Toad the Wet Sprocket Lyrics
Toad the Wet Sprocket

Fall Down
She said "I'm fine, I'm okay" cover up your trembling hands
There's indecision when you know you ain't got nothing left

When the good times never stay
And the cheap thrills always seem to fade away
When will we fall down

Jump back, got to get out of here
Been too long this time
Jump back, got to get out of here
When will we fall down

She hates her life she hates her skin she even hates her friends
Tries to hold on to all the reputations she can't mend
And there's some chance we could fail
But the last time someone was always there for bail
When will we fall down

Jump back, got to get out of here
Been too long this time
Jump back, got to get out of here
When will we fall down

For the last time conscience calls
For a good friend I was never there at all
When will we fall down


Something's Always Wrong
Another day I call and never speak
And you would say nothing's changed at all
And I can't feel much hope for anything
If I won't be there to catch you if you fall

Again
It seems we meet
In the spaces
In between
We always say
It won't be long
But something's always wrong

Another game of putting things aside
As if we'll come back to them some time
A brace of hope a pride of innocence
And you would say something has gone wrong

Again
It seems we meet
In the spaces
In between
We always say
It won't be long
But something's always wrong

1."Again we fail to meet and mend
The spaces safe between intents
We say too much and long been gone,
Oh but something's always wrong."

2."Again we fail to make amends
And wend our way between intents
And looking back, not moving on
Oh but something's always wrong."

3."Again we fail to meet and mend
The spaces safe between intents
We say too much, too long been gone
Oh but something's always wrong.

Begin
Are you given vision
Are you second sight
Are you older than your life
Eighty days of sorrow
Endless more in sight
Still you child burn bright

And you see me crying again
And you hold out your little hand
Lead me shaking to his room
I thought I'd never see again

Close the door behind you
Turning out the light
Press a flashlight up against the wall
You say: "This is how we knew him,
in a little egg
It opened up and this is daddy now"

Now you're stepping back towards me
'Til the room is bathing in light
And the answer there before me
There's no ending when we die

Are you sleeping here beside me
Are you shining bright as the sky
Are you breathing now inside me
There's no ending when we die
