Lyrics
I haven't seen too many years
But I have feared and I have loved
I've fallen through the sky without a parachute and died
And then gone back again to jump
I've walked along the highway at midnight
Cried head inside my hands
I did beg of you to pull me out the fire
And came out on my own and singing like a man
Not a single scar left on my heart
Was left there by an enemy
Just old familiar stories and precious things that
All got the very best of me
When Tanner fell, I learned what it feels like
What it's like to fear the phone
But if he hadn't left a big dent in that roof
I don't believe that anybody could have known
I've surely come a long way since 18
But some part of me stayed locked in that car
And now I often wonder if I ask that kid now
"Are you proud of who we are?"
If I sat him down and told him all of these stories
All the worse and all the better
Would he want everything I have loved and I have lost?
Would he still go and get them sunflowers and leather?
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh (yeah)
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh (yeah)
Would you like who I am now? Now that I'm a little older
Now that Georgia got colder, now that I'm on the run
Did I hold to every promise? Did I do it all for love?
Did I go and make you proud here? Will I ever do enough? Oh
But I have feared and I have loved
I've fallen through the sky without a parachute and died
And then gone back again to jump
I've walked along the highway at midnight
Cried head inside my hands
I did beg of you to pull me out the fire
And came out on my own and singing like a man
Not a single scar left on my heart
Was left there by an enemy
Just old familiar stories and precious things that
All got the very best of me
When Tanner fell, I learned what it feels like
What it's like to fear the phone
But if he hadn't left a big dent in that roof
I don't believe that anybody could have known
I've surely come a long way since 18
But some part of me stayed locked in that car
And now I often wonder if I ask that kid now
"Are you proud of who we are?"
If I sat him down and told him all of these stories
All the worse and all the better
Would he want everything I have loved and I have lost?
Would he still go and get them sunflowers and leather?
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh (yeah)
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh (yeah)
Would you like who I am now? Now that I'm a little older
Now that Georgia got colder, now that I'm on the run
Did I hold to every promise? Did I do it all for love?
Did I go and make you proud here? Will I ever do enough? Oh
