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 runnning

And now you come undone (I, I, I)

Seen you fall, seen you crawl on you knees (eh, eh)

Seen you lost in a crowd, seen you 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 stand, ten feet tall

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

Put me right, threw me right when you put them front

And in this perfect weather

It's like we don't remember

The rain we thought would last forever and ever

[Chorus]

There you stand, ten feet tall

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 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've made us proud, you've made us 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've made us proud, you've 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 you loved when

When you hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh oh

Only sound, only sound that you hear is "no"

Now in this perfect weather

It's like we don't remember

The rain we thought would last forever and ever

[Chorus]

There you stand, ten feet tall'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 wider than distance

This life is sweeter than fiction, fiction
