Falling

We all had a dream once
Of what we could have been
Held it close to our heart
As we thought of when
We would be where we want
And it's like everything fits
We're here and it's perfect
And then the truth hits

Nothing is as it was
You're stuck and there's nothing you can do
Feels like you're falling and for the first time in your life
That dream seems to fall apart too

You admired the ones who dreamt
And saw that dream come true
You applauded as they flew high into the sky and
You thought of when that would be you

You've soared for so long
But every bird has to land
How can you reach the skies
When it's not like you what you planned
No longer where you belong
But there's no turning back
You're here; it's not perfect
You've fallen through the cracks

And nothing is as it was
You're stuck in a world you thought you knew
Feels like you're falling and for the first time in your life,
You can't tell what the next thing is to do

You're too old to be lost, too young to be broken
And you've got so much life to live
You may not know what you have now to live for
But you're sure you've something to give

Nothing is as it was
When you've lost all sight of what to do
Feels like you're falling and for the first time in your life
The one who must light the way is you

You know, a lot of things changed when I turned 18,
but I also learned something.

See, nothing is as it was
When you're stuck, there's always something you can do
Feels like you're falling and for the first time in your life
You can see that everyone's falling too
