The Clearing

Just one drop could take the whole house down

God only knows, can't stop the sound (Of the outside, coming inside)

Can't un-hear it once it's said out loud

And you should have known better

You should have known better

You should have known better

You should have known better by now

After the fires went out

That's when the rain came

Whatever we're going to be now

We've gotta build it in the clearing

Just one spark will take the whole town out

God only knows you can't stop us now

Can't unsay it once you've drawn the crowd

And we should have known better

We should have known better

We should have known better

We should have known better by now

After the fires went out

That's when the rain came

Whatever we're gonna be now

Love, we've gotta build it in the clearing

After the fires went out

That's when the rain came

Whatever we're gonna be now

Love, we've gotta build it in the clearing

And I know it's my privilege

And I know it's my burden

To be burned by the sleeping

And to beg for forgiveness

After the fires went out

That's when the rain came

Whatever we're gonna be now

Love, we've gotta build it in the clearing

After the fires went out

That's when the rain came

Whatever we're gonna be now

Love, we've gotta build it in the clearing

Build it in the clearing

Build it in the clearing
