Lyrics
I used to think life was an open road.
As I went further, somehow I'd know
all the things that would make some sense
of my transgressions and my lost innocence.
I used to worry time was moving too fast
and all that mattered was now in the past.
My heart was battered and my body scarred.
I didn't know I could fall so hard
Vs 2
I used to watch the water roll in.
Sit and wait for it to flow back again.
Like a river, like an ocean swell
I seemed to drift like I was someone else.
I used to wonder where love had gone.
I couldn't figure out where I belonged.
My heart was battered and my body scarred.
I didn't know I could fall so hard.
Chorus
Now I'm not pretending
it's our happy ending.
One lesson I needed to learn
True love can take time, - we got a slow burn.
