Story Behind the Song
... sort of autobiographical
Lyrics
Where Things Grow
The first time I said, I do,
I guess I didn't do so well.
But after all the hurt and anger
And all the words that didn't matter,
Now I'm a better man for it all.
CHORUS
Yeah, we all have our trials and frustrations;
We'd like to fly but we're stuck here below.
I guess we all want those mountaintop feelings,
But the valleys are where things grow.
The first time I took a drink,
I guess should have let it alone.
For all the lost and wasted weekends
And nearly drowning in the deep end,
It was a lesson I had to learn later on.
CHORUS
Well, the view may be great,
But the air is so thin;
And in that breathtaking state,
You just can't settle in.
CHORUS
