Built to Last
Style: Acoustic pop

[Verse 1]
Oil pools dark in the old tin can
hose curled yellow in the grass
you fix things nobody else would touch
you make the broken pieces last

[Chorus]
Keira, light the candles now
raise a glass up, hold it high
Keira, this is your whole day
here's to you, don't ask us why

[Verse 2]
You've got grease under your fingernails
from carrying us all this far
never asking for the credit
just quietly being who you are

[Pre-chorus]
So let the whole room turn to face you
let them see what we already know
one more year, and still you're steady

[Chorus]
Keira, light the candles now
raise a glass up, hold it high
Keira, this is your whole day
here's to you, don't ask us why

[Bridge]
Nothing shines without a little wear
that's the truth of how things run
you kept us going all this time
now it's your turn to be the one

[Chorus]
Keira, light the candles now
raise a glass up, hold it high
Keira, this is your whole day
here's to you, don't ask us why

[Outro]
The tin still sits beside the hose
and you still hold us, steady and whole
