I meant it all and every part
|
And every word right from the start
|
I'll never let this love fall in the middle
|
'Cause you know you broke the hardest part
|
You know you broke the hardest heart
|
I'll never let this love fall in the middle
|
Through it all
|
|
Fifteen years old in a sea of blank faces
|
Swimming bold against a stream that's mocking as it races
|
In these halls, mountain high under a tangerine sky
|
Crack a smile just to hide the race that's inside
|
Eighteen years old bags packed and a pass for the rail
|
One last look at the past as it drowns in the hail
|
One in a million, still I keep feeling you keep me from a fall
|
A world to lose coming back with you tall
|
Through it all
|
|
[chorus]
|
No parachutes or safety nets here
|
One foot in the water to face these fears
|
Coming out strong like I can't be wrong
|
I said eh, I won't fall in the middle
|
|
Twenty five here I am with freshman LPs
|
One life to write one, two years to repeat
|
Behind a curtain, uncertain if an encore's in store
|
Tuck my shoulder like a soldier to knock down the door
|
Thirty something here I am running with kisses for one girl
|
These scars upon my sleeve still casting out my pearls
|
Throw each stone microphone like it's my last turn
|
With a kiss to the abyss and watch the ripples return
|
Through it all
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
And I'm gonna be alright, I'm gonna be alright
|
With you by my side
|
And I said I'm gonna be alright, I'm gonna be alright
|
With you through this fight
|
Through it all
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
I meant it all and every part
|
And every word right from the start
|
I'll never let this love fall in the middle
|
Through it all
|
