Chapters (feat. Gavin DeGraw)

In chapter one, I was raised on the Dodgers

Every boy wants to be like his father

In Little League, when he was coachin' me

I was hangin' on every word

Sundays, he's the one who would lead us

Taught me everything I know about Jesus

Front row, he's on a roll, and I'm hangin' on every word

It sounds nice, doesn't it?

I wish that I knew back then

There's no perfect in life, you can't hold back time

But you hold on tight, hopin' you might find

Every page you turn is a lesson learned

Ain't we all, ain't we all just tryna get it right?

These are the chapters of my life

Phase two, overwhelmed by attention

Everybody expectin' perfection

Throw a ball, then you'll have it all

Best thing I ever heard

Things change in the blink of an eyelid

Guess my body knew way more than I did

Doc said, "You'll never play again"

Worst thing I ever heard

It sounds rough, doesn't it?

I wish I knew back then

There's no perfect in life, you can't hold back time

But you hold on tight, hoping you might find

Every page you turn is a lesson learned

Ain't we all, ain't we all just tryna get it right?

These are the chapters of my life

The chapters of my life

Truth is that we all got stories

Gotta fail on your way to glory

Takes time tryna get it right

But every future has a past

And right now I can hear God laughin'

Guess he must have heard my plans

And my hopes, thought it was a joke

Gave me more than I could ask

And I wish I knew back then, oh

There's no perfect in life

You can't hold back time (Hold back time)

But you hold on tight (But you hold on tight)

Hoping you might find

Every page you turn (Every page you turn)

Is a lesson learned

Ain't we all, ain't we all just tryna get it right?

These are the chapters of my life

The chapters of my life

The chapters of my life

The chapters of my life

Ooh, my life (The chapters of my life)
