When I Fall

VERSE 1:
Hold back, turn around,
I gotta lock it up, can’t make a sound.
I’m trying to close my eyes to the things I found,
pretend I’m not going to the place I’m bound.

CHORUS:
I’m gonna climb back up and stand upon this wall.
I’m gonna jump and hope you catch me when I fall.

VERSE 2:
Full mouth swollen up with lies,
I try to hide the sadness behind my eyes.
I’m gonna tiptoe, teeter on the brink,
and try to hide myself from the thoughts I think.

CHORUS:
I’m gonna climb back up and stand upon this wall.
I’m gonna jump and hope you catch me when I fall.

VERSE 3:
Picking up all the tattered, frayed pieces
of the quilt on the bed I made.
I’m running far and fast from the things that stand for all the
elusive parlor tricks and sleight-of-hand.

CHORUS:
I’m gonna climb back up and stand upon this wall.
I’m gonna jump and hope you catch me when I fall.

VERSE 4:
Scream and shout, gonna make a scene,
gonna tell it to the world.  Gonna show them what I mean.
Sobbing on the shoulder of the one who turned me out,
crying: “I don’t even care if all my problems kill me now!”

CHORUS:
I’m gonna climb back up and stand upon this wall.
I’m gonna jump and hope you catch me when I fall.
