You Were Right About Everything

You were never broken by ordinary things

You kept holding out for the big mistake

I was fragile, too scared and delicate

You kept trying, I'm the one that quit

Worn out by the baggage that we bring

You were right about everything

There were times your age began to show

You were never more dangerous to know

You passed me running, you caught me standing still

You'd do it all again for the thrill

I was raised you get out before you sink

You were brave about everything

Nostalgia sweet, hindsight so dear

Objects now are smaller than they appeared

The birds of summer, in winter disappear

In spring return new life, new years

Here I am, humble on my knees

Come back to life, come back to everything
