Redrawn Floorplan

[Verse 1]
The porch light on that rental off of Bandon Road hums low.
He sees the ghosts of his whole family in that peeling window glow.
The turn of the key is a century of rust and bad plans.
The air inside is cool and still, a stillness he understands.
His father’s men built half this town on crooked lines and sand.

[Chorus]
But she walks through walls his people built to keep the world away.
She’s a new cathedral rising from the mud and the clay.

[Verse 2]
There's a hairline fracture running from the mantel to the sill.
A testament to every promise his bloodline couldn't help but kill.
He watches her trace the crack with one thumb, quiet in the Tuesday gloom.
She said, "'It's just the house settling,'" and walked out of the room.

[Chorus]
But she walks through walls his people built to keep the world away.
She’s a new cathedral rising from the mud and the clay.

[Bridge]
He thought his own heart was a room with a boarded-up door.
He didn’t know what a load-bearing beam was even for.

[Outro]
She’s redrawing the floorplan, right here on his skin.
