hello! if i built my home from paper is out in the world, I hope you like it and this lil video - I had a lot of fun making the song into a story book :)

I wrote this song for my mum but I think it's applicable to any sort of relationship where someone can make the world feel safer and help to untangle some of the chaos with you. It's a very special thing to have.

I hope everyones well :)
bye !

Written by Alex Carroll (Sentric Music) and Jack Hardman (Raygun Publishing Ltd). Produced by Jack Hardman. Mixed by Adrian Breakspear. Mastered by Robin Schmidt. Strings by Maria Grigoryeva.

If I built my home from paper
You’d say I’d done my best
And when the wolf comes round to blow it down
You’d build it back again
If I lost myself in longing
In the forest of my head
Oh your hands are at the ready
To take me home again

When I feel too big for my own bones
To small for life's affairs
It's a trouble living in this world
But it’s home when you are there
Oh it’s home when you are there

It's a terrifying feeling
It's the fear of letting go
Free falling in slow motion
Into the arms of the unknown
If you catch me running backwards
Getting tangled in the change
Will you promise, tell me honest
If I’m lost along the way

Cause I may be getting older
But maybe I’m still scared
It's a trouble living in this world
But it’s home when you are there
Oh it’s home when you are there

If I built my home from paper
You’d say I’d done my best
And when the wolf comes round to blow it down
You’d build it back again

When I feel too big for my own bones
To small for life's affairs
It's a trouble living in this world
But it’s home when you are there
Oh it’s home when you are there
