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