Kitchen Table

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My brother hates the fork scrape sound So we use the red plastic bowl Dad counts the steps to calm his mind Mom keeps the lights soft and low My sister needs the door shut tight I need the radio loud We all got weather in our heads But we still show up proud [Pre-Chorus] Some days are hard to hold Some days we fall apart But when the storm gets in the room We make a bigger heart [Chorus] We are one house (We are one house) We are one house Even when it shakes We are one room (We are one room) We are one room And nobody breaks [Verse 2] The grocery list is written twice And dinner's never on time Somebody cries, somebody leaves Then comes back by nine There are meltdowns by the doorway And silence in the hall Still I know when I am scared Your name can hold us all [Pre-Chorus] Some days are hard to hold Some days we lose the thread But when the world gets way too sharp You let me rest my head [Chorus] We are one house (We are one house) We are one house Even when it shakes We are one room (We are one room) We are one room And nobody breaks [Bridge] I don't need perfect I need your hand I need the grace That only family can When words get stuck When the noise gets bad You make a place Where I can still be had [Final Chorus] We are one house (We are one house) We are one house Even when it shakes We are one room (We are one room) We are one room And nobody breaks We are one name (We are one name) We are one name Love holds every part We are one house (We are one house) We are one house Right here in my heart
