I’m shaking down to my boots
I’ve loosened all those sturdy roots that kept me grounded
my knees are buckling
I try to take a step but I cannot feel my feet
and with your weight you suffocate
I cannot help but breathe you in
and with your size I’m paralyzed
I find myself–find myself falling

I’m falling, I’m falling into you

you were the wind that blew me down
you’ve clearly swept me off my feet
and in my state of vertigo I can’t look down
can’t feel the ground so will you catch me

I’m falling, I’m falling, I’m falling into you
I’m falling, I’m falling, I’m falling into you

and even if I try to fight you’ll just keep on reeling me in
nowhere to go I can’t escape
so I’ll just keep on falling

I’m falling, I’m falling, I’m falling into you
I’m falling, I’m falling, I’m falling into you
I’m falling, I’m falling, I’m falling into you
I’m falling, I’m falling, I’m falling into you

God bless the child
who can find their way home
God bless the child
who is weary in soul

Oh, beware
to take care of yourself
or you’ll lack the strength
to help somebody else

God bless the child
who is broken and bruised
God bless the child
who just wants to be good

Oh, beware
to take care of yourself
or you’ll lack the strength
to help somebody else

So take care, so take care
of yourself

Oh, beware
to take care of yourself
or you’ll lack the strength
to help somebody else

So take care, take care
of yourself

Did I bother you again?
Did I interrupt?
I only know how to pretend
With a small talk and such

Could you taste my nervousness?
Could you sense my fear?
My mouth feels dry and I confess
I don’t think that I’ve been clear

‘Cause I’m looking for love
I’m looking for love
I’m looking for love
And love, love, love
I thought it was you

I think I should apologize
‘Cause I have made a big mistake
I think I misunderstood
And there’s too much now at stake

‘Cause I’m looking for love
Yes, I’m looking for love
I’m looking for love
And love, love, love
I thought it was you

Yes, I’m looking for love
Yes, I’m looking for love
I’m looking for love
And love
I thought it was you
Yes love, I thought it was you
Love, I thought it was you

you’re just so good
my mind’s so full of the lies you’ve been feeding
and I ate them up like I needed them to survive

I drank your words
but my body’s been purged of their poison
that’s oozing throughout all of my veins
now I’m clean and sober again

and I’m over this childish need for attention
I’m over your constant threats of rejection
I’m over those eyes criticizing my every move
I’m over you

you were my disease
but I’m finally free of your septic affection
which has spread to my wounds
but they’ve already healed

’cause I’m over this childish need for attention
I’m over your futile attempts at redemption
I’m over those lips condescending the things I do

but your words are like honey
so sweet and so thick
but I’ve o.d.’ed on your sugar
now it’s all just making me sick

and I’m over this childish need for attention
I’m over your futile attempts at redemption
I’m over those lips condescending the things I do

and I’m over this childish need for attention
I’m over this constant threat of rejection
I’m over those eyes criticizing my every move
I’m over you

yeah, I’ll take the train, dear
and I’ll meet you there
I’ll cross oceans and deserts
as you fly into the air

yeah, I’ll take the train, dear
though you’d much rather fly
I’ll be speeding past the scenery
as you watch clouds float by

yeah, I don’t know why I’m afraid to fly
but I’m taking this train to your heart

yeah, I’ll take the bus, dear
passing through those little towns
it may take me some extra time, love
but these wheels won’t let me down

yeah, I don’t know why I’m afraid to fly
but I’m taking this Greyhound bus to your heart

yeah, I’ll take the boat, dear
oh it may take me days
I’ll be making my pilgrimage
gently riding on these waves

yeah, I don’t–I don’t know why
I’m afraid to fly
one thing I’m sure to know
is I’m taking this train or this bus or this boat to your heart
to your heart

If I build a wall
a hundred feet tall
would that keep you in?

If I shackled your feet
so you couldn’t leave
would you try and run?

If I promise not to fight
at least not tonight
would you stay the night?

If I wore that little dress
that you like the best
would you pass my test?

Would you stay?
Would you stay with me?

If I poured another drink
what would you think
about staying in?

If I was sincere
whispered my fears
would you still be here?

Would you stay?
Would you stay with me?
Would you stay?
Would you stay with me?
With me?

If I build a wall
a hundred feet tall
would that keep you in?

standing in my mother’s dress I feel her sweet caress
blowing through me like a storm from the east
whisper to me all your dreams
I’ll keep them safe here in the seams
somehow you have thought them out of reach

holding onto apron strings
it’s funny what nostalgia brings
I remember wanting to be just like you
though lines across your face appear
they represent you’re worried
don’t pick me up for I must learn to fall

but mother, mother do I make you proud
mother, mother, mother do I make you proud of me

all the strength that you possess
I feel it here inside this dress
I am myself because of who you are
I wonder where your spirit lies
but I see it clearly in your eyes
I am alive inside because of you

but mother, mother do I make you proud
mother, mother, mother do I make you proud of me

but mother, mother, mother do I make you proud
mother, mother, mother do I make you proud of me

oh I hope
mother, mother, mother I hope I make you proud of me
proud of me

I gave up coffee and cigarettes
I hate to say it hasn?t helped me yet
I thought my problems would just dissipate
And all my pain would be in yesterday

I poured my booze all down the kitchen drain
And watched my bad habits get flushed away
I thought that that would keep my head on straight
And all my pain would be in yesterday

But it?s true
I?m still blue
But I finally know what to do
I must quit, I must quit, you

I thought that if I didn?t go and play
The sadness would get bored and go away
I thought that if I didn?t go astray
That all my pain would be in yesterday

But it?s true
I?m still blue
But I finally know what to do
I must quit, I must quit, you

I sold my guitar and my piano
I thought that it was these that kept me low
I thought if only I could try and change
That all my pain would be in yesterday

But it?s true
I?m still blue
But I finally know what to do
I must quit, I must quit, you

I must quit, I must quit, you

I can’t leave the house
I can’t get out… of bed
I can’t stop the tears
From running down my face… again

I can’t move an inch
I can’t feel my legs… and feet
I can’t feel the rain
Running down my face… again

I can’t stop the pain
I can’t make the fever break
I can’t taste the sweat
Running down my face… again

Can you make it go away?

I can’t even scream
I can’t even let it out
I can’t see the blood
Running down my face… again

Can you make it go away?

Make it go away

you were drowning
and I picked you up and set you free
I was fading
and you breathed the life back into me
can I be sure this is what I’ve been looking for

’cause I’m dying to meet you
and I’m trying to reach you
as of yet we’ve not met
but I’m here waiting always for you

you were trembling
and I held your hand so close to me
and I was crying
and you whispered that you’d rescued me
I planned a day when I see you come my way

’cause I’m dying to meet you
and I’m trying to reach you
as of yet we’ve not met
but I’m here waiting always for you

I can’t wait to sleep so I can always see your face
and I hate to wake up ’cause you’re gone without a trace

can I be sure this is what I’ve been looking for

’cause I’m dying to meet you
and I’m trying to reach you
as of yet we’ve not met
but I’m here waiting always

yeah I’m dying to meet you
and I’m trying to reach you
as of yet we’ve not met
but I’m here waiting always for you
