I am bending

Made of steel

I am stumbling 

Towards something real

How can you forget this feeling

Of standing straight while the world is reeling?



Don't leave me here alone

You're as close as it gets to home



Don't look down 

You might fall

Life made rookies of us all

In our finest year

Don't wait up 

We'll be fine

Somehow we might get it right

In our finest year



I am hopeful

Full of doubt

And I am trying to work this whole thing out

So how can you just sit there sleeping

When your worlds on fire

And your chest is beating?



And I want to think you feel the same



Don't look down 

You might fall

Life made rookies of us all

In our finest year

Don't wait up 

We'll be fine

Somehow we might get it right

In our finest year



In this moment

While you're breathing

If the future leaves you needing

Will you be the one who stayed?

As your life just slipped away?



Don't leave me here alone

You're as close as it gets to home 



I'll be there if you fall

Love made suckers of us all



Don't look down 

You might fall

Life made rookies of us all

In our finest year

Don't wait up 

We'll be fine

Somehow we might get it right

In our finest year
