Lyrics
On the curb again
On the curb again
I've come to learn at least it's firm
Out on the curb again
Hook
I'm in my room making cardboard castles
with shoestring rope
Soup spoon drawbridge
tinfoil moat
I'm still dreaming after all these years
(x2)
Verse 1
because if we don't build it who will?
I do things on a shoestring that you couldn't do for a cool mil
I run with no laces
And when I fall I start
to build my Taj Mahal with shit I found at dollarmart
this life's our greatest project
the journey's all an art
But I built my perfect nest
And it's bout to fall apart
Again and again and then I just I make it twice as high
And I give my tower teeth
And I watch it bite the sky
Because I might just cry if I don't keep it moving
I focus on what I can make and not what just got ruined
Cause every stone will crumble down to dust to to dust (it must)
And I say love thy neighbor
And I say fuck thy hater
There' s nothing I can't solve with duct tape and construction paper
I don't want a band aid, I'll only rip it off
Chorus
Verse 2
I know someday I'll pass
And maybe then rest
Im laying on my back
Heaven's my bench press
Cause my imagination is crazy as Glenn Beck
A cloud is floating by in the shape of a rent check
And when the world ends, that's what I'll plan towards
Then I'll trust girlfriends and maybe landlords
Cause I been played but I'm looking for more
I say, what would I gain if took it to court
Cause if, If people were perfect then there wouldn't be war
we stay pushing but once we get a foot in the door
we get our toes chopped off
and a foot of manure
I still gotta believe people are good at the core
cause if we weren't, what's at stake
why would we stay to break what we make
And create all these beautiful mistakes
when they blow our house down let's draw on the walls

I used to listen to this on loop years back. Had forgotten about it. Came across it today and it made me well up inside.
Watsky so nostalgic always,2014 biggest year!
Same though
This takes me back to 2014. Back then i didn't realize how good life was at that moment.
Are you still dreaming after all these years?
I'm so glad you had that feeling.
I'm a new Watsky fan, housemate suggested a song and I fell in love and played him over and over.
"Love thy neighbour fuck thy hater"
Words to live by right there
Yea :) Lol oP
HeliosMovieNight
love fucking them
so true
And if your neighbor is your hater, move.
"Because I might just cry if I don't keep it movin', and focus on what I can make and not what just got ruined." So. Fucking. Inspirational.
❤
Does anyone else get a sense of nostalgia when listening to this? Like you've heard it long ago?
An Advocate For Manga same
especially when he was sitting on the curb at the park with the street sign in the back that says longwood
An Advocate For Manga I think what you are feeling is what we in Portugal call "Saudade"
As a "loser", i cry to this song allways, i feel like it's my own voice sing in it to myself. I'm allways trying, and i hope someday i'll get better at something.
"Because I might just cry if I don't keep it moving
I focus on what I can make and not what just got ruined"
Like something i repeat to myself for not to brake apart.
Dude its gonna be ok life gives all of us punchs in the gut trust me ik where you are or were when you wrote this we have to keep moving
Haven’t heard this since I was probably 13. Being 22 now I really understand the lyrics and how simple life used to be back back then. I’ve come to learn it’s hard and firm out on the curb again
We didn't deserve this man his music is so unique you could tell it was his vision coming to life.
My favorite line of his from any song is "we've got billionaire dumbf*cks, and geniuses driving garbage trucks" guy was ahead of his time.
i dropped out of college a couple months ago and now im listening to this song and trying not to cry as i fill a digital art portfolio for a job job offer i just got doing what i wanted to go to school for in the first place. thank you so much.
Just keep looking forward and don't let anything get you down. If you reach a low point you can remember that after that things will get better. Takes a lot to say anything about your personal life, but good luck to you and stay strong.
DDD
keep going dude !
Good luck with that.
Dont be hard on yourself, im 31 and im currently putting together yet another portfolio of digital art...its never too late to work in the art industry, as long as your an expert of your craft they'll accept you...hang in there
same here dude. good luck!
I remember being 15, this was the first CD I ever owned, my gma gave it to me for Christmas. We had to go to multiple stores to find it. Then finally one store said they’d help us get it, I didn’t know shit about getting music back then, I’m 23 now. The stores didn’t have the album, we had to order it. Once I got it I was in love. I remember crying and laughing with this CD, it was my favorite. And to this day, it’s still my favorite album I have EVER owned. Listening to this makes me wish times were as simple as they were then. But, it is was it is.
at half a century approaching me and nearly behind me,
I'm still that kid building Cardboard castles too, and I owe alot of my life, good and bad to him.
thank you for the song.
