lyrics

Should You Fall

Be a man, they said
Fix your tie and backpack straps
And keep on plowing through
Men don’t cry, she said
Your little boy tears are just fallacies
Dry them up before they stain you
Said you’d had enough, you hung up on me about a dozen times
You were tired of walking their tight rope, living on the edge of a knife
You asked me

Should I jump?
It doesn’t feel so hard, at least gravity’s a constant
Should I give up?
The other side doesn’t look so far
It could be better than the alternate
Take a breath, take a step
Feel the edge beneath your soles
Should I jump? Should I fall?
I said all I know is, if you do,
I’m going with you

I’m alright, he said
I’ll take the medicine and late nights
And the hospital beds
I’ll just write instead
Four A.M. is my companion, God knows I won’t get much rest
Then the days, they really got rough
You looked up from the floor at those stairs and cried
And if the tunnels edge is really alight
You were just so afraid you might be going blind
And you asked me

Should I jump?
It doesn’t feel so hard, at least gravity’s a constant
Should I give up?
The other side doesn’t look so far
It could be better than the alternate
Take a breath, take a step
Feel the edge beneath your soles
Should I jump? Should I fall?
I said all I know is, if you do,
I’m going with you

I am going with you

And it was 3 am on a Thursday and you just wouldn’t pick up
And I looked up at the ceiling, and asked will I ever be enough?
You felt the wind rip through your bones, it was dark and you were so alone
Screaming I’m gonna do it, tell me to do it,
But I won’t

Please don’t jump, if you want a constant
I swear you’ve got it, I’m right here
And should you fall
I will cushion every impact, because I still need you here
Take a breath, take a step
Feel my hands I won’t let go
Should you fall, should you break
I will do my best to fix you
Cause if you fall, I’m going with you
Please don’t jump
