  • Everything I ever knew
    Came from you
    Everything I wanna be
    That's in me
    That comes from me

    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

    You can fly away too
    That's on you
    But don't tell me what I cannot do
    I can tie all my shoes
    And put on my coat
    Living a history
    The one that I wrote

    And I know not everybody gets a new life
    And I know not everybody get 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

    Everything I Ever Knew

    And I know not everybody gets to start over again
    But I do know what I'm doing with my new life
    Build it up
    Break it down
    Build it up

    Burn it up
    Break it down
    Build it up

    You can fly away too
    That's on you Writer/s: Ingrid Michaelson
