From The Ground Up Songtext / Lyric

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
