While I was busy painting Hearts on all the walls Making our house feel like home Hanging pictures in the halls There was a leak I didnt see And another in the roof You were trying to tell me Pointing at the proof I’m not asking you for easy I’m not asking you to swear That the road won't break beneath us Or that life will ever play fair I’m just asking for permanent Whatever shape that has to be When the whole damn world works against us Keep working your way toward me I finally hear what you mean What exactly we need to repair I got my hammer and the drill I can finally meet you there Its not too late to do this The damage can be undone Our foundation is still good Neither of us has to run I’m not asking you for easy I’m not asking you to swear That the road won't break beneath us Or that life will ever play fair I’m just asking for permanent Whatever shape that has to be When the whole damn world works against us Keep working your way toward me Baby please When the whole damn world works against us Keep working your way toward me Keep working your way toward me
