[Verse 1] You came in with your jacket torn And a laugh that cut the cold Said, “I’m done with being careful” Like a promise made of gold We took the long way past the station Boots beating out a dare Every shuttered shop went by us Like the town had stopped to stare [Pre-Chorus] You said, “If the door won’t open, We’ll make the whole wall move” I felt the fear fall backward When I stepped in next to you [Chorus] We’re still here, still standing With our hands up to the sky Still here, still demanding A little more from this life No one gets to name us finished No one gets to call this done We’re still here, still standing And we’re moving as one [Verse 2] Your brother called from the county line Said the old mill’s shutting down You went quiet by the payphone Then you turned and faced the town We filled the hall with folding chairs And names on paper plates By morning there were trucks outside And neighbors at the gates [Pre-Chorus] You said, “If the door won’t open, We’ll make the whole wall move” I felt the fear fall backward When I stepped in next to you [Chorus] We’re still here, still standing With our hands up to the sky Still here, still demanding A little more from this life No one gets to name us finished No one gets to call this done We’re still here, still standing And we’re moving as one [Bridge] When the papers hit the table When the last good word runs dry Look across the room and find me I’ll be there, shoulder to side [Final Chorus] We’re still here, still standing With our hands up to the sky Still here, still demanding A little more from this life No one gets to name us finished No one gets to call this done We’re still here, still standing And we’re moving as one [Outro] Still here Still standing Moving as one
