It's bigger than we thought, |
[00:15.53] |
It's taller than it ought to be, |
[00:20.58] |
This pile of rubble and ruins |
[00:30.47] |
The neighbors must talk. |
[00:35.48] |
It's the worst yard on the block |
[00:40.65] |
Just branches and boards |
[00:46.00] |
Where walls once stood. |
[00:51.07] |
Did it seem to you |
[00:56.51] |
Like the storm just knew? |
[00:59.86] |
We weren't quite finished |
[01:03.62] |
With the roof when it started. |
[01:08.79] |
|
[01:16.63] |
So we build, we build |
[01:27.35] |
We clear away what was |
[01:31.98] |
And make room for what will be. |
[01:37.86] |
If you hold the nails, I'll take the hammer |
[01:43.22] |
I'll hold it still, if you climb the ladder. |
[01:48.74] |
If you will then I'll build. |
[01:55.31] |
|
[02:03.94] |
On any given day |
[02:08.96] |
We could simply walk away |
[02:14.48] |
And let someone else hold the pieces. |
[02:25.11] |
The lies that we tell |
[02:28.75] |
Say it's better somewhere else, |
[02:34.49] |
As if love flies south when it freezes. |
[02:41.80] |
|
[02:44.80] |
What I'm trying to say, |
[02:50.03] |
In some clumsy way |
[02:53.75] |
Is that it's you |
[02:56.21] |
And only you for always. |
[03:03.03] |
|
[03:04.16] |
That's why we build, we build |
[03:15.66] |
We clear away what was |
[03:20.78] |
And make room for what will be. |
[03:26.16] |
If you hold the nails, I'll take the hammer |
[03:31.23] |
I'll hold it still, if you climb the ladder. |
[03:36.64] |
If you will then I'll build. |
[03:43.08] |
|
[03:52.32] |
What I'm trying to say, |
[03:56.45] |
In some clumsy way |
[04:00.17] |
Is that it's you |
[04:02.22] |
And only you not just for now, |
[04:07.53] |
Not just today, |
[04:11.06] |
But it's you and only you for always |
[04:20.34] |
|
[04:22.02] |
So if you hold the nails, I'll take the hammer |
[04:27.94] |
I'll hold it still, if you climb the ladder. |
[04:33.26] |
If you will then I'll build. |