You are almost 50 years old
+The Boss nice one
reading comprehension and math are good things...
Nelson Aperson
Best comment. It's amazing that even someone who's lived and gained the experience and wisdom of life can still be in awe of another's message. That's when you know something has value.
I'm 15 and grew up on your music, and rediscovering you in the middle of last year has made life bearabale again. ❤
Same here
Cardboard Castles is Watksy's best album so far. although I'm liking what I'm hearing in x infinity
SilentAssassinX cardboard castles is great, but I have to say WATSKY is my fave album
All You Can Do was great!
SilentAssassinX can we all agree that all his albums are great? Haha
you said xactly what im thinkin
COMPLAINT is pretty good though
As a full-grown adult, I still feel this way!
watsky that last shot of the kids pulling out with the depth of field and the cardboard crowns would have been the most perfect album art ever. not that yours is bad, just a very beautiful shot kudos to the cinematographer
someone who actually gives a fuck in this day and age in the music industry. really reignites your faith in humanity :D
My only child, Travis Robert FE 32, passed 6 months today 💔😭 He loved Watsky 💞 This album especially this song is special to me because Travis will never be on the curb again 💙🪽💜🪶 He struggled his whole life, but never gave up his dreams 🙌 I love you my Travis 💞😘😘
1:15 bruh don't leave the drill press on man
I always thought it was called a pillar drill, maybe different countries call it different names.
Oliver Perkins Could be. Countries can never agree on anything linguistic at all. You in the UK? Pillar Drill sounds british to me
+Ben Majora it is :)
was gonna say from the cut you can see the drill slowing down he played it safe and shut the head off before releasing the counter
This song has quite literally saved my life a few times.
So my son has been having trouble in school with being bullied, he is only in the first grade... every time I play this song he comes to watch the video and it truly makes him happy so thank you
I had to come back to this 3 years later 😭😭
Is it cuz your on the curb again?
jms onesevenO at least you tried.
+Do Subie with the Suburban Derek lol
+Do Subie with the Suburban Derek sorry I had to
This song has helped me through far to many funerals, yet I can still listen to it to get inspired, this is the magic of music
I remember my old friend showing me this when we were camping. Every once and a while I listen to it as we both don’t really talk anymore 😞
This song speaks volumes to me. Life isn't easy... some of us have it better than others... some of us come from humble beginnings, some from extravagance... don't give up - don't ever give up. Stay true to yourself and try to do right by others.
The video and the song both were very, very obviously made with a lot of sincere heart
ooooooooooooh shitstir sit on a sticky sticker shite
I heard the song before seeing the video, but wow.. the video actually made me smile and tear-up a little bit. Great direction. Great song.
I agree
Earthbound Rebirth kid's got a point. That's how you keep livin.
+Corbin Is Alive
The very first time I heard this song, it felt familiar. Same with Sloppy Seconds. Like, the feeling you get when you smell something you haven't in years. Like a deja vu. I feel like I listened to it years ago. Its kind of creepy how the vivid the feeling is. But indeed, a beautiful song.
Not gonna lie. This made me a bit teary.
Me too I love this song!
This song feels like it's what I'm missing, but I'm also already full.
for real tho
Me too. I got goosebumps.
Haven't heard this in years im back and listening in 2019 anybody else?
2020 bitch. #getrekt
I'm still dreaming after all these years
Played a bunch of watsky jams for my kids. My 14 year old teenage boy loves this one. I think it resonates with him well. It did with me when you released it. Thank you
Wow, I'm impressed RUclips has been mature enough to avoid commenting on "Hard and firm out on the curb again". Good Job! Wait... crap.
well... you did not spesifiy what that ment so,we will let it slide XD
No but really. This makes me almost cry. We had it too. Me and my two cousins would every summer meet, steal some empty boxes from shops and hide in attic, making cardboard models. Not exactly castles, but anyway, great times. One of that cousins got in some trouble, the other one is now traveling to all possible mountains of the world and I work for a broadcasting company not being at home pretty much all the time. Lifes went on, but I still can't refuse that kid inside. ...just hoping the other ones have it the same. This song touched me deeply. Thank you.
I was at work this song came on and made my day. I think I've listened to it about 13 times within the last hour. Wheeler Walker junior you couldn't hit this day on the nail, any better for me? Thank you much, sir, and f*** this job.
Whoever reads this I want you to know you are beautiful/handsome and you are appreciated and you can do anything you put your mind to!
Yes, keep on keeping on.
Thanks ❤️, and so are you
If I switch this to HD I see his moustache
All we can do as humans is try to bring a little light into someone's life. Thank you brother.
