Nickel Creek - When You Come Back Down Lyrics






You got to leave me now, you got to go alone
You got to chase a dream, one that's all your own
Before it slips away
When you're flyin' high, take my heart along
I'll be the harmony to every lonely song
That you learn to play

When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down

I'll keep lookin' up, awaitin' your return
My greatest fear will be that you will crash and burn
And I won't feel your fire
I'll be the other hand that always holds the line
Connectin' in between your sweet heart and mine
I'm strung out on that wire

And I'll be on the other end, To hear you when you call
Angel, you were born to fly, If you get too high
I'll catch you when you fall
I'll catch you when you fall

[Bridge:]
Your memory's the sunshine every new day brings
I know the sky is calling
Angel, let me help you with your wings

When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare

I'll still be there
When you come back down
Take every chance you dare,
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When you come back down

    Played this song the day I buried my baby boy in 2001. Still kills me. But I listen to it from time to time. Never to forget. I love you Hunter Paul.

  5. W.... A....

    We are a rock band and this song & album quickly became one of our favorites and ended up inspiring our next album... cheers to this timeless gem.

  6. M.... ....

    Not gonna lie, I clicked on this link thinking it was going to be a Nickelback parody. I was vastly disappointed.

    @Wiliam Banquiter I,'ve been a Tim O"brian fan since Hot Rize and can,t remember the source. Mention is made on Songfacts . I don,t believe the song is about Bill Monroe but Tim and Danny finished the incomplete song the day Bill died fueled by the emotions they had

    This was always my song to my hs graduation senior. Now its the song to my eldest sister, moving on after the death of her husband.

  18. Z.... W....

    When my daughter graduated from High School in 2004, I remember writing some of the lyrics from this song into her Graduation card. The last few months she had been having some mental difficulties. Little did we know she was slowly being swallowed up by schizophrenia. College was cancelled and she spent the next year mostly in bed, sleeping. Eventually she was diagnosed and she's on the right meds now, and she's a beautiful person, in a relatively happy place. But she had wanted to be a doctor. Instead she helps to stuff envelopes at a charity organization she works for. It makes me sad that all her dreams were stripped away, but happy that we still have her. She still "crashes" every once in awhile, and I try to catch her when she falls. Love you sweetie!

    N.... B....

    Nancy B this is the sweetest thing I’ve heard anyone ever say😊😊😊

    N.... B....

    God bless your Mothers heart. Your love for your daughter breaks me. Praying for your sweet girl.

  22. J.... G....

    This brings me to tears.

  23. L.... B....

    ❤️❤️❤️

  24. R.... K....

    John Hague has said exactly what the truth is! Anyone who doesn't like it is definitely not cool but scared of the truth. Boldness of the🕊 God we serve in our lives is the ticket to our very own restoration in our end.🦅

  25. l.... ....

    My friend Sis opened my eyes to this song. It stretches out through the years since her passing to now. Makes me think of her and my lost boy. I’ll catch you when you fall.

  26. G.... H....

    Just heard of them and this song for the first time. What a sound! And a song.

  31. J.... C....

    Ten years later. <3

  32. G.... T....

    I always imagine this song sung by Allison Krauss.

  33. o.... K....

    I wish my sister would see this. And remember that we used to listen to this together.. Our relationship has been broken many times over the years. Want to go back when we were good friends.

  34. S.... H....

    This song always hits me like a ton of bricks. All my kids mean the world to me and no matter what they do I'll always be here for them.

  35. B.... M....

    Love this song!❤️❤️❤️

  36. C.... M....

    This song deserves so much recognition

    The Watkins siblings are awesome.....

    Always gonna be one of the most powerful songs ever composed.

  40. B.... K....

    I absolutely love this song. This brings up a lot of emotion from a time in my life when I was struggling with addiction and depression.

  41. S.... M....

    Unconditional Love...❤️

  48. K.... S....

    💕💕 💕 Best album I ever bought 💕 💕 💕

  49. T.... W....

    Please tell me , if you can, where does such wonderful talent come from? To write lyrics so beautiful as this as well as the rich , full harmonies of voices and instruments in a seamless blend ?
    Could it be there really is God and that He loves us so ?

    T.... W....

    Timothy Wade talent like this comes from god

  50. H.... ....

    258 dislikes? WHY?

    H.... ....

    Eyes think people might of thought this was a video about an actual nickel creek?

  51. A.... W....

    Been chasing my dream for years but it’s not shown any sign of being a reality. “Angel let me help you with your wings” I like. Still being really here would be better than there in a dream! My feet are on the ground and not going anywhere without you

  52. J.... C....

    the hawk no friends er an eagle he defends
    Fawn is in the meadow
    to be continued.........

  53. A.... B....

    This song mystically speaks to all of us.

  54. B.... S....

    Wrecking ball

  55. F.... J....

    Many years later, still my favorite song.

  56. B.... R....

    So sorry for your loss. My best friend and I are veterans. She passed away in 2016. This was her song to me, because I'm a restless butterfly

  57. T.... W....

    An excellent blend of voices and instruments in harmony. Well written and great delivery. Had my heart and my attention from the very first note

  58. R.... M....

    Man, I consider myself honored to listen to this song, it is so gentle and perfect that I find myself paused, drinking in the pleasure. Thx Nickel Creek/Thx Youtube. the Radman

  59. J.... R....

    Beautiful

  60. B.... B....

    Damn... I honestly can't listen to this song while looking at my kids with dry eyes. Great, great work.

