[Verse 1]
We built this thing from the ground up, babe
Doesn't that make you proud?
We stand back and stare with dropped jaws at all we have made
[Verse 2]
Started out on a Tuesday, Wednesday
Leaning against my car
Radio on, passenger door ajar
I tried to gather whether somebody else had your heart
Would I dare to take a stab in the dark?
[Verse 3]
Little did I know though, know though
What had begun occurring under my nose
Little did I know that I'd be
Sleeping under your covers through the whole year, honey
[Verse 4]
Actor and an actress
I was playing a role so real
Caught you off guard, contemplate how to feel
I'm thinking we put it down to time and place and event
Name our behaviour as irrelevant
[Verse 5]
But a day well spent
Was paving the path that was lying ahead
And two tongues so tied
They loosened to learn one another with time
[Verse 6]
For here we are in the summer's heat, Brunswick Street
Love far from turning sour
Headed for breakfast at some ungodly hour
And while I live in your pockets, you inhabit my plans
I guess my waist remains a good resting place for your hands
Boy, in your mind did you know it then?
One night with me would turn into a whole weekend, and then some
[Verse 7]
Didn't foresee it, thought you were out of my league
Who knew your hazardous gaze would amplify your prestige?
[Verse 8]
On a day well spent
It was paving the path that was lying ahead
And two tongues so tied
They loosened to learn one another with time
Look at us now
Merely in sync
Living this easy, I'm beginning to think
We're on to a good thing, maybe even the best
Little did we know that we'd take a chance on a case of happenstance
[Verse 9]
(I was playing a role so real)
I wonder when you play it in reverse
Do you find the thought oh, so comical it hurts?
The people we are now
Once never could have known how
We built this thing from the ground up, babe
And doesn't that make you proud?
[Verse 10]
'Cause a day well spent
Was paving the path that was lying ahead
And two eyes so bright
Would haunt you till you saw them at the end of every night
Look at us now
Merely in sync
Living this easy, I'm beginning to think
We're on to a good thing, maybe even the best
Little did we know that we'd take a chance
Little did we know that we'd take a chance on a case of happenstance
