Life is hard but we've got each other

Lyrics

[VERSE 1 – HER] You’re counting tips in a coffee can Rent’s due Monday, we’re short again You kiss my forehead, say “We’ll get there” But the tire’s bald and the cupboards bare We’ve got a couch that’s losing springs A window cracked, lets in everything But when the night leans hard on me You’re the only light I see [PRE-CHORUS – HER] We got ghosts in the hallway, bills on the floor But I’d rather be broke with you than rich and unsure [CHORUS – BOTH] So hold on, even when the sky falls down When the bar lights fade and the world gets loud We’re bruised, but we’re still beating Love’s the only sound I’m needing Storm winds howl, try to shake this house apart Let the whole town crumble, you’re my steady heart We’re a two-lane prayer in the pouring rain We bend, we break, we rise again Hold on to me, I’ll hold on to you ’Til the clouds break open and the sun shines through [VERSE 2 – HIM] You work late nights at that rusted bar Pouring cheap red wine in mason jars You smell like smoke and last call songs But your tired smile keeps me strong The boss cut hours, we cut back dreams So we sew ’em up at the busted seams You curl into me on the thrift-store bed Whisper, “We’re rich in love instead” [PRE-CHORUS – HIM] There’s a leak in the ceiling, drip in a pan But I’ll build you a kingdom with these broken hands [CHORUS – BOTH] So hold on, even when the sky falls down When the bar lights fade and the world gets loud We’re bruised, but we’re still beating Love’s the only sound I’m needing Storm winds howl, try to shake this house apart Let the whole town crumble, you’re my steady heart We’re a two-lane prayer in the pouring rain We bend, we break, we rise again Hold on to me, I’ll hold on to you ’Til the clouds break open and the sun shines through [BRIDGE – DUET, CALL & RESPONSE] [HER] I know you’re scared we might lose this place [HIM] I’d sleep in the truck just to see your face [HER] If it all burns down to the bones and dust [HIM] We’ll carve our names out of faith and rust [TOGETHER] We’re not perfect, but we fit just right Like a match and the dark on a long, hard night If the world falls apart, let it fall outside You’re my harbor, baby, I’m your high tide [BREAKDOWN – HER, SOFT] Count my heartbeats in your hands We’ll turn these cracks into golden strands If all we own is this worn-out tune I’ll sing it with you ’neath a blood-red moon [BUILD – HIM] Every hit we take, every door slams shut Just another scar for a deeper love We’re hanging on by a fraying thread But it’s woven tight ’round the words we said [CHORUS – BOTH, BIG] So hold on, even when the sky falls down When the bar lights fade and the world gets loud We’re bruised, but we’re still beating Love’s the only sound I’m needing Storm winds howl, try to shake this house apart Let the whole town crumble, you’re my steady heart We’re a two-lane prayer in the pouring rain We bend, we break, we rise again Hold on to me, I’ll hold on to you ’Til the clouds break open and the sun shines through [OUTRO – BOTH, STRIPPED] [HER] When the night gets cold and the bottle’s through [HIM] I’ll be right here, reaching out for you [TOGETHER] We’re each other’s rock in a world gone wrong If all we have is love, then love is strong So hold on to me, I’ll hold on to you ’Til the worst is over and the storm is through
