Julia Cunningham - Cardboard House

There's always a turning point where things are make or break
Either we're stepping up or we should just walk away
And I know I'm only passing through, but
Sometimes I wonder if I'd stay

I know I found you somewhere in the in-between
Right when you were waking up from someone else's dream
And I know it's an illusion, but
I don't think I'm ready to leave

Build a couple makeshift walls
Throw a blanket and some pillows on the floor
Well we built a cardboard house, but
Time it came a-knockin' at the door

I know on paper, well my hands they were kept clean
You gave me your word but it's not really what you mean
Well I knew that I'd done wrong, I could hear it in the words she didn't speak

Maybe one day we'll learn to love the way they do
With lines drawn in the sand and a commitment to the truth
Oh but even at an arm's length I think I'm getting caught up in you

And she tells me that it's fine
But I've given that same line out before
And our little cardboard house
Well it never stood a chance against the storm

There's always a turning point where things are make or break
Either we're stepping up or we should just walk away
Well I'm in no place to linger, I could really use some time spent alone
But I'll be in town later, I wonder if you'd pick up the phone
