Out of the Rubble

Behold the crisis that I knew
A cold locked up the counter boarded houses on
The street where we would live
If the earth hadn't shaken everything off of it
Come to me dear, come closer
Set them up and I'll come over
And let it happen like this
The lesson I missed was when
We hit it on the head
Something has got to give
Something has got to

I will be the face you see
That pulled itself out of the rubble
Into someone that you swore was dead and gone
And out of the rubble
I will be the face you see
That pulled itself out of the rubble
Into someone that you swore was dead and gone
And out of the rubble

I saw the crack spread on the floor
She said, "Everybody in the doorway"
And the earth it moved in waves and waves
Never reaching shore
I found a place on solid ground
She said, "I think it's finally over"
And we walked into the aftermath
Stronger than before
You're shaking things up but it hadn't just right
All perfectly placed, or sealed in tight
You're counting on plans that could never be changed
If it ever falls through, you could never replace
I counted again but it doesn't add up
Don't wanna give in, don't wanna give up
When people have said this is the end
All I say, we hit it on the head

I will be the face you see
That pulled itself out of the rubble
Into someone that you swore was dead and gone
And out of the rubble
I will be the face you see
That pulled itself out of the rubble
Into someone that you swore was dead and gone
And out of the rubble

I saw the crack spread on the floor
She said, "Everybody in the doorway"
And the earth it moved in waves and waves
Never reaching shore
Something has got to give
Something has got to give
