lyrics

You hold the line
Waiting for something and closing your eyes
I’m feeling almost gone
Pushing your ear to the ground
Fill your pockets with your fidgeting hands
Until you hear the words you want

You shoulda known better, shoulda made another plan
Shoulda thrown it further and you coulda passed them
You coulda been better, coulda done gone made a stand
Somewhat lost, yet always tethered to home

I carried you over the line
dirt in your hair looked a little like dust
And you whispered "how soon?"
I built these walls and you built the fence
You filled your pockets with your fidgeting hands
But this ol’ place weathered the storm

You shoulda known better, shoulda made another plan
Shoulda thrown it further and you coulda passed them
You coulda been better, coulda done gone made a stand
Somewhat lost, yet always tethered to home

It’s never enough
When what surrounds us is worn
Rust settles in and we’re forced to go it alone
We hold the line ...
... Patiently hanging on

Closing our eyes so we miss the storm
Filling our pockets with dust so we remember home
