Taking a Fall

Every year, we say the same thing Maybe this will be the one Where we start to close the gap between us And our dreams out on the run Yeah, you never see it coming When it's dressed up in disguise Until you look into the rearview And you start to realize If all of the stars burn out and darkness Swallows up everything at once If all of our best days are behind us Or only the best is yet to come I'll pray that our years will be forgiving Whenever we break before we bend Knowing the pieces that are broken All come together in the end And land where you are I'm learning to fly By taking a fall Every year, it goes the same way Another round of resolutions Fragile hopes and future paydays Chalk it up to illusions I don't wanna kiss you 'cause it's midnight I wanna kiss you just because Don't need a roadmap for our whole lives Love only is where we are If all of the stars burn out and darkness Swallows up everything at once If all of our best days are behind us Or only the best is yet to come I'll pray that our years will be forgiving Whenever we break before we bend Knowing the pieces that are broken All come together in the end And land where you are Learning to fly By taking a fall And the lighter they threw into the flame In the way that only you can say my name I'm learning to fly By taking a fall And the tears that stain the leather on the couch And the prayers for one, more breath to make it out I'm learning to fly By taking a fall Learning to fly
