Watch Me Fall

Fell down
When I was young
Held down
Where I belong

Couldn’t get back up
Wasn’t strong enough

Then a voice
Then a shadow
Cold blood in the
Mud and the gravel

Held my tongue
I was wrong
Didn’t know any better
Any better

I walk home in silence
Thinking of a better way
To interpret what I saw today
Life falls in funny ways
I never planned to see
But if you plant the seed
You just might reap
If you’re patient
But I can’t wait
But I know through
The heart ache
The glass breaks
The nightmares
The earthquakes
It all takes
A want to succeed
The need to leap
Fearing what awaits me

Watch me fall head first
It’s all or nothin’
All or nothin’

Watch me fall head first
It’s all for somethin’
All for somethin’

Fell down
But this was new
Caught myself
Before the bruise

Tried to get back up
I was strong enough

Heard a voice
In the breeze
Cold skin, blood thin
Runnin’ deep

Now my turn
I have learned
That I’m only better
Only better

Honest, the ups and the downs
Prevented the drowning
But counting the times
I felt I was sinking
Thinking everything was fine, just Kick Me
Bold writing on my back just Kick Me

This one’s for me

But I won’t stay down
Where I don’t belong

Feel it, I take the leap

Watch me fall head first
It’s all or nothin’
All or nothin’

Watch me fall head first
It’s all for somethin’
All for somethin’
