You Were Right About Everything

You were never broken by ordinary things You kept holding out for the big mistake I was fragile, too scared and delicate You kept trying, I'm the one that quit Worn out by the baggage that we bring You were right about everything There were times your age began to show You were never more dangerous to know You passed me running, you caught me standing still You'd do it all again for the thrill I was raised you get out before you sink You were brave about everything Nostalgia sweet, hindsight so dear Objects now are smaller than they appeared The birds of summer, in winter disappear In spring return new life, new years Here I am, humble on my knees Come back to life, come back to everything
