[Verse]
I bought the planks they’re stacked so high
Blueprints scattered but I’ll try
Nails in my pocket screws in my hand
This ain't easy like I planned
[Prechorus]
Measure twice cut once they said
But my tape is twisted thread
Wood splinters flying thoughts collide
Will this deck hold what’s inside
[Chorus]
Build it up tear it down
Start again don’t let me drown
Hammer falls echoes loud
I’ll stand tall make you proud
Build it up build it up
Till the ground shakes beneath us
[Verse 2]
Level the beams fight the tilt
Pressure’s heavy sweat is spilt
Sun’s beating down rain will come
This is war with wood and thumb
[Prechorus]
Splinters sting but I won’t quit
Every plank another hit
Bent and bruised but I still stand
Deck of dreams by my hand
[Chorus]
Build it up tear it down
Start again don’t let me drown
Hammer falls echoes loud
I’ll stand tall make you proud
Build it up build it up
Till the ground shakes beneath us
