I meant it all and every part
And every word right from the start
I`ll never let this love fall in the middle
`Cause you know you broke the hardest part
You know you broke the hardest heart
I`ll never let this love fall in the middle
Through it all
Fifteen years old in a sea of blank faces
Swimming bold against a stream that`s mocking as it races
In these halls, mountain high under a tangerine sky
Crack a smile just to hide the race that`s inside
Eighteen years old bags packed and a pass for the rail
One last look at the past as it drowns in the hail
One in a million, still I keep feeling you keep me from a fall
A world to lose coming back with you tall
Through it all
[chorus]
No parachutes or safety nets here
One foot in the water to face these fears
Coming out strong like I can`t be wrong
I said eh, I won`t fall in the middle
Twenty five here I am with freshman LPs
One life to write one, two years to repeat
Behind a curtain, uncertain if an encore`s in store
Tuck my shoulder like a soldier to knock down the door
Thirty something here I am running with kisses for one girl
These scars upon my sleeve still casting out my pearls
Throw each stone microphone like it`s my last turn
With a kiss to the abyss and watch the ripples return
Through it all
[chorus]
And I`m gonna be alright, I`m gonna be alright
With you by my side
And I said I`m gonna be alright, I`m gonna be alright
With you through this fight
Through it all
