Lyrics

I walked the perimeter by flashlight in the dark
Checking the joists listening for the spark
There's sawdust in the air hanging like incense
I'm trying to make the math work trying to make it make sense
There's a crack running sideways through the drywall in the hall
It breathes when the furnace kicks on I can hear it call
The inspector said son you gotta tear this whole room down
But he doesn't know the history of this town
Don't you touch that wall
Don't you touch that beam
It's the only thing holding up my crooked little dream
It's heavy and it's broken and it's cracking at the base
But it's keeping the whole roof from caving on my faith
Yeah the grief is structural it's settled in the stone
It's a load bearing heartache and I'm leaving it alone
I could remodel everything I could make it new and white
But I carved your initials in the studs that tuesday night
There's static in the walls but I know what it means
It's the hum of the memory living in the beams
So I'll learn to walk the hallway with a little bit of lean
I'll learn to live inside a house that isn't squeaky clean
It groans when the wind blows but it doesn't quit
Let it settle
Let it settle
Let it groan
Let it groan
I won't erase you
I won't pretend
I'll brace these beams and learn to bend
Don't you touch that wall
Don't you touch that beam
It's the only thing holding up my crooked little dream
It's heavy and it's broken and it's cracking at the base
But it's keeping the whole roof from caving on my faith
Yeah the grief is structural it's settled in the stone
It's a load bearing heartache and I'm leaving it alone
It's holding up the roof
Load bearing
It's holding me up too
Load bearing
I'm leaving it alone
