Hold the Floor

I swept the dust out of the hall
I hung the pictures on the wall
I finally learned to sleep through the night
Without jumping at the light

You're breathing softly in the bed
The quiet voices in my head
You're breathing softly in the bed
The quiet voices in my head
Are finally telling me I'm fine
I've crossed the finish line
But the silence is so loud
It's drawing up a crowd
I look around at what I've got
And my stomach ties a knot
Because I know how the story goes
When it's perfect, the wind blows
So hold the floor, don't let it cave
I've given everything I have to save
This little piece of heaven I've found
I finally built a house, don't burn it down
Please, just leave it be
Don't take it away from me
I'm staring at the ceiling fan
Making every kind of plan
To build a fortress 'round the yard
Keep the angels off their guard
'Cause if they see how good it is
They'll put my name on the list
I look around at what I've got
And my stomach ties a knot
Because I know how the story goes
When it's perfect, the wind blows
So hold the floor, don't let it cave!
I've given everything I have to save
This little piece of heaven I've found!
I finally built a house, don't burn it down!
Please, just leave it be!
Don't take it away from me!
(Don't take it!)
I know I'm not a perfect man
I've ruined almost every plan
I don't deserve the grace I've seen
But God, I'm begging on my knees
Leave this one alone
Let me keep my own!
Hold the floor, don't let it cave!
I've given everything I have to save
This little piece of heaven I've found!
I finally built a house, don't burn it down!
Please, just leave it be!
Don't take it away from me!
Don't take it away from me
Please, just leave it be
Don't take it away from me
Please, just leave it be...
Don't take it away from me.
