[Verse 1]
Tail lights stain the rain
Your name on my tongue
I drove past the diner
Where we both came undone
The back seat was cold
With a half-broken moon
I kept both hands steady
Like I could carry you
[Pre-Chorus]
But the floor kept shaking
And the sky kept falling
I was cracked wide open
Still I heard you calling
[Chorus]
We rise in the rubble
We rise, we rise
Hold on to the trouble
Hold on tonight
We sing through the wreckage
We sing, we sing
I lost my way in the fire
You brought me back in
[Verse 2]
Your jacket in the closet
Still smells like that road
I learned how to breathe
With a stone in my throat
The phone lit up at midnight
With a voice I knew
You said, “Stay with the hurt, kid
It can make room for you”
[Pre-Chorus]
So I kept on moving
With my fists unclenched
Every scar was proof now
I was more than regret
[Chorus]
We rise in the rubble
We rise, we rise
Hold on to the trouble
Hold on tonight
We sing through the wreckage
We sing, we sing
I lost my way in the fire
You brought me back in
[Bridge]
If I break, I break open
If I fall, I fall forward
What we bury in the dark
Grows roots in the sorrow
[Breakdown]
Hey
Hold on
Hold on
[Final Chorus]
We rise in the rubble
We rise, we rise
Hold on to the trouble
Hold on tonight
We sing through the wreckage
We sing, we sing
I lost my way in the fire
You brought me back in
We rise in the rubble
We rise, we rise
Nothing here can take us
We’re alive tonight
We sing through the wreckage
We sing, we sing
I lost my way in the fire
You brought me back in
