We built this thing from the ground up, babe
Doesn't that make you proud
We stand back and stare with dropped jaws at all we have made
Started out on a Tuesday, Wednesday
Leaning against my car
Radio on, passenger door ajar
I tried to gather whether somebody else had your heart
Would I dare to take a stab in the dark?
Little did I know though, know though
What had begun occurring under my nose
Little did I know that I'd be
Sleeping under your covers through the whole year, honey
Actor and an actress; I was playing a role so real
Caught you off guard, contemplate how to feel
I'm thinking we put it down to time and place and event
Name our behaviour as irrelevant
But a day well spent was paving the path that was lying ahead
And two tongues so tied, they loosened to learn one another with time
For here we are in the summer's heat, Brunswick St
Love far from turning sour
Headed for breakfast at some ungodly hour
And while I live in your pockets, you inhabit my plans
I guess my waist remains a good resting place for your hands
Boy in your mind did you know it then
One night with me would turn into a whole weekend, and then some
Didn't foresee it, thought you were out of my league
Who knew your hazardous gaze would amplify your prestige
On a day well spent; it was paving the path that was lying ahead
And two tongues so tied, they loosened to learn one another with time
Look at us now, merely in sync
Living this easy I'm beginning to think
We're onto a good thing, maybe even the best
Little did we know that we'd take a chance on a case of happenstance
I wonder when you play it in reverse
Do you find the thought oh so comical it hurts
The people we are now once never could have known how
We built this thing from the ground up, babe
And doesn't that make you proud
'Cause a day well spent was paving the path that was lying ahead
And two eyes so bright would haunt you
'Til you saw them at the end of every night
Look at us now, merely in sync
Living this easy I'm beginning to think
We're onto a good thing, maybe even the best
Little did we know that we'd take a chance
Little did we know that we'd take a chance on a case of happenstance
