The Fall
I know it's hard for you to try and guess everything I'm thinking
Is that what you're thinking?
Can I make it youthfully tragic, enigmatic?
While I'm clinging onto the thought that it can't beat me
But it nearly beat me
And my chest grows tight, when I know that I
I think I've felt this fall before
It's sticking harder than I'd thought
I'll call my friends, and let them down
And change my name, and leave my town
Then go get help, but lie about it all
Til you see the signs of the fall
I guess I'm still that kid with all her fears
I thought coming of age would come with a bit more patience
I didn't know if I'd make it
Do I rely on the medication? Internet sensations?
Dopamine-dependent temporary vacations from everything that I'm faking
And my chest grows tight, when I know that I
I think I've felt this fall before
It's sticking harder than I'd thought
I'll call my friends, and let them down
And change my name, and leave my town
Then go get help, but lie about it all
Til you see the signs of the fall
Has my ego become too bruised finding something to live and die for?
Know that I've still got more to prove
But there's too much to care and fight for
And my chest grows tight, when I know that I
I think I've felt this fall before
It's sticking harder than I'd thought
I'll call my friends and let them down
And change my name, and leave my town
Then go get help, but lie about the reasons why I don't come out
I'm scared to love and I'm scared to lose
And I'm scared of ageing for both me and you
And I'm all choked up, have I said too much?
Did I roam too far?
Will you pick me up?
Is that what you're thinking?
Can I make it youthfully tragic, enigmatic?
While I'm clinging onto the thought that it can't beat me
But it nearly beat me
And my chest grows tight, when I know that I
I think I've felt this fall before
It's sticking harder than I'd thought
I'll call my friends, and let them down
And change my name, and leave my town
Then go get help, but lie about it all
Til you see the signs of the fall
I guess I'm still that kid with all her fears
I thought coming of age would come with a bit more patience
I didn't know if I'd make it
Do I rely on the medication? Internet sensations?
Dopamine-dependent temporary vacations from everything that I'm faking
And my chest grows tight, when I know that I
I think I've felt this fall before
It's sticking harder than I'd thought
I'll call my friends, and let them down
And change my name, and leave my town
Then go get help, but lie about it all
Til you see the signs of the fall
Has my ego become too bruised finding something to live and die for?
Know that I've still got more to prove
But there's too much to care and fight for
And my chest grows tight, when I know that I
I think I've felt this fall before
It's sticking harder than I'd thought
I'll call my friends and let them down
And change my name, and leave my town
Then go get help, but lie about the reasons why I don't come out
I'm scared to love and I'm scared to lose
And I'm scared of ageing for both me and you
And I'm all choked up, have I said too much?
Did I roam too far?
Will you pick me up?
