4. ‘This Could Build Us a Home’
‘This Could Build Us a Home’ reveals deeper meanings beneath its surface. Wyatt Shears explained the track’s dual nature: “This song revolves around two themes. The first is concerning this project and what will become of it. The second is concerning personal conflict with another person.”