  61. J.... T....

    Love this song

  62. S.... R....

    This was my 'song' for my oldest daughter when she was in high school... .we danced to it at her wedding! :-) Perfection!

  63. �.... ....

    왜 음원사이트에 없는겨
    너무좋다 정말

  64. J.... B....

    I was djing in my hometown when they debuted. I always liked em

  65. e.... h....

    I would sing this to my infant every night and my two older daughter's before bed

  66. J.... C....

    I only just now thought to look to see what if any video you all have on YouTube.... I know the video's I have come up with in my mind for your songs. I love them all some of them just a little more. I had my daughter singing the song about the fox when she was very little. I just love your work. Thank you for blessing us with the gift you have been given.

  67. B.... J....

    Lifelong fan of Nickel Creek -- but I can't get over those tinted glasses at 1:57.

  68. ..... n....

    Why isn't this song on Spotify anymore? 😢

    ..... n....

    I contacted them asking about it but they never responded

    ..... n....

    I know!! I’m upset about it too

    ..... n....

    same here, is looks like it was removed from the album. Used to have it in one of my spotify playlists.

    ..... n....

    Spotify needs to fix their sh!t This song was the only song removed from their album. Why? I loved Spotify, but the removal of this song makes no sense. Spotify needs to get their act together. If they won’t sponsor the songs then it becomes the bands fault. People like music. Make it available somewhere and you will make $$$.

  69. E.... U....

    i really wish they made a new video for this song

  70. A.... G....

    My all time favorite of theirs! Excellent song!

  71. J.... T....

    I wasnt ready, they werent ready, and I didnt know that the hate that they had been fed was sinking into their soles and teaching them that their childhoods were lacking in anyway whatsoever. I hope they gain enough experience in life to appreciate the love and care that only I had for them. I would have thrown myself in front of a bus to give them every chance at life my parents gave me regardless of my means to provide it. Sad that a constant barade of negative words and comments in such a childish and thoughtless nature could warp the brains of the 3 girls I had dedicated my entire existance to. I always believed they were more perceptive than that, but they were only children. Easy targets for the wicked to penetrate with promises of a life free from restrictions. Do they still not realize that I just wanted to protect them?

  72. M.... V....

    I love this song and I’m your guys #1 fan and we are learning about you guys in music class and I’ve seen all your videos you guys are sooooooo cool

  73. D.... K....

    I'm going to play this song for my girl when she graduates high school... In about 10 yrs.... Great song...

  74. J.... B....

    Heard this when I was 10 years old and still love this song. I’m 27 now.

  75. D.... C....

    Have to say... my dad passed 8 yrs ago and he loved these songs, so now nickel creek is a part of memories from my dad. He use to say”Dani you look like her!” And we watch the videos together. ❤️

  76. A.... M....

    Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CjOAEmERyA

  77. L.... M....

    The lead singer looks like Malcolm's older brother Francis.

  78. M.... R....

    Anybody listening to this crazy unique band in 2017?

    M.... R....

    No. Absolute nobody is listening to them. Not a single person, including me. I just commented instead of watching and listening to the video.

    ...sorry. I listen to this band because it reminds me that there is truly beautiful, authentic country music out there...it’s just mostly from the past. Well, this is more a fusion country/folk/bluegrass and even pop, but it all adds up to a country feeling IMO. This is what I listen to when I want that type of music, among some other older bands/artists like Townes Van Zandt. The popular country of the last 20 years offends my eardrums. I won’t subject them to the garbage that’s called country these days, but is really just like Top 40 pop but with a weak banjo, maybe a steel guitar, and of course HEAVY southern accents.

  80. B.... T....

    such as a beautiful song

  81. D.... L....

    I post this song for my adult children all the time. They live all over this place... One with my grandchildren.. Bein a mom. Another in the army. And another who chosee to just sort of be... The prodical son. It means so much to be able to say this when they go thru triumphs. .but when its heartbreak and and Im at a loss of words and so far away. This is their lullyby. Music. Iur soundtracks for sure.

  82. K.... J....

    this brings back a lot of memories.

  83. C.... M....

    My family has always been huge fans of country & bluegrass music. I found Nickel Creek & introduced my family to them. My small family fell in love instantly. Almost a year ago, my cousin committed suicide & this song was played at his funeral. I lost it....Miss you Rob!

  84. P.... N....

    I love this song so much. Always have

  85. A.... C....

    Another great California band. Making my beautiful state proud.

  86. W.... C....

    Always thought this was their best song.

  87. C.... ....

    I had this CD when I was 12 and listened to it relentlessly. They weren't popular back then, and this sort of music scene hadn't exploded into what it is currently. It's so funny that they have so many followers now!

  88. C.... M....

    one of the most beautiful songs ever written. As if angels wove it from clouds

  89. B.... M....

    I love Chris Thile.

  90. S.... C....

    just love this song. ..it's never aged

  91. m.... j....

    Simply astonishing and so sweet :)

  92. L.... L....

    I love these children

  93. j.... ....

    Im so happy Chris is taking up the mantel...I thought id never want to hear anyone but Garrison, but he has won me over. He is so dear and charming. And so gracious! Just watched his 30 min Bach...unreal.

  94. G.... G....

    Miss you daddy love this song it's so sad and true

  95. b.... v....

    Beautiful melodies and harmonies. Well done

  96. m.... a....

    I'm reading the comments as the song plays in the background and I can feel the emotion of those of you who lost someone or how this song has helped you through a tough time in your life. I can't help but try and attach a feeling, emotion or a trying time to this song. the song just feels so right.
