From the Ground Up

Allister

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 
'cause 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
