You were never broken by ordinary things
You kept holding out for the big mistake
I was fragile, too scared, too delicate
You kept trying, I'm the one that quit
Worn out by 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 would do it all again, all for the thrill
I was raised, you get out before you sink
And you are brave about everything

Nostalgia, sweet, hindsight is so dear
Objects now are smaller than they appear
The birds of summer, in winter they disappear
In spring return new life, oh, new years
Now, here I am, I am humble on my knees
Come back to life, come back to everything

Come back to life, come back to everything
Oh, you were right about everything
Oh, you were right about everything
Oh, you were right about everything

Woke up this morning, I was lying next to you
Woke up this morning, I was lying next to you
Thinking about last night now I'm lying next to you
What you've given me, I am lying next to you
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
