Hold It All Together
chptrs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Fast forward thinking
Would you rewind and let us in
I'll be ready where the pieces fall tonight
If they fall again

Look around here, slow down
We'll miss a page if we run about
I'll be ready where the pieces fall tonight

If they fall again

It's an honor to wade here
Thrown out in the wreckage
Didn't want this
In my circling in paces
You gathered all the wreckage
And you made this

Safe and sound
Something about you
Stands out
There's something about you

Pull me closer now
Where you hold it all together
Seamless and bound
Running to arms we found
Where you hold it all together
Hold it all together
Safe and, safe and sound
Hold it all together
Safe and sound

Call out with reason
We'll till the ground beneath 'em
I'll be ready where the pieces fall from sight
When they fall again

It's an honor to wade here
Floating in the wreckage
Where I'm wanted
When my wrestling replaces
You gathered all the wreckage
And you made this

There's no denying
That our time has come
Shown to unfold
Stories untold

There's no denying
That our time has come

See you in a promise sent
Made to glorify
