Sweeter Than Fiction

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

Seen you fall, seen you crawl on your knees, eh, eh
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

There you'll stand, 10 feet tall
I will say, "I knew it all along"
Your eyes are 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 onto something, I, I, I say

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, 10 feet tall
I will say, "I knew it all along"
Your eyes are wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction (sweeter than fiction)

There you'll stand, next to me (next to me)
All at once, the rest is history (ooh)
Your eyes are 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 (forever)

There you'll stand, 10 feet tall (10 feet tall)
I will say, "I knew it all along"
Your eyes are wider than distance (knew it all along)
This life is sweeter than fiction (sweeter than fiction)

There you'll stand, next to me (next to me)
All at once, the rest is history (ooh)
Your eyes are wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction (sweeter than fiction)

It's sweeter than fiction
It's sweeter, yeah
Is sweeter, is sweeter
Sweeter than fiction
