I Fall Apart

I Fall Apart

I watch you float by me
You say that it's easy
Just put one foot
In front of the other
When I ask you about life
You smile and tell me
That it's not so bad
Just count the days
In your head
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...
You tell me to go
Step by step
Across the floor
Don't think too hard
Or you'll fall some more
Go step by step
Through your whole life
Count it out
1, 2, 3, 4, 5...
And now I'm standing here
At these crossroads
Can't skate around
The intersections roaring
With traffic and life
It's not as easy
As 1, 2, 3, 4...
Keep counting every breath
Don't stop to think about death
It catches up with us all
In the end
Step by step
And swing by swing
Make my way through life
Running and fighting
Flying through the empty sky
Just count every cloud
That passes you by
1, 2, 3...
Keep on going
Please don't slow down
My lungs can't give up now
My wings are falling to
Pieces
Hopes crashing to the ground
Spilling like rain drops
As you count down
The sounds
1, 2...
And I just want you to
know that
I'm standing here
Six feet from the edge
And I'm starting to think
That six feet
Isn't as far as we thought
1...
