Funny how the best things in life never seem to stay
Funny that however hard I try it always ends the same
Funny how the sparkle in your eyes, you just washed away
Told you that the best things in life never seem to stay
But oh, don’t you cry
Don’t you call it quits and run away this time
The night is always darkest just before the day
And oh, you’ll be alright
You let it go and watch it come to life
Love only grows up taller when you let it slip away
I’ve been to the ocean and I’ve been up those Colorado hills
And come back down again watching the snow fall on the fields
And I would go back if I thought that there was love to fall into
But now I know that I always find myself running back to you
Seems like there’s a river running through you, I see it in your eyes
But if you keep on thinking about the past it’s never gonna dry
Funny how you give someone your heart and you make it out alive
Funny how it always ends the same however hard I try
But oh, you’ll be alright
You let it go and watch it come to life
Love only grows up taller when you let it slip away
I’ve been to the ocean and I’ve been up those Colorado hills
And come back down again watching the snow fall on the fields
And I would go back if I thought that there was love to fall into
But now I know that I always find myself running back to you
Oh, don’t you know
That love will take you where you’re gonna go
Maybe someday I’ll see you running, running back to me
Oh, don’t you see
That there’s more to living life that running free
And just because I’m going, doesn’t mean I’m gonna leave
I’ve been to Pennsylvania when all the green of summer had expired
But from my window I’ve seen autumn set the leaves on fire
And I would go back if I thought that there was love to fall into
But now I know that I always find myself running back to you
