Lyrics
We Build
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's bigger than we thought
It's taller than it oughta 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?
Chorus:
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 that it's better somewhere else
As if love flies south when it freezes
What I'm tryin' to say
In some clumsy way is that
It's you and only you for always
Chorus:
That's why 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
What I'm tryin' to say
In some clumsy way is that
It's you and only you for always
Not just for now, not just today
But it's you and only you
For always
So if you hold the nails, I'll take the hammer
I'll hold it still if you'll climb the ladder
And if you will, then I will build
