[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 Id 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 cant be taken back [Verse 2] You spread your roots and anchored into all of me The ground is soft but theres no room to breathe You had to push and force into abnormal growth We couldve trimmed it if we took it slow But from the highest branches theres much thinner air And things look different when youre 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 cant 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 theres much thinner air And things look different when youre 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 cant be taken back It all went by too fast Never could react Once you have fired the shots, they cant be taken back
