From the Wreckage Build a House Lyrics

We were racing down a road littered with crosses

Right down to Jalama beach and even though we missed the sunset
We jumped over barbed wire and cacti
Just to fall into the sea, skinny dipping’ youngin’s, you and I

We’re built to last
We’re built to last
Oh, We’re built to last
We’re built to last

Well now it’s clear you’re the wind and I’m the wave
Oh together we can brave all the things we never knew
So I’m making room on a boat I built for one
We can sail into the sun, till our skin’s as tough as diamonds

We’re built to last
We’re built to last
Oh, We’re built to last
We’re built to last

Oh We’re built to last
We’re built to last

If our ship does sink we will follow it like stones
From the wreckage build a home
From the wreckage build a home

We’re built to last
We’re built to last
Oh, We’re built to last
We’re built to last

Oh We’re built to last
We’re built to last

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
