The Study on Falling

In the morning when the smoke has cleared
We'll be waking up alone
And the story of how we ended here
Is the same old one we know

When everything is not enough
And all you know is playing rough
And we get going when it's tough
This study on falling

But still I'm holding you
But still I'm holding you
But still I'm holding you
You let go, and I'll let go too

And we're rolling through the aftermath
Of all the words that slid beneath the door
Yeah, we're falling to our usual path
Of all mistakes that we have lived before

When everything is not enough
And all you know is playing rough
And we get going when it's too tough
This study on falling

But still I'm holding you
But still I'm holding you
But still I'm holding you
You let go, and I'll let go too

And we're rolling through the afterglow
Of an implosion that had made no sound
And we're falling back to what we know
To land with both our knees upon the ground

When everything is not enough
And all you know is playing rough
And we get going when it's tough
This study on falling

But still I'm holding you
But still I'm holding you
But still I'm holding you
You let go, and I'll let go too
