There Are Wrecking Balls Inside Us

Well, it hasn’t poured this much as long as I can remember
But I’ve been forgetting a lot
Sometimes, you get used to scraping bottom
There are wrecking balls moving in these rooms forgotten
Tearing it all down around me, taking little stabs at growing
Cutting my arms to spears, making dreams and not knowing
And never going to those places I make myself see
I just pull up the covers and try to get sleep
While the grass grows on the streets
I am all alone, you are all alone
I am all alone, you are all alone
I am all alone, and you are all alone
But we are all alone together
Because it’s okay to be scared sometimes
And brave sometimes
And fail sometimes, sometimes
And it’s not possible to lose every time
We have the time, we have the time
We have the time, we have the time
We have the time
What we build could be anything!
There are wrecking balls inside our hearts
Inside our tongues and they are moving
They’re swinging in our thoughts and fists
And they’re smashing us together
But that’s how we’ll make it through
We’ll use our hands and legs and guts and chains
And turn the ground with shovels and dig up dead roots
Unforgiven mistakes our parents made
That maybe we’ll make too
Build a fire and hammer out everything that we’ve obeyed
And make a plow to dig us through
Covered in gasoline, burning with purpose
I am not alone, and you are not alone
I am not alone, and you are not alone
And we are not alone together
Because it’s okay to be scared sometimes
And brave sometimes
And fail sometimes, sometimes
It’s not possible to lose every time
We have the time, we have the time
What we build could be anything!
We can go places that we never even thought of
There will never be exactly perfect seas to set sail on
So sister, the water is waiting
And brother, we all might drown
But if we dive on out together
And not just wonder if we’ll ever grow
We’ll be free forever and stop all this wandering around
Free inside our hearts and in jars in the basements of our minds
And give our lives away to keep each other alive
But we never will be finished, and I’m ok, are you ok?
Ok, ok, we’ll swing our hearts around in our own ways
What I build could be anything!
What you build could be anything!
What we build could be anything
It could be anything, anything!
What I build could be anything!
What you build could be anything!
What we build together could be anything!
We just have to build it
