On the official booklet of *Brave Enough*, Stirling explained that every song represents a step *"a step that has taken me from being a heartbroken lost girl, wishing for bravery, to a woman who is ready to answer the call of something wild."*

About Don't Let This Feeling Fade, Stirling stated:

> *"If we are too focused on the destination, we miss the joy of the journey. We forfeit the beauty in making memories and building relationships. Running through life with tunnel vision may get us to our goods, but we will most likely get there alone. Celebrate the moments."*

## Lyrics

[Lecrae:]

What really matters in life?

Is it a sprint or a marathon?

And what if finish lines make us happy?

Or are we glad we can run at all?

Can't fall, when I'm sleep, I'm chasin' a dream

When I wake up and it's over, what did I gain?

Gain, turn it up, let me hear you live

Everybody tunes in just to hear you win

I'ma race to the finish line when I'm done

I'm worth more than a gold that I never won

One, one life, one love

Can't win 'em but lose all the above

[Rivers Cuomo:]

Don't let this feelin' fade

Lunge into the sky like a private plane

Hang on, we'll ride this wave

Watch the tide come in a little

Just a little more each day

Don't let this feelin' fade

Don't let this feelin'

Hang on, we'll ride this wave

Lunge into the sky like a private

Fly like a private plane

[Rivers Cuomo & Lecrae:]

Don't let this feelin'

D-d-don't let this feelin' fade

Turn it up, let me hear you live

Don't let this feelin'

Don't, don't let this feelin' fade

One life, one love

[Lecrae:]

Yeah, uh

What really matters in life?

Is it a sprint or a marathon?

And what if finish lines make us happy?

Or are we glad we can run at all?

I never do it to lose, but losin' occurs

And when I do it for the love, lose never hurts

Loose, loose grip on what I can't hold

Who you foolin' with a handful of fool's gold?

Lose, lose, when you do it for the wins only

Love gave you meaning, it never was a trophy

It never was a trophy

Yeah, enjoy the race, homie

[Rivers Cuomo:]

Don't let this feelin' fade

Lunge into the sky like a private plane

Hang on, we'll ride this wave

Watch the tide come in a little

Just a little more each day

Don't let this feelin' fade

Don't let this feelin'

Hang on, we'll ride this wave

Lunge into the sky like a private

Fly like a private plane

[Rivers Cuomo & Lecrae:]

Don't let this feelin'

D-d-don't let this feelin' fade

Turn it up, let me hear you live

Don't let this feelin'

Don't, don't let this feelin' fade

One life, one love
