Hit the ground, hit the ground
Hit the ground, oh, oh
Only sound, only sound
That you hear is “No”
You never saw it comin’
Slipped when you started runnin’
And now you’ve come undone
And I, I, I, I
Seen you fall, seen you crawl
On your knees, eh, eh
Seen you lost in a crowd
Seen your colors fade
Wish I could make it better
Someday you won’t remember
This pain you thought would last
Forever and ever
There you’ll stand
Ten feet tall
I will say
“I knew it all along”
Your eyes, wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction
Just a shot, just a shot
In the dark, oh, oh
All you got, all you got
Are your shattered hopes
They never saw it comin’
You hit the ground runnin’
And now you’re on to somethin’
I, I, I say
“What a sight, what a sight”
When the light came on
Proved me right, proved me right
When you proved them wrong
And, in this perfect weather
It’s like we don’t remember
The rain we thought would last
Forever and ever
There you’ll stand
Ten feet tall
I will say
“I knew it all along”
Your eyes, wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction
There you’ll stand, next to me
(Next to me)
All at once
The rest is history (Oh)
Your eyes, wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction
(Sweeter than fiction)
I’ll be one of the many sayin’
“Look at you now
Look at you now, now”
I’ll be one of the many sayin’
“You’ve made us proud,
You’ve made us proud, proud”
I’ll be one of the many sayin’
“Look at you now
Look at you now, now”
I’ll be one of the many sayin’
“You’ve made us proud
You’ve made us proud, proud”
And when they call your name
And they put your picture in a frame
You know that I’ll be there time and again
‘Cause I loved you when, when you
Hit the ground, hit the ground
Hit the ground, oh, oh
Only sound, only sound
That you heard was “No”
Now, in this perfect weather
It’s like we don’t remember
The rain we thought would last
Forever and ever (Forever)
There you’ll stand
Ten feet tall (Ten feet tall)
I will say “I knew it all along” (Along)
Your eyes, wider than distance
(I knew it all along)
This life is sweeter than fiction
(Sweeter than fiction)
There you’ll stand
Next to me (Next to me)
All at once
The rest is history (Oh)
Your eyes, wider than distance
(I knew it all along)
This life is sweeter than fiction
(It’s sweeter than fiction)
It’s sweeter than fiction
It’s sweeter, yeah
It’s sweeter, it’s sweeter
It’s sweeter than fiction
