I built a house with an arsonist
Who I shouldn't have given the key
When it all burnt down,
I knew it was partly on me
Oh, I built a house with an arsonist
And I let him pick out the rugs
They went up so fast, somehow I was aghast
When I met him, he seemed nice enough
Oh, I’m gonna live at the bottom of the ocean
I’m gonna walk to the depths of the sea
Sick of surprises, the water, it rises
Do I have it coming to me?
Oh, I’m gonna live at the bottom of the ocean
I’m gonna walk to the depths of the sea
Sick of surprises, the water, it rises
Do I have it coming to me?
And I planted a garden with a family of deer
And I should’ve put up a fence
Couldn’t resist the temptation of freshly bloomed tulips
I should've known; it's common sense
And I planted a garden with a family of deer
And I thought they might be what they’re not
But things, they don’t change just for my wishful thinking
I try to remember - I guess I forgot
Oh, I’m gonna live at the bottom of the ocean (at the bottom of the ocean)
I’m gonna walk to the depths of the sea (to the depths of the sea)
Sick of surprises, the water, it rises
Do I have it coming to me?
Coming to me - oh, I’m gonna live at the bottom of the ocean
I’m gonna walk to the depths of the sea
Sick of surprises, the water, it rises
Do I have it coming to me?
Coming to me, to me
Coming to me
Do I have it coming to me?
And the man, he burns houses for a living
And the deer, the deer will be forgiven
But so will the guy who just burned my house down
Even though he had said he’d stick around
And the man, he burns houses for a living
And the deer, the deer will be forgiven
But so will the guy who set fire to my life
And I watched it all come down
But I’ll do it again
I know I’ll do it again
They say fools never learn, but quitters never win
If at first you don’t succeed, don’t look back: go all in
I’ll do it again
