More songs by Nicky Youre
Description
There's a moment in life when you fall flat on your face on the asphalt - and it's not even dramatic, just kind of mundane. You wipe your knees, search for your keys in your pocket, and try to remember where you parked. And now he's no longer a hero, not a rock star, just a person who knows how to keep going, even if there's dust on his boots and a bartender's blender whirring in his soul. The song is about how you stop being afraid of losing. When instead of a tragedy, there's a light chuckle: yeah, he fell again, so what? The world hasn't collapsed, the sun is still shining brazenly, and a new verse is running through my head about how you'll get through it anyway. Because, ultimately, life is just an endless series of failures set to a good tune. And you dance more confidently each time.

Lyrics and translation
Original
Thought I was the man, I was ten feet tall. A real life one-hit wonder wall.
You think you got it all till you don't, but you keep on going.
I played it real big and I showed my hand, but life has a funny way of changing plans. You think you got it made till you're broke, but you keep on going.
Don't know what's around the bend. I'm throwing out my common sense.
Jesus, take the wheel.
-We are, we are.
-What's the big deal if I fall on my face?
I've been there before on the floor and I'm sure it'll happen again.
What's the big deal if I'm losing my faith?
I lost my keys at the bar, but I still get back to my place.
If I knew then what I know now, I'd spend a little less time stressing out.
You think you got it all till you don't, so you keep on going.
If all my rights turn into wrongs and all my wrongs turn into songs, I'd tell every last person that I know to keep on going.
What's the big deal if I fall on my face?
I've been there before on the floor and I'm sure it'll happen again.
What's the big deal if I'm losing my faith?
I lost my keys at the bar, but I still get back to my place.
We're all gonna live, we're all gonna die.
We're all gonna laugh, we're all gonna cry. It's the good and the bad, a roll of the dice.
So hey, what's the big deal?
