Talking Like I'm Falling Down Stairs

Tongue - tied
Talking to my feet
When there's nothing better than self-defeat
I stop - stall
Try to stand tall
When whatever I say means nothing at all

I walk
Through all the steps in my head
It made more sense in my head
Plain and simple I can't keep climbing

I try to find the words but they won't surrender
So I lie to you and say that I don't remember

Singing like a hurricane
Dancing like Fred Astaire
Walking like a young John Wayne
I'm talking like I'm falling downstairs
I'm talking like I'm falling downstairs

Stut-ter
Mutter to myself
That you can't quote something from someone else
I duck - swerve
Lose my nerves
It's on the tip of my tongue so just give me the word and

I'll walk
Through all the steps in my head
Makes more sense in my head
Plain and simple I can't keep climbing

I try to find the words but they won't surrender
So I lie to you and say that I don't remember

Singing like a hurricane
Dancing like Fred Astaire
Walking like a young John Wayne
I'm talking like I'm falling down
I'm talking like I'm falling downstairs
I'm talking like I'm falling downstairs

Singing like a hurricane
Dancing like Fred Astaire
Walking like a young John Wayne
I'm talking like I'm falling down
I'm talking like I'm falling downstairs
Talking like I'm falling downstairs
Talking like I'm falling downstairs
