Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fall below yet again
And youu0027re trying to hold on
But youu0027re starting to close down
We grow up young we grow up strong
And then get older
Enter a battle for a handle on your soul
Youu0027re getting colder
Youu0027re on the lee side, it feels like
Itu0027s slipping away
Now youu0027re asking the question
Was it all just imagined
Was it all in your head
Now too close to the edge
Oh everybody knows
Gravity will pull you to the floor
Gravity will pull you down
Oh everybody knows
Fly too high youu0027re surely going to fall
Just tell me that itu0027s not over
We grow up young we grow up strong
It's slipping away
You're on the lee side it feels like
It's slipping away
You got to hold on
You got to hold on
It's slipping away

When you walk on the waves
When you try to do the impossible
Fall below yet again
Fail yet again
And you're trying to hold on
You're trying to keep going
But you're starting to close down
You're losing hope
We grow up young we grow up strong
We start life with confidence
And then get older
But as we age, we face new challenges
Enter a battle for a handle on your soul
We face an internal struggle to find our place in the world
Then come the shadows and a fear
We are haunted by fear and doubt
You're getting colder
We're losing our vitality
You're on the lee side, it feels like
We're facing away from the warmth of life
It's slipping away
Life is slipping away from us
Now you're asking the question
We're wondering if we're on the right path
Was it all just imagined
We wonder if our dreams were just wishful thinking
Was it all in your head
We doubt the validity of our experiences
Now too close to the edge
We feel like we're about to fall off a cliff
Oh everybody knows
It's a universal truth
Gravity will pull you to the floor
Everything comes back down to earth
Gravity will pull you down
We can't escape the natural order of things
Fly too high you're surely going to fall
We can't get too ahead of ourselves
Just tell me that it's not over
We're looking for some hope
You got to hold on
We need to keep fighting
It's slipping away
We're still losing our grip on life
