[00:09.82]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.
