From the Ground Up

[Verse 1]
We built this up together on a shaky ground
Before too long it started tumbling 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

[Chorus]
It all went by too fast
No time to react
Once you have fired the shots, they can't be taken back

[Verse 2]
You spread your roots and anchored into 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’ve trimmed it if we took it slow
But from the highest branches there's much thinner air
And things look different when you're way up there
Now all I want is you to come back down
And start again on level ground

[Chorus]
It all went by too fast
No time to react
Once you have fired the shots, they can't be taken back

[Bridge 1]
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 the ball and run

[Bridge 2]
From the highest branches there's much thinner air
And things look different when you're way up there
Now all I want is you to come back down
And start again on level ground

[Chorus]
It all went by too fast
No time to react
Once you have fired the shots, they can't be taken back
It all went by too fast
Never could react
Once you have fired the shots, they can't be taken back
