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