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 tryin' to work this whole thing out
So how can you just sit there sleepin'
When your world's on fire and your chest is beatin'?
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
In this moment while you're breathin'
If the future leaves you needin'
Will you be the one who stayed
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
