"Taking A Fall" lyrics

Every year we say the same thing
"Maybe this'll 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 rear view
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 our delusion
I don't want to kiss you 'cause it's midnight
I want a kiss you just because
Don't need a road map for our whole lives
Love will meet us 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

In the letter that you threw into the flame
In the way that only you can say my name
I'm learning to fly
By taking a fall
In the tears that stained 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
