  • 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

    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 onto 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

    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 (sweeter than fiction)
    There you'll stand next to me (next to me)
    All at once, the rest is history
    Your eyes wider than distance
    This life is sweeter than fiction (sweeter than fiction)

    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)

    There you'll stand, ten feet tall (ten feet tall)
    I will say I knew it all along
    Your eyes wider than distance (knew it all along)
    This life is sweeter than fiction (sweeter than fiction)
    There you'll stand next to me (next to me)
    All at once, the rest is history
    Your eyes wider than distance (knew it all along)
    This life is sweeter than fiction (sweeter than fiction)

    It's sweeter than fiction
    It's sweeter, yeah
    It's sweeter, it's sweeter
