Lyrics and translation
Original
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 fall.
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 asked that kid, "Now, are you proud of who we are? "
If I sat him down and told him all of 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?
Ooh, ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh. Ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh. Ooh.
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.
Ooh, ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh. Ooh.
Ooh, ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh. Ooh.
