The tide is high I've never been so low You got room to grow You can never look up You can't ever look down You get kicked around But I built it with sand And I built it with rock I built it with all of the Things that I'm not And I watch from the hill As it burns to the ground I can still see the smoke From my train out of town Everything I build is breaking down Everything I build is breaking down I close my eyes Scared of what I saw Are you mad at all? Been an open book Been a slamming door Apple of the trojan war (chorus) Everything I build is breaking down Everything I build is breaking down Drink a little bit Dance a little bit Take a chance I lose it all I have no remorse no regrets When I'm hanging from This seventeenth floor The tide is high Never been so low You got room to grow Everything I build is breaking down Everything I build is breaking down
