A Day At The Fair Thankful
[Verse 1]
When we were kids, we said things when we said them
And what was said, we meant it
These days we rarely speak much at all
Wake up and come home
Fall asleep on the couch and wake up with the television on
When I was young, I was full of dreams and wonder
Without a dime to sleep under
These days I rarely sleep much at all
Grow up and grow old
We deal with what's dealt and you carry yourself
And wake up with the television on
Some say the best part's how it ends
When you look back on how the whole damn thing began
Let's start it all again
[Chorus]
I have made mistakes and I live with them
I'm okay 'cause I'll grow old with them
But the least of my problems are how quick I'll solve them
Somehow, somewhere, sometime
[Verse 2]
When I was young, I was dismal and enchanted
There were things I took for granted
These days I count the stars when I'm home
Alive in love
Where it's taken so long to right what I've wronged
And be proud of everything that I have done
There's those things that make me feel old now
It's the mirror in my parents' old house
When I see who I am now
[Chorus]
I've made mistakes and I live with them
I'm okay, I'll grow old with them
Let the least of my problems be how quick I'll solve them
Somehow, somewhere, sometime
[Bridge]
I never thought I'd love the way I used to
'Til the first day that I saw my daughter's smile
Thank you, angel
Haven't felt this alive in a while
If there's anything that I could ever teach you
It's to live those dreams you have and see them through
'Cause your best attempts at happiness
Are doing what you love the best
Know that I will always be with you
Reminding you
[Chorus]
You'll make mistakes and you'll live with them
It's okay, you'll grow old with them
Let the least of your problems be how quick you solve them
Somehow, sometime
And when faith is wearing thin
Reign it in and bring it home again
Stay true to each promise
Be strong and be honest
It's yours, your time is now
[Outro]
Every stepping stone I stubbed my toe on was worth it
Every time I failed, I knew that I knew I deserved it
Every time I woke up feeling nothing shy of worthless
I can look at you at night and everything is perfect
I can picture you when I'm walking along a shoreline
I'll swear forever 'cause forever is on your time
You'll get there somehow
Feet, don't fail me now
If I ever learned anything at all, it's to be thankful
It's to be thankful
