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 once 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 climb the ladder
If you will then I'll build

On any given day
We could simply walk away
And let someone else hold the pieces
The lies that we tell
Say it's 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 it's you
And only you not just now,
Not just today,
But it's you and only you for always
