Hold This House Up

[Verse 1]
I wasn't awake to notice the rain
I wasn't awake
Until I saw you kneeling in the mud
I added the cost, I gathered the rope
I sounded the bell
But oh, the damage had already been done

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I know it's late, I know it's late
But I think it's not too late
To get our hands dirty
And act like it's worth being saved

[Chorus]
Will you help me hold this house up
Will you help me hold this house up
Will you help me hold this house up
And let the waters pass beneath

[Verse 2]
You want to let go, let it go on
You haven't the heart
For one more disappointing turn of events
But look at the stone under our feet
Still in it's place
And I think that these old bones could stand a chance

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I know it's hard, I know it's hard
But I think it's not too hard
To fix it together
Maybe stronger than ever before

[Chorus]
Will you help me hold this house up
Will you help me hold this house up
Will you help me hold this house up
And let the waters pass beneath

[Interlude]
Oh (Let the waters pass beneath)
Oh (Let the waters pass beneath)
Oh (Let the waters pass beneath)
Oh

[Chorus 2]
Will you help me hold this house up
Will you help me hold this house up
Will you help me hold this house up
And let the waters pass beneath
Will you help me hold this house up
Will you help me hold this house up
Will you help me hold this house up
And let the waters pass beneath

[Outro]
Will you help me hold this house up
And let the waters pass beneath
