much longer

My arms are young and they can do the work if called upon to do so

But the house itself has weakened and it's tilting on its axis

In the picture that you sent I could see the windows getting soft

Yeah I could see the heat had gotten straight out of hand

[Bridge]

And I knew that none of this was what you'd been meaning to send along

I did not mean to say what I'm saying now

If we're gonna talk about what intentions were

[Verse 2]

But the house itself is weak

Very weak

Though you and our three daughters believe in what you want to believe

From where I stand stability is everything

In the room I'm standing in stability is everything

[Outro]

And in this world, in this world, stability is everything
