Sweeter Than Fiction (From "One Chance")

Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh, oh

Only sound, only sound that you hear is "no"

You never saw it coming, slipped when you started running

And now you've come undone and

I, I, I, I've seen you fall, seen you crawl, on your knees, ay, ay

Seen you lost in a crowd, seen your colors fade

Wish I could make it better, someday you won't remember

This pain you thought would last forever and ever and

There you'll stand, ten feet tall

I will say, "I knew it all along"

Your eyes wider than distance

This life is sweeter than fiction

Just a shot, just a shot in the dark, oh, oh

All you got, all you got are your shattered hopes

They never saw it coming, you hit the ground running

And now you're on to something

I, I, I said, "What a sight, what a sight," when the light came on

Proved me right, proved me right when you proved them wrong

And in this perfect weather, it's like we don't remember

The rain we thought would last forever and ever

There you'll stand, ten feet tall

I will say, "I knew it all along"

Your eyes wider than distance

This life is sweeter than fiction

There you'll stand, next to me

All at once, the rest is history

Your eyes wider than distance

This life is sweeter than fiction (Sweeter than fiction)

I'll be one of the many saying

"Look at you now, look at you now, now"

I'll be, one of the many saying

"You made us proud, you made us proud, proud"

I'll be one of the many saying

"Look at you now, look at you now, now"

I'll be one of the many saying

"You made us proud, you made us proud, proud"

And when they call your name, and they

Put your picture in a frame, you know that

I'll be there time and again

'Cause I loved you when, when you

Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh, oh

Only sound, only sound that you heard was "no"

Now in this perfect weather, it's like we don't remember

The rain we thought would last forever and ever

There you'll stand, ten feet tall

I will say, "I knew it all along"

Your eyes wider than distance

This life is sweeter than fiction

There you'll stand, next to me

All at once, the rest is history

Your eyes wider than distance

This life is sweeter than fiction

Sweeter than fiction

Sweeter than fiction

Is sweeter, yeah

Is sweeter, is sweeter

Is sweeter than fiction
