Our Cathedral

You trace the cracks
In the plaster of our plans
Dust on your fingertips
Like years slipping out of our hands
Coffee gone cold
On the edge of the same old fight
You say "We're getting older"
I say "We're almost getting it right"

This is our cathedral of sparks
Built from the blown-out
Burned-down parts
Every broken vow
Every sleepless night
Glowing in the dark like stained glass light
If we're gonna fall
Then let it be art
Set fire to the walls of our guarded hearts
I don't want safe
I just want true
In this cathedral of sparks with you

You wear your fear
Like a coat in the middle of June
I peel it back
Slow
See the bruise-colored sky in your room
You laugh too loud
When you talk about running away
But your keys stay hung
On the same nail every day

This is our cathedral of sparks
Built from the blown-out
Burned-down parts
Every broken vow
Every sleepless night
Glowing in the dark like stained glass light
If we're gonna fall
Then let it be art
Set fire to the walls of our guarded hearts
I don't want safe
I just want true
In this cathedral of sparks with you

Let the silence shake
Till the chandeliers swing
All the ghosts we made
Start learning to sing
Put your hand in mine
As the old world cracks
If the ceiling comes down
We'll carry each other on our backs

This is our cathedral of sparks
Built from the blown-out
Burned-down parts
Every broken vow
Every sleepless night
Glowing in the dark like stained glass light
If we're gonna fall
Then let it be art
Set fire to the walls of our guarded hearts
I don't want safe
I just want true
In this cathedral of sparks
Our cathedral of sparks
In this cathedral of sparks with you
