We Build · letra

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
