Joni Was Right Songtext

von 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 realised my paradise was 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

Mmm mmm mmm mm

The cost of being wild and free
The endless possibilities
The open road in front of me
It's harder than I thought

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

Mmm, mm, mm
