Can't Break Her Fall

[00:00.66] She says today is gonna be the last one
[00:06.71] I know there's never gonna be an easy way out
[00:13.06] She's rolling 'round the town with a fast gun
[00:19.18] And I know I can't be there to catch her when she falls
[00:24.86] Well, halfway down is halfway out of here
[00:30.65] We're either halfway drowned or halfway 'round the pier
[00:36.04] When you're that far gone
[00:38.24] Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[00:44.00] Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[00:49.38] I walked the steps to her apartment with the window by the shore
[00:52.74] And saw her curled on the tile through a crack in the door
[00:55.89] I've been searching for the words, I don't know how to say
[00:59.03] I've been searching for the words to make it go away
[01:01.88] I spent all of last night and the night before that
[01:05.21] With my feet in the sand and the winds on my back
[01:08.07] Watching a ship sail out to a blue wide sea
[01:11.45] There must be more than this with a kiss we can't see
[01:14.56] Well, halfway down is halfway out of here
[01:20.12] We're either half way drowned or halfway 'round the pier
[01:26.95] I can't break her, I can't break her fall
[01:33.83] She's lying in the backroom, crying on the bathroom floor
[01:38.32] Singing, I can't take it, I can't take anymore
[01:46.24] Just one reason, one to believe in
[01:49.40] That's not that far gone, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[01:56.40] Not that far gone, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[02:03.31] I held the back of her head and laid her in the bed
[02:06.72] And watched the sheets raise and fall to the rhythm of her breath
[02:10.13] Turn the lock on the handle and slipped down the stairs
[02:13.19] To the cover of the night with diamonds in the air
[02:16.28] I'll say a prayer in my breath and take a left at the water
[02:19.67] To the rhythm of my feet, a sister and a daughter
[02:22.66] To the rhythm of the sea and the breeze in the autumn
[02:25.60] As it blows through the trees, my hands into the water
[02:28.83] Well, halfway down is halfway out of here
[02:34.34] We're either halfway drowned or halfway 'round the pier, oh
[02:41.06] And I can't break her, I can't break her fall
[02:48.09] She's lying in the backroom, crying on the bathroom floor
[02:53.48] And I can't take it, I can't take anymore
[03:00.50] Just one reason, one to believe in
[03:04.19] That's not that far gone
[03:06.66] I can't break her, I can't break her fall
[03:12.64] She's lying in the backroom, crying on the bathroom floor
[03:18.59] I can't take it, I can't take it anymore
[03:31.19] She says today is gonna be the last time
[03:37.33] And I know there's never gonna be an easy way out
[03:43.50]
