Joni Was Right

verse 1: I thought gardens were amusement parks Spider webs were works of art And war was just another game we played Time just sent me off to bed Love was just a word we said I thought someone would always keep me safe And that I might become an astronaut some day But growing up is falling down and landing safely on the ground Waking up in the dead of night Thinking "oh my God Joni was right" verse 2: Between the downfalls and the deepest fears Lessons learned the hardest ways I hoped that there was something left to save So I went back to try and find The innocence I left behind And realized my paradise was paved But growing up is falling down and landing safely on the ground Waking up in the dead of night Thinking "oh my God Joni was right" Bridge: The cost of being wild and free The endless possibilities The open road in front of me It's harder than I thought it'd be But growing up is falling down and landing safely on the ground Waking up in the dead of night Thinking "oh my God Joni was right"
