When I was younger
I liked to spin and spin
I would get dizzy and fall
and I would laugh
because things were good
and life was kind
When I was a little older
I liked to follow my brother around
I would get tired and fall
because no matter how hard I tried
I couldn't keep up
but things were good
and life was kind
The day I became a teenager
I began to internalize
and I would get dizzy and fall
because I was different
things were not good
but life was still kind
When I was a little older
I made peace with my struggles
I got light headed and cried
God made me different
but things were good
and life was kind
When I became an adult
I met my first love
We would kiss and I would fall
because I knew he would catch me
things were very good
and life was kind
When I was a little older
I made too many mistakes
I was so sorry but I didn't fall
because I had ruined his life
and mine
and there's nothing to be done
things got really bad
and life was not kind
Now the days go by
but things are different now
and when I think about it all
I get dizzy and I do fall
because not a day goes by
that I don't think of you
and how sorry I am
for the idiot I was
but life goes on
there's not too much I can do
the little that could
was done
and we've moved on
The day I'm a little older
I'm sure I will see you that day
and I will probably get dizzy and fall
but I hope enough time has passed
where we are able to smile
because things are good
and life is once again kind
