Long Way Down

It's a long way down
And I can't afford
Another day late
Another dollar short
I'm lost then I'm found
Can't take it anymore
Ever since you let me down
I can never be sure

I lay in wait
I wish it was another way
I see it in my face, nearly ever other day
And I just aim to keep pace feeling halfway strange
Can't our souls be saved
On roads not yet paved
Pictures of us, fragmented fixtures rise up
And it's never enough
No substitute for full lips, for warm skin
For embraces, we race to wrap each other in
I think I might
You might be right
I might just give it a try

It's a long way down
And I can't afford
Another day late
Another dollar short
I'm lost then I'm found
Can't take it anymore
Ever since you let me down
I can never be sure

Well I guess I really shouldn't be surprised
She was, a villain in a victim's disguise
Fixing for a lick of that adrenaline high
That you get from tip tip tip toeing the borderline
Of course I was ignoring the signs
The whole sitch is sort of hard to describe
And I swear, well, she was such a rhythmic child
Said pick your poison and I'll pick mine
Cause there's facts and there's fiction
Abstract thought, and then there's
Wishful thinking
Things that happened and those that didn't
Like how there's sickness all around
If you look
But you don't
Cause you know that it's a long way down
Another matter of opinion
Another difficult decision, we've all got to make them and
I think I might
Well you might be right
I might just give it a try

It's a long way down
And I can't afford
Another day late
Another dollar short
I'm lost then I'm found
Can't take it anymore
Ever since you let me down
I can never be sure

It's a long way down
And I can't afford
Another day late
Another dollar short
I'm lost then I'm found
Can't take it anymore
Ever since you let me down
I can never be sure
