Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh, oh Only sound, only sound, that you hear is "no" You never saw it coming Slipped when you started running And now you've come undone, and I, I, I, I
Seen you fall, seen you crawl, on your knees, eh, eh Seen you lost in a crowd, seen your colors fade Wish I could make it better Someday you won't remember, This pain you thought would last forever and ever
[Chorus] There you'll stand, ten feet tall I will say, "I knew it all along" Your eyes, wider than distance This life is sweeter than fiction
Just a shot, just a shot, in the dark, oh, oh All you got, all you got, are your shattered hopes They never saw it coming You hit the ground running And now you're on to something I, I, I say
What a sight, what a sight, when the light came on Proved me right, proved me right, when you proved them wrong And in this perfect weather It's like we don't remember The rain we thought would last forever and ever
[Chorus] There you'll stand, ten feet tall I will say, "I knew it all along" Your eyes, wider than distance This life is sweeter than fiction
There you'll stand, next to me All at once, the rest is history Your eyes, wider than distance This life is sweeter than fiction (fiction)
[Bridge] I'll be one of the many saying Look at you now, look at you now, now I'll be one of the many saying You made us proud, you made us proud, proud
I'll be one of the many saying Look at you now, look at you now, now I'll be one of the many saying You made us proud, you made us proud, proud
And when they call your name And they put your picture in a frame You know that I'll be there time and again 'Cause I loved you when
When you hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh oh Only sound, only sound that you heard was "no" Now in this perfect weather It's like we don't remember The rain we thought would last forever and ever (forever)
[Chorus] There you'll stand, ten feet tall I will say, "I knew it all along" Your eyes, wider than distance This life is sweeter than fiction
There you'll stand, next to me All at once, the rest is history Your eyes, wider than distance This life is sweeter than fiction, fiction
Sweeter than fiction, It's sweeter, yeah, It's sweeter, it's sweeter, Sweeter than fiction
