Lyrics of There Are Wrecking Balls Inside Us by Listener
verse
It hasn't poured this much as long as I could remember
But I've been forgetting a lot
Sometimes you get used to scrapin' bottom
There are wrecking balls moving in these rooms, forgotten
Tearing it all down around, taking little stabs at growing
Cuttin' my arms to spears, making dreams and not knowin'
Never going to those places, I make myself see
verse
I just pull up the covers, and try to get sleep, while the grass grows on the streets
I am all alone, and you are all alone
I am all alone, you are all alone
I am all alone, and you are all alone, but we are all alone together
verse
Because it's okay to be scared sometimes
And brave sometimes, and fail sometimes, sometimes
And it's not possible to lose every time
We have the time, we have the time
We have the time, we have the time
We have the time
What we build could be anything
verse
There are wrecking balls inside our hearts, inside our tongues and they are moving
They're swinging in our thoughts and fists, and they're smashing us together
But that's how we'll make it through
We'll use our hands, and legs, and guts, and chains
And turn the ground with shovels and dig up dead roots
Unforgiven mistakes our parents made that maybe we'll make too
Build a fire and hammer out everything that we've obeyed, and make a plow to dig us through
Covered in gasoline, burning with purpose
verse
I am not alone, and you are not alone
I am not alone, and you are not alone, and we are not alone together
Because it's okay to be scared sometimes
Brave sometimes, and fail sometimes, sometimes
It's not possible to lose every time
We have the time, we have the time
What we build could be anything
We can go places we've never even thought of
verse
There will never be exactly perfect seas to set sail on
So sister the water is waiting, and brother we all might drown
But if we dive on out together, and not just wonder if we'll ever grow
We'll be free forever, and stop all this wandering around
Free inside our hearts and in jars in the basements of our minds
And give our lives away to keep each other alive
But we never will be finished, and I'm okay, are you okay?
outro
Okay, okay, we'll swing our hearts around in our own ways
What I build could be anything
What you build could be anything
What we build could be anything, it could be anything, anything
What I build could be anything
What you build could be anything
What we build together could be anything
We just have to build it
