Verse 1: Male

You said the gate was hanging by a thread

I brought the wrench, you brought the red paint

We worked till both our hands were black

Then laughed at what we couldn't fix

Verse 2: Female

Your old blue jacket caught the rain

I stitched the elbow on the train

You kept the ticket in your pocket

Like proof we made it through that night

Pre-Chorus: Male and Female

If the boards give way beneath us

We can build another floor

Chorus: Male and Female, harmony

Hold fast, hold fast

We’re not done with this yet

When the whole thing shakes and bends
