Melissa O'Neil - When I Fall lyrics
Your rating:
I look straight in the window Try not to look below Pretend I'm not up here I try counting sheep The sheep seem to shower Off this office tower It's nine-point-eight straight down I can't stop my knees I wish I could fly From this building From this wall And if I should try Would you catch me if I fall? My hands clench the squeegee My secular rosary Hang on to your wallet Hang on to your rings I can't look below me Or something will throw me I curse at the windstorm That October brings I look straight in the boardroom A modern pharaoh's tomb I'd gladly swap places If they'd care to dive They're lined up at the window Peer down into limbo They're frighened of jumping In case they survive I wish I could step From this scaffold Onto soft green pastures Shopping malls Or bed With my family And my pastor And my grandfather Who's dead I look straight in the mirror Watch it come clearer I look like a painter Behind all the grease The painting's creating And I'm just erasing A crystal-clear canvas Is my masterpiece I wish I could fly From this building From this wall And if I should try Would you catch me If I fall? I wish I could fly From this building From this wall And if I should try Would you catch me If I fall? When I fall... When I fall... When I fall... When I fall...
