  • Oh, oh, oh

    I never thought that it'd be easy
    'Cause we both so distant now
    And the walls are closing in on us
    And we're wondering how
    No one has a solid answer
    We're just walking in the dark
    And you can see the look on my face
    It just tears me apart

    So we fight through the hurt
    And we cry, and cry, and cry, and cry
    Then we live and we learn
    And we try, and try, and try, and try

    So it's up to you and it's up to me
    That we meet in the middle
    On our way back down to earth
    Down to earth, down to earth
    On our way back down to earth
    Ooh, oh, oh, ooh

    Mama, you were always somewhere
    And Daddy I live outta town
    So tell me how could I ever be normal some how
    You tell me this is for the best
    So tell me why am I in tears, whoa
    So far away and now I just need you here

    So we'll fight through the hurt
    And we'll cry, and cry, and cry, and cry
    Then we live and we learn
    And we try, and try, and try, and try

    So it's up to you and it's up to me
    That we meet in the middle
    On our way back down to earth
    Down to earth, down to earth
    On our way back down to earth
    Ooh, oh, ooh, oh, ooh

    We felt so far away from where we used to be
    And now we're standing, and where do we go
    When there's no road to get to your heart?
    Let's start over again

    So it's up to you and it's up to me
    That we meet in the middle
    On our way back down to earth
    Down to earth, down to earth
    On our way back down to earth

    I never thought that it'd be easy
    'Cause we both so distant now
    And the walls are closing in on us
    And we're wondering how Writer/s: Carlos Battey, Justin Bieber, Kevin John Risto, Mason Levy, Steven Battey, Waynne Nugent

  • Elizabeth from Tennessee 37760this song is also easy for me to relate because i have been with 2 guys and we somehow never worked out and it hurts me so bad. so this is how I have been since then. I still am crying everyday wishing we would have worked out but we didn't so no biggie.:( he is living his dream. JB you rock.
