Lyrics
I'm the Sheetrock dust from a Tuesday in November
On a new subfloor they won't even remember.
He's got a nail-gun hiss, she's got a low-humming sander,
Scraping away the years to a standard they can stand here.
[Chorus]

[Chorus]
'Cause if every joist and pillar's new,
Is it the same roof holding you?
Same love, with a different wood?
[Outro]
Same roof...
Different wood.
