Build

one night

it was dark

the only light inside was for saving

held on

for dear life

and imagined a safe haven

my hands

helped me crawl

as all the walls were caving in

but through the dust that rose

i began to close but i didn't know, didn't know

as i tip toed through broken cement

i saw your silhouette

cause you guided me to you

pushed back debris

watched me climb

as the stones came loose

so i tried and i climbed

and i climbed and i tried

til i knew

i knew

through time

lots of patience

and sleepless nights

i could hear

silence resonate

from the corners of my brain

 so i began to close but i didn't know, didn't know

as i tip toed through broken cement

i saw your silhouette

cause you guided me to you

pushed back debris

watched me climb

as the stones came loose

so i tried and i climbed

and i climbed and i tried

til i knew

i knew

i knew something had to change

and everytime you said my name

i knew i wasn't alone

you made me so much better

and i feel it everytime we're together

cause you guided me to you

pushed back debris

watched me climb

as the stones came loose

so i tried and i climbed

and i climbed and i tried

til i knew

i knew

one night

it was dark

the only light inside was for you

and now

i built a brand new place

somewhere i can stay with you

Always, Lainey
