Did you ever think we'd get this far on our own?

How'd I go from bein' young to feeling old?

I know I'm not the man I thought I was gonna be

But I'm happy

I needed space, a time and place to drift alone and come of age

The wind that shakes, a noise she makes

Through passing clouds, I heard a sound

Soft as touch, too young to rust, your state of mind will grow in time

So marry me beneath a tree, on solid ground we make our stand

I've been in love and seen the world and this is just the start

I've been on top and felt the drop, it hurt a lot

Why do we fall?

To pick ourselves back up

Why do we fall?

To pick ourselves back up

(Ay, ay, ay)

You will fall, you will fail, you will falter

You will fear, you may fight in the face of danger

It's only human to be caught by conflictin' natures

Don't go makin' a big deal about it

Don't go makin' a big deal about anything

Don't go makin' a big deal about me
