Brick By Brick Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Every letter, every note
Every dress you ever wore under your coat thrown away

[Chorus]
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
You took my breath away

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Every letter that I wrote
Every dress you never wore under your coat thrown away

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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 have it all again

[Chorus]
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
Took my breath away
[Outro]
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
