Started With a Crazy Little Plan

[Verse 1] Started with a crazy little plan Few wrong turns and some borrowed hands Paint on the walls, hope in the air Didn’t have much, but we got it there Late nights laughin’ through the stress Holdin’ it together in a mess Every crack and every scar Is a piece of who we are [Pre-Chorus] Yeah it ain’t just neon, wood, and stone It’s every memory we’ve ever known [Chorus] We built this place on love and laughs On broken nights and second chances Every toast and every song Is a piece of where we’re from At The Pond Martini Bar where the lights stay on Even when someday we’re long gone If these walls could talk, they’d say We were here… and we made a way [Verse 2] Every stranger turned into a friend Every night we swore we’d do again Stories spillin’ over ice and gin You don’t walk out the same you walked in There’s a mark on every stool and floor From the ones who came before And long after we’re not around You’ll still hear that same old sound [Pre-Chorus] Glasses clinkin’, voices carryin’ on Like a rhythm that don’t ever stop [Chorus] We built this place on love and laughs On long nights that went too fast Every cheer and every fight Led us right here tonight At The Pond Martini Bar where the lights stay on Even when someday we’re long gone If these walls could talk, they’d say We were here… and we made a way [Bridge – emotional but grounded] Maybe one day it’s someone new Pourin’ drinks and singin’ too They won’t know every name or face But they’ll feel us in this place [Final Chorus – lift, hopeful] We built this place on love and laughs And that kind of thing don’t ever pass It lives on in every night In every wrong turn turned out right At The Pond Martini Bar where the story stays In the echoes and the waves If you’re here, then you’re a part Of the beat of this old heart [Outro] So raise a glass before you go To the ones you’ll never know Who built this place… and let it be A little piece of legacy
