All the Wine - Steady Ground lyrics

I remember every night we spent outside Hanging down from monkey bars for hours I can't even count how many times We fell asleep upside down And I swear that winter never came We stood higher than every city tower You were gonna leave this all behind And you asked me to run with you And I couldn't wait to take you all across the world Our contrails would weave tattoos across the sky But it was an endless summer parade That eventually took you away I always found you at the top of an iron bridge Staring down at the swells wild blue waves Thinking about money and fear and time You said it didn't look that far down But I swore, “We could handle nights like these Even if this winter never breaks.” We had gotten older now And I promised that we would stay balanced And I couldn't wait to take you all across the world Our contrails would weave tattoos across the sky My knuckles white on the steering wheel I followed all those highway signs Till I found you stepping over the guardrail… You stood at the edge of all the world And you asked me to jump with you And I saw you careening down from steady ground Because I chose stability instead
