The Punch List

[Verse 1]
Hey, it's— uh, you don't know me. I framed your place on Coventry Hills.
Saw the Re/Max sign go up last Tuesday, the metal sweating in the thaw.
I left a two-four of Kokanee in the crawl space, behind the furnace duct.
Guess it's someone else's problem now, just my dumb luck.

[Chorus]
And I know it's not my wiring, not my joists to bear the load.
But I saw the hairline fractures starting 'fore the paint was on the road.
It's stupid, this is just a job, I clock in and I clock out.
Just hoping you fixed all the little things I couldn't tell you about.

[Verse 2]
Remember arguing 'bout the kitchen island? The February freeze?
Heard you through the vapour barrier, your voice tight in the breeze.
"We'll have a family here," you said, your hand flat on the stud.
I added extra blocking there, for a painting, just because.

[Chorus]
And I know it's not my wiring, not my joists to bear the load.
But I saw the hairline fractures starting 'fore the paint was on the road.
It's stupid, this is just a job, I clock in and I clock out.
Just hoping you fixed all the little things I couldn't tell you about.

[Bridge]
Sorry, I'm rambling. This is weird. My dad would say, "Anak, focus."
I just, I build these things to last, you know? It's the whole entire point.
And when they don't… sayang.

[Chorus]
I know it's not my wiring, not my joists to bear the load.
But I saw the hairline fractures starting 'fore the paint was on the road.
It's stupid, this is just a job, I clock in and I clock out.
Just hoping you fixed all the little things I couldn't tell you about.

[Outro]
Yeah, uh, disregard this message.
Hope you get your asking price.
