Jack Antonoff - Sweeter Than Fiction lyrics

[Verse 1] Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground (oh, oh) Only sound, only sound that you hear is "no" You never saw it coming Except when you started running And now you come undone (I, I, I) Seen you fall, seen you crawl on you knees (eh, eh) Seen you lost in a crowd, seen you colors fade Wish I could make it better Someday you won't remember This pain you thought would last forever and ever [Chorus 1] There you stand, ten feet tall I will say, "I knew it all along" Your eyes are wider than distance This life is sweeter than fiction [Verse 2] Just a shot, just a shot in the dark (oh, oh) All you got, all you got are your shattered hopes They never saw it coming You hit the ground running And now you're on to something I, I, I say What a sight, what a sight when the light came on Put me right, threw me right when you put them front And in this perfect weather It's like we don't remember The rain we thought would last forever and ever [Chorus 2] There you stand, ten feet tall I will say, "I knew it all along" Your eyes are wider than distance This life is sweeter than fiction There you stand, next to me All at once, the rest is history Your eyes are wider than distance This life is sweeter than fiction, fiction [Bridge] I'll be one of the many saying Look at you now, look at you now, now I'll be one of the many saying You've made us proud, you've made us proud I'll be one of the many saying Look at you now, look at you now, now I'll be one of the many saying You've made us proud, you've made us proud, proud And when they call your name And they put your picture in a frame You know that I'll be there time and again Cause I loved you when When you hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh oh Only sound, only sound that you hear is "no" Now in this perfect weather It's like we don't remember The rain we thought would last forever and ever [Chorus 2]
