[Verse 1]
You got kids' shoes by the front door
Bills stacked by the coffee mug
Laundry mountains
Late-night dishes
Still you find a way to love
I'm checking in from some motel
Ceiling stains and humming air
You’re tucking in our little world
While I’m wishing I was there
[Chorus]
You hold this house up
When I'm gone
When it's rough
Through the slammed doors
The hard words
You still show up
We can shout
We can break
Over little mistakes
But when everything shakes
You hold this house up
You hold this house up (oh oh)
[Verse 2]
You remember every school form
Every snack for every game
You show up to every meltdown
Still somehow you say my name
Like I'm more than just a paycheck
More than voice stuck in a phone
You’re the one that keeps us steady
You turn this house into a home
[Chorus]
You hold this house up
When I'm gone
When it's rough
Through the slammed doors
The hard words
You still show up
We can shout
We can break
Over little mistakes
But when everything shakes
You hold this house up
You hold this house up
[Bridge]
We don't always say it kindly
We don't always get it right
But if love is in the staying
Then we’re staying
Side by side
If the roof ever falls in
If the walls ever give
I will be your shelter
Like you’ve always been for me (yeah)
[Chorus]
You hold this house up
When I'm gone
When it's rough
Through the slammed doors
The hard words
You still show up
So here's my heart
Here's my name
Every promise I can make
For the rest of my days
You hold this house up
You hold this house up
You hold this house up (my rock, my love)
