What Holds
Wes... you fixed the dishwasher, the fence, and my bad mood, all before noon, and didn't mention any of it. I don't think you know the whole house leans on you. So sit down for once. This one's yours. [Verse] You patched the roof in the pouring rain Re-wired the lamp I said to throw away You don't make a speech, you just show up Coffee on the counter in my favorite cup [Chorus] Wes, you're the wall that holds the house (holds the house) Quiet in the middle of all my loud You carry more than you let me see (let me see) Tonight you sit — and the rest is on me [Verse] You think you're just the one who's good with tools The steady hand, the one who keeps his cool But every plan I built, I built on you You take the early shift so the bills come through [Chorus] Wes, you're the wall that holds the house (holds the house) Quiet in the middle of all my loud You carry more than you let me see (let me see) Tonight you sit — and the rest is on me [Bridge] (mmm, Wes) You'd never say the days get heavy too So I learned your tells — the quiet, the long fuse Lean on me tonight. I've got you [Final Chorus] Wes, you're the wall that holds the house (holds the house) Quiet in the middle of all my loud Tonight you don't fix a thing — you rest (you rest) And I hold up the man who holds the rest [Outro] (oh, Wes) I've got you
