The lights are off, but I know that you're home
You're lying there a worn out stare, can't sleep alone
The midnight rain pours down the window by your head
The thunder shakes past lives awake, beneath your bed
But the sheets your under keep their claws away
The nightmares come and go but I'm here to stay
Every time you turn your back again
Every time I'm reaching down
I'm picking up the pieces of your broken dreams
I'll hold them close 'til you're together
I'll keep you warm in colder weather
The house we built will keep away the rain
And we'll hold on through the storm, but leave before the hurricane
And how we came to be is a mystery
But do we stay because our history
And what were your hands made for
If not for holding on then letting go when things go wrong
And when your tears have dried and gone away
You'll see a shining light of a brand new day
Every time you turn your back again
Every time I'm reaching down
I'm picking up the pieces of your broken dreams
I'll hold them close 'til you're together
I'll keep you warm in colder weather
The house we built will keep away the rain
And we'll hold on through the storm, but leave before the hurricane
The night time through to dawn
We'll weather out this storm
So just keep holding on
And we'll leave before the Hurricane
