Acoustic Pop / Folk
[Verse 1] Static on the radio, coffee in a paper cup We spend the first half of our lives just trying to grow up Leaving footprints in the yard, marks against the wall Chasing every shadow, never thinking we could fall But the world gets big, and the days get fast And you look around wondering how long it's gonna last [Chorus] But I've got a roof when the rain comes down And I've got a map when I lose this town Yeah, the road gets long and the wind blows cold But I'm holding onto stories that are waiting to be told We might bend, but we don't break For every single step we take We're building up a home from the pieces on the floor And I couldn't ask for more [Verse 2] Boxes in the hallway, key turning in the door Trading simple questions for the things we can't ignore Count the winters by the grey, measure time in worn-out shoes Learning what to keep and learning what we have to lose Every crack along the tile tells a story of its own Just a collection of the moments that we've known [Bridge] Maybe the foundation isn't set in stone It's the hands that you are holding so you're not alone It's the quiet in the evening when the noise dies down The quiet grace of sticking around [Chorus] But I've got a roof when the rain comes down And I've got a map when I lose this town Yeah, the road gets long and the wind blows cold But I'm holding onto stories that are waiting to be told We might bend, but we don't break For every single step we take We're building up a home from the pieces on the floor And I couldn't ask for more [Outro] Just the marks against the wall And the ones who catch me when I fall No, I couldn't ask for more
