Think I'd like to do this for a livin'
Only visit Texas round thanksgiving
Stop to see my kuya by the border
I can not wait to hear your pa play recorder
Maybe, if by then my ma's a widow
She'll be there too and say amen
Maybe, even, if your nieces like her
It'll take some pressure off of us for a while
All the ways you help me breathe through this
I'll build you a house in brother's backyard
Holding hands and breath as he says grace
Saltillo tiles and these empty plates
Maybe, just like my old man, this place
Is better to miss than to live with
All the ways you help me breathe through this
Build you a house in brother's backyard
I'll wait to finish this song 'til I ask
If you'd maybe like to share the hourglass
To hold my hand and breath into the aisle
To hold my hand and breath for quite a while
Kiss you where your smile lights your eyes
Kiss you like a hammock kiss the sky
All the ways you help me breathe through this
Build you a house in brother's backyard
