[Intro] I kept a wreck and called it living I kept a mouth that only spent [Verse 1] One day I’ll get the sentence right And I won’t lead with sorry I’ll shut the noise I use for armor And let you finish I said I’d listen Then I watched the floor Your love came in cold I treated it like weather [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need a relic Of how we almost drowned I need a door that closes And stays that way [Chorus] Make it a home Not a monument Not a shrine to every fight Make it a home Four walls and a witness I will learn the silence I will learn the light Make it a home Make it a home [Verse 2] I used to want the sky to take me Just to skip the work of staying I look up now because I’m here Not because I’m leaving I’ll even love the hard way Watch myself and change the hands Anything you need While I learn how to stand [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need a relic Of the poor years in a drawer I need a table And a name on the door [Chorus] Make it a home Not a monument Not a shrine to every fight Make it a home Four walls and a witness I will learn the silence I will learn the light Make it a home Make it a home [1st Guitar Solo] [Bridge] I was the cold I was the distance I was the apology That never built a wall So I put the hammer down I put my name in the wood If you’ll still have the wreck I’ll turn it into good [2nd Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] Make it a home Not a monument Not a shrine to every fight Make it a home Four walls and a witness Look to the sky and live Make it a home Make it a home [Outro] I stop saying sorry I start staying
