Not the Man I Thought
Did you ever think we'd get this far on our own?
How'd I go from bein' young to feeling old?
I know I'm not the man I thought I was gonna be
But I'm happy
I needed space, a time and place to drift alone and come of age
The wind that shakes, a noise she makes
Through passing clouds, I heard a sound
Soft as touch, too young to rust, your state of mind will grow in time
So marry me beneath a tree, on solid ground we make our stand
I've been in love and seen the world and this is just the start
I've been on top and felt the drop, it hurt a lot
Why do we fall?
To pick ourselves back up
Why do we fall?
To pick ourselves back up
(Ay, ay, ay)
You will fall, you will fail, you will falter
You will fear, you may fight in the face of danger
It's only human to be caught by conflictin' natures
Don't go makin' a big deal about it
Don't go makin' a big deal about anything
Don't go makin' a big deal about me
How'd I go from bein' young to feeling old?
I know I'm not the man I thought I was gonna be
But I'm happy
I needed space, a time and place to drift alone and come of age
The wind that shakes, a noise she makes
Through passing clouds, I heard a sound
Soft as touch, too young to rust, your state of mind will grow in time
So marry me beneath a tree, on solid ground we make our stand
I've been in love and seen the world and this is just the start
I've been on top and felt the drop, it hurt a lot
Why do we fall?
To pick ourselves back up
Why do we fall?
To pick ourselves back up
(Ay, ay, ay)
You will fall, you will fail, you will falter
You will fear, you may fight in the face of danger
It's only human to be caught by conflictin' natures
Don't go makin' a big deal about it
Don't go makin' a big deal about anything
Don't go makin' a big deal about me