Watsky has a way of catching a vibe on his albums that just speak so clearly to me. I love it!
glad to hear a lyrical musician who has a honest and positive method to their music. Thank you for rapping about things that make me want to do better.
Happy birthday song. Thank you for being 💕
this was such a lovely video..it made me feel the feelings
I think it's amazing that george will ALWAYS upload his own music.
This is my final goodbye of existence. This song is memory. Well done sir. Thanks.
Damn this takes me back. 🥲 We’re getting old y’all.
Alright, Watsky's officially the best artist ever. He writes real stuff.
A decade later and this albumn is just what I needed in my life right now
Im 21 and youre one of the top 10 artists of all time to me. You kill every track. Word up Watsky
Bro is 30 now
dude holy fuck
agreed
Even Dave is shook by this.
George Watsky, I know you probably won't see this, but i really love your music. Anything that I want or even NEED to listen to, I can turn to you. I didn't like this song very much at first, but then I payed more attention to the video ad lyrics. I love your music, and if I didn't know about you, my life would be a lot harder. I'm so happy when I listen to your music. Some of it is so good, i start to cry. I really just want to thank you. Keep up the good work! ☺
"I still gotta believe people are good at the core"
Most adorable music video ever. Awesome message, calming flow.
I still have the CD for this, given to me by the friend who showed me your music and this song first. I'm really not a fan of rap and this completely changed my mind. I'll never forget this song.
50,000 more guys, get er to a million!
im still dreaming after all these years
this takes me back 45 years
Thank you for the new personal anthem. My whole world fell apart over the last few months and I needed these lyrics.
good luck
oh yeah
Dude I absolutely love your music and I love all your songs. Keep doing what you're doing I don't know how I would live without you and your music.
I first listened to this song when I was 13, now I'm 24 with one kid and another on the way. haven't stopped dreaming since. always wanted to be a music artist and now I'm about to drop my third album. time flies.
This is the cutest love story I've seen in a long time, lol.
Derek Skinner still better than twilight
Its 2020 and this song still inspires me like the first time i heard it!
2021 still rocking since pale kid raps!!! Love you man Come back to us!
That Taj Mahal line hit So Hard
Trueeee
I tried watching this in 4K. My computer was not having it.
lhh
SirGamerPerson
I know 4k is 2160p bitch I was saying I don't give a fuck if your shitty ass computer couldn't run it at 144p.Get a life nobody cares
Michael Angst You seem to have a lot of trouble coming up with insults that actually make sense. You should work on that.
SirGamerPerson Don't worry about him, he just has a lot of pent up sexual frustration. Girls don't really like the "fatass" look do they Michael Angst
iamnotafeline Oh. My. God. Sorry for replying, but that made me laugh my ass off. Haha.
How are you not famous. This song is way better than anything on the radio.
I've never seen the full music video but this is so sweet. I can't handle.
Watsky you are a God. You inspired me so much
This is so good omg why is there not over a million views everyone needs to hear his music..I want Watsky to be in the top ten on Itunes
Awww I had already heard and loved this song, but seeing the video is even cuter and sweeter
Sat down in my room doing some paperwork, just started listening to this guy and i'm nearly crying hes that good.(no homo)
Before i began to right this comment i saw some of the previous ones giving this guy shit for apparently nothing apart from the fact that he didn't like the music. Yo if you don't like it, don't fucking listen to it, i believe George (if that's his name) is doing just fine without your fucking criticism.
What a crescendo with that choir and drums beautiful
watsky is so fucking amazing, im glad i saw him in concert
+Epic_Vids me too!
"love thy neighbor, fuck thy hater" I love that oml
I relate to this. This song made me cry when I first heard it. I was sitting "on the curb again" not knowing my next move. Id officially like to thank my guardian angels, the king of kings, my mother, my grandmother and my TRUE friends for standing by me when I looked like a losing proposition, a stupid gamble, a useless investment. Love my neighbors and i exfoliate with the tears of my haters. Im building my Taj Mahal...out of zebra duct tape and construction paper. Special thanks to you George. Your music is an inspiration. Ive officially fallen in love with your talent and brave intelligence. Keep changing the world - one view at a time 💎💓👣
This guy is the realist rapper out.
George Watsky , you are frucking awesome ,and I don't care what other people say about you I love you
This song is addicting, once you finish it you just have to listen to it again. You can't listen to anything else until you've listened to this about 5 times.
Thank you, Watsky, for this excellent song. You've inspired me to do some writing...
