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 no safety nets here 
One foot on the water to face these fears 
I'm coming out strong like I can't be wrong 
I said "hey, I won't fall in the middle" 

Twenty five here I am with freshman lp's 
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'm 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:Repeat x2]

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 

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 

[Chorus:Repeat x2]

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
