Lyrics

How do you take from that?
How do you find yourself free?
I wanted to take it back
You wanted nothing from me
I told you to copy that
Like a soldier, you came with your guns out
I was only a child in the street
And I’ll just have to cope with the thought now
That you’re happier without me
I wanted to say it out loud, but
Only a gasp came out when I tried it
You told me to find a way down, and
It took my whole damn life not to fear the fall
Not to fear the fall
Am I nothing at all?
Am I nothing at all?
You sent me a message
It wasn’t through the phone
You taught me how to think about it
And now it’s killing me to say that I’m home
So I’ll sit down and I’ll watch you from the highest point I can reach
And I’ll come back down and grovel about the successes I’m wishing happened to me
I wanted to say it out loud, but
Only a gasp came out when I tried it
You told me to find a way down, and
It took my whole damn life just to heed the call
My own free fall
Maybe I’ll end up alone
‘Cause I am nothing at all
So I’ll hurl myself to the concrete
Paint the city in the color I like
No fear, no man could have stopped me
Oh, how a desperate man wants to fly
And in a couple of months, you’ll forget me
So try not to think of me in the meantime
Oh, God, I just wanted to fly, I just wanted to fly, I just wanted to fly
I just wanted to fly
How do you learn from that?
How do you know that you’re free?
I just wanted to take it back
You were the essence of me for a while
But I just couldn’t copy that
I was right not to trust you with anything
But the dopamine hit was enough
I was wrong not to trust you to fail me
But I just wanted to call your bluff
I wanted to say it out loud, but
Only a gasp came out when I tried it
You told me to find a way down, and
It took my whole damn life, but I love the fall
I love the fall
I love the fall
I love the fall
I love the fall
I love the fall
‘Cause I am nothing at all
‘Cause I am nothing at all
‘Cause I am nothing at all
‘Cause I am nothing at all
