Falling Flat

Where the sidewalk meets the grass
Is such a perfect place to stand
I can see the setting sun
And feel your fingers on my hand

But the magic is all gone now
Cause you're gone and far away
But I still watch the setting sun
And I live another day

Don't ask me why
I fight
With my own mind
To stay alive

But as I try
To survive
I'm falling flat on my face
It happens every day

But as I fight
With time
And my own mind
To stay alive

And as I try
To survive
I'm falling flat on my face
But yet I know that one day I will thrive

I stroll around the city streets
Wondering where I can go
But I get so overwhelmed
That I just wanna go home

The sun beats down on my body
And I'm burnin' up so fast
The sweat trickles down my face
But I can't wait to take a bath

There's so many nooks and crannies
In the sprawling metroplex
And there's tons of tall towers
Where the rich folks all have sex

Everybody's looking at me
Everything is closing in
I gotta take a couple hits
So that I don't panic again

Don't ask me why
I fight
With my own mind
To stay alive

But as I try
To survive
I'm falling flat on my face
It happens every day

But as I fight
With time
And my own mind
To stay alive

And as I try
To survive
I'm falling flat on my face
But yet I know that one day I will thrive
