Remember how we used to be
So happy, just naturally
Now you don't know me like I know you
This isn't what we had planned
Sticking our heads into the sand
You can't just sit there
Pretending to be unaware
But you've gotta get stronger
Before it's ok
You've gotta get deeper
Before it stays
You've gotta get wiser
To make a new day
So I won't turn you away
You're frozen in my history
When you can make it new for me
You made it colder
My autumn soldier
No one else can take the blame
Now we don't have to stay the same
The time we spent together
No one can take away
But you've gotta work harder
Before it's ok
You've gotta get higher
To make a new day
You've gotta be a fighter
Before it stays
So I won't turn you away
Where can we go
If we don't grow
We won't get stronger
And though the river knows
See it flow
I can't wait any longer
But you've gotta get higher
To make a new day
You've gotta get closer
Before love fades
We've gotta get stronger
Before it's ok
So I won't turn you away
Before the love fades
You've gotta get stronger
So I won't turn you away
