From The Ground Up Lyrics - 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
