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

[chorus]

I meant it all and every part
And every word right from the start
I´ll never let this love fall in the middle

Through it all
