It's bigger than we thought |
|
It's taller than it ought to be |
|
This pile of rubble and ruins |
|
The neighbors must talk |
|
It's the worst yard on the block |
|
Just branches and boards where walls stood |
|
Did it seem to you |
|
Like the storm just knew |
|
We weren't quite finished with the roof |
|
When it started? |
|
So we build |
|
We build |
|
We clear away what was and make room for what will be |
|
If you hold the nails, I'll take the hammer |
|
I'll hold it still, if you'll climb the ladder |
|
If you will, then I will, build |
|
On any given day |
|
We could simply walk away |
|
And let someone else hold the pieces |
|
The lie that we tell |
|
Says its better somewhere else |
|
As if love flies south when it freezes |
|
What I'm trying to say |
|
In some clumsy way |
|
Is that it's you and only you for always |
|
What I'm trying to say |
|
In some clumsy way |
|
Is that its you and only you, not just for now, not just today |
|
But its you and only you for always |
