I am bending made of steel
And I am stumbling towards something real
How can you forget this feeling?
Of standing straight while the world is reeling
Don't leave me here alone
You're as close as it gets to home

Don't look down
You might fall
Life made rookies of us all
In our finest year

Don't wait up
We'll be fine
Somehow we might get it right
In our finest year

I am hopeful full of doubt
And I am trying to work this whole thing out
So how can you just sit there sleeping?
When your world's on fire and your chest is beating
And I want to think you feel the same

Don't look down
You might fall
Life made rookies of us all
In our finest year

Don't wait up
We'll be fine
Somehow we might get it right
In our finest year

And this moment
While you're breathing
If the future leaves you needing
Will you be the one who stays?
As your life just slips away

Don't leave me here alone
You're as close as it gets to home

I'll be there
If you fall
Love made suckers of us all

Don't look down
You might fall
Life made rookies of us all
In our finest year

Don't wait up
We'll be fine
Somehow we might get it right
In our finest year