It’s all the same, just rather split apart
The same, wholesome beating of the single Human heart
Yet, there’s divisions in it, positions in each chamber
Their positions win it, possessions, each who came here
Their aimers set on targets to see who’ll get the farthest
But, at harvest, their carcass, it just demolishes
God just polishes the souls held within them
With sins, them people better see how equal they really be
And what thoughts they got when they talk about
Their life in which they wrought as they walk around
Using SAT words or four-letter-syllables
From this, they’re indivisible, all this bad habit makin’
As long as there’s no separation of them from their nation
In education, they either love it or hate it
Depends on how you take it
Like a pencil, you shouldn’t break it
Just save it for a day when you can write a better statement.
Ah, memories. This song is as good at it was when I first heard it.
I think I just figured out why his music isn't played very much on the radio.
Too many people would show up hours late for work because of how many times the would have to pull over to the side of the road to cry.
I slightly choke up when I listen to this! :')
I take from it, just to keep moving on. I came up poor, music is all I have most times.
Jay Brinkman I hear ya, poor and lonely here, but Watsky helps. Best of luck to you.
Every king needs a queen.
Stephen Ingersoll *cough cough* Joffrey
What if he's gay. (No offense or anything)
Meme Dangle Maybe a drag queen? XD
The king will still have a king if he's gay. No difference
Why has it taken me so long to find this amazing music? Watsky is gold.
is anyone else suprsed that that bully didn't break the bike when he jumped on it??
xD
Comments like this aren't cool cause like if the kid playing him comes and reads the comments he's gonna feel really shitty and he could be a really cool guy in real life
+KafeisKid I'm just kidding dw
Awesome little man !
thats xactly what i thought!
I wonder what happened to this kid
Still dreaming after all these years
@@JA-px5rt still
@@michaelkurland2409hes out there just like the rest of us. Trying to survive.
Life
😊
why isn't this guy famous...love it
good song
Then why are you hating those people? The irony of stupid hypocrites makes me laugh everytime again. You are more heartless you wish people you dont even know to burn for eternity.
Yeah you goddamn hypocrite.
what the hell are you talking about how am i a hypocrite when there are people that live off of givng people hell disliking a video that has meaning so dont call me a hypocrite you little dweeb
or they just didn't like the song man, no biggie
thank you
this points out a serious issue
The only musician that never gets old
You should be as famous as Eminem!
indeed
pappa lars ....says the one that wrote "is" instead of "are"
pappa lars You literally have the wrong opinion.
***** so true
But actually good!
i wanna see this covered acapella
Thanks for sharing a little bit of joy...
2160p? o.o
yeah i thought the same wtf
It's fucking cinema quality dude o.o
Pretty Much TY
UnavoidableName Not really a long time
codsniper31 That resolution has been around on youtube since 2010. It's a pretty common resolution for multi-monitor setups, and has been for years. I think that's what he meant.
I want to play Minecraft with this kid!
This is my favorite Watsky song. This is my favorite Watsky album. This is my favorite version of you and this song is what made you my favorite rapper. This beauty and inspiration and childlike wonder that sets you apart from all other rappers. But all your new music just seems to be catching on the bandwagon of trendy jerkishness. For your next album, shave that stubble, grow that hair out, and sing like this. Because this is the song I love. This is the song I tell people to listen to when I want to introduce them to you. This is the song I so desperately want to sing at my school talent show. This is the song I write the lyrics to in my notebook when I'm bored. Because this is the you I loved. Come back George. Come back.
Genesectasaurus I agree
This video is 4:20 long
If you were high you would think it was 420 seconds long
420 is April 20
April 20 is national weed day
Illuminati confirmed
Watsky has 6 letters in his name, 6+6=12 cardboard castles has 16 letters in it 12+16=28 Hitter was 28 once! illuminati confirmed
Michael Oroark Kurt Cobain wasn't.
PhoenixDude too soon
and hitlers birth day
Is my man still tapping that
I don't know for sure, but i feel the question that you are asking here is if the boy is friends with the girl? And I was wondering the same, actually. It's a good question.
I just love the message in this song. "When you can make something incredible, from materials and conditions that seem undesirable, people will take notice."
"if people were like Watsky there wouldn't be war" am i right!?
The little girl is the same as in tiny glowing screens.
I have honestly never heard a rapper like Watsky. I love how he fuses harmonies and alternative essences into his raps. Honestly one of my favorite musicians ever.
Am I the only one that thinks his hair looks like chainmail armor
No I said the same thing lol
Now I must listen to the song without looking at the video or I can't help giggling
what if thy neighbor is thy hater?
I don’t think watsky is will ever truly know how many lives he’s touched with his music.
beat in the back sounds like toy soldiers by Eminem
He's said before he likes to draw inspiration from artists he's a fan of so i wouldn't doubt if the beat was inspired by it.
