The Time It Takes To Fall

It's okay, you're not alone
You're on the luckiest star that's taken you far away
Did you know, that the rain in the yard has taken to going insane?
A little nuts...oh, a little lost.

She relates, she recoils
When she stands on her own, it takes her so far away
I didn't know that she was breaking my heart
She made it so warm and sweet
A little numb, oh, a little more.

I know the story's getting old
I know the time it takes to fall
Sometimes it's all you need
A kiss, a please, a wave goodbye
A dream, a drug, a kiss goodnight
Sometimes it's all you need
Ooo...ooo...ooo...ooo...ooo.

My head aches, I lay down
If I could only escape from the undertow that's pulling me down
I wake up, but Im waiting alone when I get to the end of the day
A little numb, a little late.

I can see, in the dark
You're so easy to trace, like a moth to the spark in your eyes
On my own, keeping time to a mem'ry that once was the beat of my heart
A little down, a little cold.
