I haven't seen too many years
But I have feared and I have loved
I've fallen through the sky without a parachute and died
And then gone back again to jump
I've walked along the highway at midnight
Cried head inside my hands
I did beg of you to pull me out the fire
And came out on my own and singing like a man
Not a single scar left on my heart
Was left there by an enemy
Just old familiar stories and precious things that
All got the very best of me
When tanner fell, I learned what it feels like
What it's like to fear the phone
But if he hadn't left a big dent in that roof
I don't believe that anybody could have known
I've surely come a long way since eighteen
But some part of me stayed locked in that car
And now I often wonder if I ask that kid now
"Are you proud of who we are?"
If I sat him down and told him all these stories
All the worse and all the better
Would he want everything I have loved and I have lost
Would he still go and get them sunflowers and leather?
Would you like who I am now?
Now that I'm a little older
Now that Georgia got colder
Now that I am on the run
Did I hold to every promise?
Did I do it all for love?
Did I go and make you proud here?
Will I ever do enough? Oh
