Build It Up - Ingrid Michaelson

Everything I ever knew came from you

Everything I wanna be, that’s in me

That comes from me

Mmm

Mmm

Open up your fist and let me out

I was made to run around

And let me feel the air beneath my feet

Let me go

And I know not everybody gets a new life

And I know not everybody gets to start over again

But I do know what I’m doing with my new life

I’ll build it up, break it down, build it up

Build it up, break it down

Build it up, break it down

You can fly away too, that’s on you

But don’t tell me what I cannot do

I can tie on my shoes and put on my coat

I’m living a history, the one that I wrote

And I know not everybody gets a new life

And I know not everybody gets to start over again

But I do know what I’m doing with my new life

I’ll build it up, break it down, build it up

Build it up, break it down, build it up

And everything I ever knew

Everything I ever knew

And I know not everybody gets to start over again (Everything I ever knew)

But I do know what I’m doing with my new life (Everything I ever knew)

Build it up, break it down, build it up (Ooh, everything I ever knew came from

you)

Burn it up, break it down, build it up

You can fly away too, that’s on you
