Verse 1

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

Chorus 1

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 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

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Bridge

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

Verse 3

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

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Chorus 2

It all went by too fast

Never could react

Once you have fired the shots

They can't be taken back
