Lyrics Joni Was Right - Marit Larsen

Joni Was Right

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»
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 is 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»
The cost of being wild and free
The endless possibilities
The open road in front of me
It’s harder than I thought
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»
