[Part I: Sweeter Than Fiction]

[Verse 1]
Hit the ground, hit the ground, hit the ground, oh, oh
Only sound, only sound that you hear is, "No"
You never saw it comin', slipped when you started runnin'
And now you've come undone and I, I, I, I

[Pre-Chorus]
Seen you fall, seen you crawl on your knees, eh, ayy
Seen you lost in a crowd, seen your colors fade
Wish I could make it better, someday, you won't remember
This pain you thought would last forever and ever and

[Chorus]
There you'll stand, ten feet tall
I will say, "I knew it all along"
Your eyes, wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction

[Verse 2]
Just a shot, just a shot in the dark, oh, oh
All you got, all you got are your shattered hopes
They nevеr saw it comin', you hit the ground runnin'
And now you're on to somethin', I, I, I say

[Pre-Chorus]
"What a sight, what a sight" whеn the light came on
Proved me right, proved me right when you proved them wrong
And, in this perfect weather, it's like we don't remember
The rain we thought would last forever and ever

[Chorus]
And there you'll stand, ten feet tall
I will say, "I knew it all along"
Your eyes, wider than distance
This life is sweeter than fiction

[Part II: Holy Ground]

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ayy, ooh-ayy, ooh-ayy, oh-woah
Ooh-ayy, ooh-ayy, ooh-ayy, oh-woah

[Verse 1]
I was reminiscing just the other day
While havin' coffee all alone and, Lord, it took me away
Back to a first-glance feelin' on New York time
Back when you fit my poems like a perfect rhyme
Took off faster than a green light, go
Yeah, you skip the conversation when you already know
I left a note on the door with a joke we'd made
And that was the first day

[Chorus]
And darlin', it was good
Never lookin' down
And right there where we stood
Was holy ground

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ayy, ooh-ayy, ooh-ayy, oh-woah
Ooh-ayy, ooh-ayy, ooh-ayy, oh-woah

[Bridge]
Tonight, I'm gonna dance
For all that we've been through
But I don't wanna dance
If I'm not dancin' with you
Tonight, I'm gonna dance
Like you were in this room
But I don't wanna dance
If I'm not dancin' with you

[Part III: Sweeter Than Fiction]

[Bridge]
I'll be one of the many sayin'
"Look at you now, look at you now and now"
I'll be one of the many saying
"You've made us proud, you've made us proud, proud"
I'll be one of the many sayin'
"Look at you now, look at you now and now"
I'll be one of the many sayin'
"You've made us proud, you've made us proud, proud"
And when they call your name
And they put your picture in a frame
You know that I'll be there time and again
'Cause I loved you when

[Part IV: Holy Ground]

[Chorus]
Darlin', it was good
Never lookin' down
And right there where we stood
Was holy ground
Was holy ground

[Part III: Sweeter Than Fiction / Holy Ground]

[Outro]
This life is sweeter than fiction
Holy Ground
This life is sweeter than fiction
