Sing with the chorus

  • Well, I've been afraid of changin'
  • 'Cause I've built my life around you
  • But time makes you bolder
  • Even children get older

Echo the hook

  • And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills
  • Well, the landslide bring it down
  • Oh-ohh, the landslide bring it down
