Lyrics
Skinned Knees and Broken Hearts
I thought about the boy I was
But I grew up to fast and I lost that love
and there was a girl and I thought I knew
that she was the one but I lost her too
(Chorus)
take life as it comes
love life as it goes
your dreams will survive the scars
of all those skinned knees and broken hearts
Now I sense that boy from a long time ago
like an old friend found as I look back down the road
and I see a sign in that road up ahead
and when it's gone oh I'll remember what it said
(Chorus)
take life as it comes
love life as it goes
your dreams will survive the scars
of all those skinned knees and broken hearts
I remember my first dog and all my best friends
and a few other things that I thought would never end
but I guess I knew right from the start
they'd all come and go and end up in my heart
(Chorus)
take life as it comes
love life as it goes
your dreams will survive the scars
of all those skinned knees and broken hearts
love comes... love goes...
and you survive broken hearts...
life comes... life goes...
and you survive broken hearts...
skinned knees and broken hearts...
skinned knees and broken hearts...
yeah... you'll survive... you'll survive...
