  • The dust has finally settled down
    The sun is shining on
    These pieces that are scattered all around
    This house was everything we knew
    It's where we kept our love
    And every single memory of me and you
    Every letter, every note,
    Every dress you never wore under your coat
    Thrown away

    Brick by brick,
    We can build it from the floor
    If we hold onto each other,
    We'll be better than before.
    And brick by brick,
    We will get back to yesterday
    When I made your body shiver
    And when you took my breath away,
    You took my breath away.

    The sky has made it back to blue,
    Everything that's left
    Is telling us the worst of it is through.
    Home has never felt so right,
    There's nothing in the way.
    There's nothing in between us
    Knowing where we're going is inside.
    Every letter that I wrote,
    Every dress you never wore under your coat
    Thrown away

    Brick by brick,
    We can build it from the floor
    If we hold on to each other,
    We'll be better than before.
    And brick by brick,
    We'll get back to yesterday.
    When I made your body shiver
    And when you took my breath away.

    All the pictures that we've taken
    And the songs that we have played
    That have all kept track and
    Followed back the love that we have made.
    Now they're spread out on the surface
    Where we can try to congregate
    It's not too late,
    To believe that we can get it all again

    Brick by brick,
    We can build it from the floor,
    If we hold onto each other,
    We'll be better than before.
    And brick by brick,
    We'll get back to yesterday
    When I made your body shiver
    And when you took my breath away,
    You took my breath away.

    Brick by brick
    We'll get back to yesterday,
    When I made your body shiver and
    When you took my breath away,
    You took my breath away. Writer/s: AMUND BJORKLUND, ESPEN LIND, PAT MONAHAN
