The hallway holds a silence now Louder than the storms outside We walked past the open door And looked the other way to hide The dinner plates were stacking up The dust had settled on the frame We were two ghosts in a house on fire Afraid to speak the name. And I thought we’d drown right here on dry land I thought the night would never end We were breaking into pieces Too shattered to defend But when the sky came crashing down And we had no strength to stand We found we weren't falling We were caught by a thousand hands. The winter came in early And the money ran away We turned our words to weapons To fight the gray of every day I packed a bag, you turned the lock We were ready to let go To leave the wreckage of this love Buried in the snow. Then came the knock upon the door Then came the food upon the porch Then came the whispers in the dark Passing on the torch. And I thought we’d drown right here on dry land I thought the night would never end We were breaking into pieces Too shattered to defend But when the sky came crashing down And we had no strength to stand We found we weren't falling We were caught by a thousand hands. They didn't fix the heartbreak They couldn't stop the tears But they sat beside us in the dark And chased away the fears A town that wouldn't let us sink A net that pulled us through By loving us so loudly They taught us to love you. Oh, I thought we’d drown right here on dry land But the morning started to ascend We are stitched back up together A jagged, honest mend ‘Cause when the sky came crashing down And we had no strength to stand We never hit the bottom... We were caught by a thousand hands. The hallway holds a silence now But the light is coming through We’re walking forward, side by side Carried by the few. Yeah, carried by the few.
