From The Ground Up

We built this up together on a shaky ground Before too long it started crumbling down So I got out before the whole thing hit the floor But you knew better I'd be back for more And when I finally did it was strange to see That you rebuilt it with no help from me The same foundation but the rest is new You made this it belongs to you It all went by too fast No time to react Once you fire the shots They can't be taken back You spread your roots and make your things for all of me The ground is soft but there's no room to breathe You had to push and force into abnormal growth We could have dreamed it if we took it slow But from the highest branches there's much thinner air And things are different when you're way up there Now all I want is you to come back down And start again on level ground It all went by too fast No time to react Once you fire the shots They can't be taken back I went and left you for dead But you just got up again And every fight just seems to make you stronger I tried to tear this apart But it was blown from the start Cuz you just had to grab them all and run from the highest branches there's much thinner air And things are different when you're way up there Now all I want is you to come back down And start again on level ground It all went by too fast No time to react Once you fire the shots They can't be taken back It all went by too fast Never could react Once you fire the shots They can't be taken back
