Joni Was Right

[Verse 1]:
I thought gardens were amusement parks
Spider webs were works of art
And war was just another game we played
Time just sent me off to bed
Love was just a word we said
I thought someone would always keep me safe
And that I might become an astronaut some day

[Chorus]:
But growing up is falling down and landing safely on the ground
Waking up in the dead of night
Thinking "oh my God
Joni was right"

[Verse 2]:
Between the downfalls and the deepest fears
Lessons learned the hardest ways
I hoped that there was something left to save
So I went back to try and find
The innocence I left behind
And realized my paradise is paved

[Chorus]:
But growing up is falling down and landing safely on the ground
Waking up in the dead of night
Thinking "oh my God
Joni was right"

[Bridge]:
The cost of being wild and free
The endless possibilities
The open road in front of me
It's harder than I thought

[Chorus]:
But growing up is falling down and landing safely on the ground
Waking up in the dead of night
Thinking "oh my God
Joni was right"
