From the Ground Up

I walk in the room with my head held high

And you're looking at me, I can feel your eyes

They fall on me

I have been here before and I know how it feels

It'll take us so high, then we'll drop on our knees

And we'll fall from grace

Histories have followed me too far

And now I'm haunted by the stars

Tear down my walls, I need a brand new start

So can we meet where I first saw you smile

At me, and we can redefine

How we construct our new desire?

Help me build us from the ground up

So we make it out alive

We can tear down the walls that have crumbled with grime

And we'll build a foundation with words and with time

So the walls stand up

Then we'll go out and lay the electrical lines

So there's energy flowing through all of the wires

To connect our hearts and minds

We'll stay warm with insulated walls

The roof will keep us safe and dry

We'll pray the home for both our hearts

Will never fall

So can we meet where I first saw you smile

At me, and we can redefine

How we construct our new desire?

Help me build us from the ground up so we make it out alive

Bricks that I laid years before

Have cracked from pressure long ago

But I realized that I need that land to build a home for you

So I will break down every wall

And start again, so if I fall

At least I know I'll fall the whole way down

So can we meet where I first saw you smile

At me, and we can redefine

How we construct our new desire?

Help me build us from the ground up

So we make it out alive
