"if i built my home from paper" is so soft and warm, it sounds as if it came straight out of a Disney movie. Not only does the melody and Lexie's voice sound comforting, but the lyrics themselves are also equally as soothing. This song is about that one person in your life that brings you the utmost comfort. The person who you can run to when life starts to drown you. The person that makes it feel as if that storm turned into a drizzle. The person who makes it feel as if every issue in the world has suddenly melted away. Lexie perfectly executed expressing this feeling through this piece, since this song gives the same level of comfort that your special person would.
Since Lexie executed this song so well, listeners are able to feel this piece on a personal level. Lexie has that kind of voice that was made for singing heartfelt pieces, a voice so sweet that she's able to express this topic perfectly. This song is comprised of softer-sounding instruments, such as the piano and string instruments, in order to craft the consoling sound. Her lyrics match the same level of comfort that the other aspects of this song achieve. The line "it's a trouble living in this world but it's home when you are there" in particular stood out to me as a great example for the song overall. This line, and the others like it, are so touching. This song was so well-produced and reveals just how talented Lexie is with her singing/songwriting.
