The Fall – half•alive

These words are supposed to be simple
But it seems that’s not the case
This page is staring back at me
I’m afraid to put a mark on its face

Oh, I’m just trying to introduce you
To this idea that I’ve grown used to
It’s like sharing a dream with someone
Once you say it out loud it can’t be undone

I jump off and into your arms
But I can’t trust the fall
Take my voice, I’m giving it though
I don’t feel safe at all
(I can’t trust the fall)

It’s like waking up in surgery
I can’t seem to see right past the lights and I’m
So scared to take a knife to my chest
Let you see the heart that’s inside

Oh, I’m just trying to introduce you
To this idea that I’ve grown used to
It’s like sharing a dream with someone
Once you say it out loud it can’t be undone
Once you say it out loud it can’t be undone
(I can’t trust the fall)

I jump off and into your arms
But I can’t trust the fall
Take my voice, I’m giving it though
I don’t feel safe at all
I jump off and into your arms
But I can’t trust the fall
Take my voice, I’m giving it though
I don’t feel safe at all

(I can’t trust the fall
I can’t trust the fall
It’s like sharing a dream with someone
Once you say it out loud it can’t be undone
I can’t trust the fall)

(I can’t trust the fall)
I jump off and into your arms
But I can’t trust the fall
(I can’t trust the fall)
Take my voice, I’m giving it though
I don’t feel safe at all
(Don’t feel safe at all)
I jump off and into your arms
But I can’t trust the fall
Take my voice, I’m giving it though
(I can’t trust the fall)
I don’t feel safe at all

It’s like sharing a dream with someone
Once you say it out loud it can’t be undone
I can’t trust the fall
