How a Family Holds a Home

가사

[Verse 1] Your coat is hanging by the kitchen door Mud on the hem from the walk home in the rain You set the table like you always do Four mismatched plates and a story to explain [Pre-Chorus] We don't agree on every little thing But every road I take comes back to you [Chorus] We're the hands that pass the cup around The extra chair pulled close when someone comes to town Through the hard days, through the years we can't control You keep a place for me, I keep a place for you That's how a family holds a home [Verse 2] Dad repairs the clock above the stairs Mom saves birthday cards inside a wooden drawer My sister calls from somewhere far away And somehow her hello fills the room once more [Pre-Chorus] We carry different weather in our hearts Still know the shape of where the others are [Chorus] We're the hands that pass the cup around The extra chair pulled close when someone comes to town Through the hard days, through the years we can't control You keep a place for me, I keep a place for you That's how a family holds a home [Bridge] If the years put miles between our names If a season changes everything I'll meet you where the front porch meets the road With the old key and the welcome that we know [Final Chorus] We're the hands that pass the cup around The extra chair pulled close when someone comes to town Through the hard days, through the years we can't control You keep a place for me, I keep a place for you When the whole world feels too large to hold You keep a place for me, I keep a place for you That's how a family holds a home [Outro] Four mismatched plates beneath the evening light One more story, and we're doing all right
