From The Ground Up Lyrics - Singles - Laura Shigihara

(verse 1) 

Yesterday it rained 

Watched everything wash away 

It took some time to dry 

Before I could feel okay 

I used all my tools 

Foundation of clay 

You kept digging this hole 

But climbing's not my forte 

(pre-chorus) 

Take what you need 

We can fight our enemies 

But we have to hurry before 

the world crumbles around us 

(chorus) 

Take my hand 

We can build a land from the ground up 

I don't even mind 

leaving it behind us 

Watch and wait and work until it all falls down-down 

Down-down, until it all falls doooooown 

(verse 2) 

Today the sky fell 

Clouds in disarray 

I put back all the blue 

Before the sun could complain 

There were stars everywhere 

Zombies at my gate 

Now that the end is near 

Nothing left to do but wait 

(pre-chorus 2) 

Are we prepared? 

Are we there? 

Do you even care 

Now I am afraid, but it's okay 

The world crumbles around us 

(repeat pre-chorus 2 and chorus)
