Us and Ours

Gold house breaking into pieces
And love your singing hallelujah
Earth won't fall, but the mountain's gonna shake
Are we dancing in the waves tonight

Speed lights shooting in the corner
Star by simple little minds
We're falling like birds from the open sky
Are we heading for the big fire?

You said, "Don't, don't waste your time on my eyes
'Cause they've got broken sights and holes and tears that hide away"
You said, "Please don't ask me for the last word"
The silence starts in full swing
We're listening
'Cause a body that hurts is a body worth moving"

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Us and ours
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
It's gonna be a bright day someday afternoon
In this whole house, you said it

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Us and ours
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Gonna ride those highs and lows all flesh and bone
The sun will set and we'll all start dreaming

Hopes of the promise that I held on my tongue
Lost along the way
It's hard to lose anything that you never had
Mindful of the time we make

These days getting something out of your faith
Wrap the words around it
The jury's out on the perfect sentence
Never to be heard again

You said, "Don't, don't count your blessings too much
You make them less in size
And feel until they've gone away
And you said, "Hold me, but please don't hold too tightly"
We've still got lots of lines to fill
And homes to build
And a body that hurts is a body worth moving

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Us and ours
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
It's gonna be a bright day someday afternoon
In this whole house, you said it

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Us and ours
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Gonna like those eyes and know it's all flesh and bone
The sun will set and we'll all start dreaming

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Us and ours
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
It's gonna be a bright day someday afternoon
In this whole house, you said it

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Us and ours
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Gonna like those eyes and know it's all flesh and bone
The sun will set and we'll all start dreaming
