I felt the flames on my face
|
When I found the nerve to meet your eyes, so green
|
I stumbled towards your elegance
|
I tumbled, wide awake into a dream
|
|
And there you stood, so beautiful
|
Destiny seduces, after all
|
I fell into the fire
|
That's a long way to fall
|
|
You gave me strength to speak
|
When my voice was weak and words were hard to find
|
Your faith in me was solid and
|
it stood me up when I couldn't steady mine
|
All those times I cried at night
|
You promised me it'd be all right
|
You held me while my demons danced and crawled
|
I fell into your open arms
|
That's a long way to fall
|
|
A long way to fall
|
A long way to fall
|
|
I never should have drifted
|
I never should have left you all alone
|
I don't know what comes over me
|
Looks like I'll always be
|
the troubled kid that runs away from home
|
I reached for you the other night
|
You rolled away and moved against the wall
|
I fell into the space between us
|
That's a long way to fall
|
|
A long way to fall
|
A long way to fall
|
|
I got no one to hold on to and
|
I'm sinking slowly to my knees
|
I might learn to pray down here
|
or maybe I'll beg you baby, please
|
But you stare at me with marble eyes
|
And I don't think I've ever felt this small
|
I've fallen out of your good graces
|
That's a long way to fall
|
|
A long way to fall, A long way to fall
|
