Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh, oh
Only sound, only sound, that Du hear is "no"
Du never saw it coming
Slipped when Du started running
And now you've come undone, and I, I, I, I

Seen Du fall, seen Du crawl, on your knees, eh, eh
Seen Du Lost in a crowd, seen your Farben fade
Wish I could make it better
Someday Du won't remember,
This pain Du thought would last forever and ever

[Chorus]
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 Du got, all Du got, are your shattered hopes
They never saw it coming
Du hit the ground running
And now you're on to something
I, I, I say

What a sight, what a sight, when the light came on
Proved me right, proved me right, when Du proved them wrong
And in this perfect weather
It's like we don't remember
The rain we thought would last forever and ever

[Chorus]
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, Weiter to me
All at once, the rest is history
Your eyes, wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction (fiction)

[Bridge]
I'll be one of the many saying
Look at Du now, look at Du now, now
I'll be one of the many saying
Du made us proud, Du made us proud, proud

I'll be one of the many saying
Look at Du now, look at Du now, now
I'll be one of the many saying
Du made us proud, Du made us proud, proud

And when they call your name
And they put your picture in a frame
Du know that I'll be there time and again
'Cause I loved Du when

When Du hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh oh
Only sound, only sound that Du 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)

[Chorus]
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, Weiter to me
All at once, the rest is history
Your eyes, wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction, fiction

Sweeter than fiction,
It's sweeter, yeah,
It's sweeter, it's sweeter,
Sweeter than fiction
