Learning to Fall Gracefully

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] I haven’t got much sense of balance, I never had much time to sleep And a man who dances all the time can just wear out his feet I’ve been staggering around, trading places with the ground Yeah, ever since I can remember, I’ve been going up and down [Pre-Chorus] So if you wanna learn to fly, you gotta fall occasionally Just ask the birds up in the trees and they’ll agree [Chorus] I'm learning to fall I’m learning to fall [Post-Chorus] (What goes on, what goes on, what goes on) (Better go up, better break out, watch the world go ‘round and ‘round) [Verse 2] Well, forgive me if I fly away, my head’s up in the air And if you wanna keep me down, you’ll have to tie me to my chair Yeah, ever since I can remember, I’ve been flying around the room And when I fall and hit the ground, at least I’m singing my own tune [Pre-Chorus] So if you wanna learn to fly, you gotta fall occasionally Just ask the birds up in the trees and they’ll agree [Chorus] I’m learning to fall I’m learning to fall [Verse 3] I don’t believe in staying down, I don’t believe in gravity Do you believe a man can fly? Well, I believe that man is me I used to worry about falling every time I left the ground But now, I throw myself into the air, who cares if I fall down? [Pre-Chorus] So if you wanna learn to fly, you gotta fall occasionally Just ask the birds up in the trees and they’ll agree [Chorus] I’m learning to fall I’m learning to fall [Post-Chorus] (What goes on, what goes on, what goes on) (Better go up, better break out, watch the world go ‘round and ‘round) [Bridge] Gravity, let me be, let me be, you mean nothing to me (I don’t believe in staying down, I don’t believe in gravity) Gravity, let me be, let me be, you mean nothing to me (I don’t believe in staying down, I don’t believe in gravity) [Instrumental Break] [Outro] If it’s time to fly, you can come with me Or stay there on the ground, play things carefully But I can tell you now, I’d much rather be Somewhere in the air, falling- falling- Or if it’s time to fly, you can come with me Stay there on the ground, play things carefully But I can tell you now, I’d much rather be Somewhere in the air, falling gracefully (Higher, higher) (Higher, higher)
