Joni Was Right - Marit Larsen

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»
