Sweeter Than Fiction
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. Except when you
started running. And now you've come
undone and, I, I, I seen...
Seen you fall, seen you crawl,
on your knees ay, ay. Seen you lost,
in a crowd, seen your colors fade.
Wish I could make it better, someday
you won't remember, that pain you
thought would last forever and ever.
And there you stand, ten feet tall,
and I will say "I knew it all along".
Your eyes are 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.
And there you stand, ten feet tall, and
I will say "I knew it all along". You're
eyes are wider than distance. This life
is sweeter than fiction.
There you stand, next to me, and
All at once, the rest is history.
Your eyes are wider than distance,
this life is sweeter than fiction, fiction.
And I'll be, one of the many saying
"look at ya now, look at you now,
no-o-o-ow". And I'll be, one of the
many saying "you made us proud,
you made us proud, pro-o-o-ud."
And I'll be, one of the many saying
"look at ya now, look at you now,
no-o-o-ow". And I'll be, one of the
many saying "you made us proud,
you made us proud, pro-o-o-ud."
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 ya, 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 pain we thought would last
forever and ever.
There you stand, ten feet tall,
and I will say "I knew it all along".
Your eyes are wider than distance.
This life is sweeter than fiction.
There you stand, next to me,
all at once, the rest is history.
Your eyes are brighter than distance.
This life is sweeter than fiction, fiction.
Sweeter than fiction.
Sweeter, yeah. Sweeter. Sweeter.
Sweeter than fiction.
