We All Die Trying To Get It Right

Think you're in control until you're not
And you're so in love until you're not
Find a place where we can be alone
Find a place where we can be ourselves
So aim high, and aim true
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
I'm falling
Like a feather falling past your cheek
Feel the breath of heaven on your face
And we all die trying to get it right
We're all gonna die trying to get it right
So aim high, and aim true
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
I'm falling
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
I'm falling
Aim true
Won't you aim true
Aim true
Won't you aim true
And you're so in love until you're not
Find a place where we can be alone
Find a place where we can be ourselves
So aim high, and aim true
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
I'm falling
Like a feather falling past your cheek
Feel the breath of heaven on your face
And we all die trying to get it right
We're all gonna die trying to get it right
So aim high, and aim true
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
I'm falling
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
I'm falling
Aim true
Won't you aim true
Aim true
Won't you aim true
Song facts
"There's this movie called Infamous, which is about Truman Capote writing In Cold Blood, and there's a character in it, a farmer who talks about the way life changes and he says that line, "We all die trying to get it right," and I wrote that down at the time and that's probably one of the few instances where I started with lyrics. I really wanted to put those lyrics into a song and, yeah, luckily I actually found a place." - Vance Joy
