I am bending, made of steel And i am stumbling towards something real How can you forget this feeling Of standing straight while the world is reeling? Don't leave me here alone You're as close as it gets to home Chorus: Don't look down...you might fall Life made monkeys of us all (in our finest year) Don't wait up...we'll be fine Somehow we might get it right...in our finest year I am hopeful, full of doubt And i am trying to work this whole thing out So how can you just sit there sleeping When your world's on fire and your chest is beating? And i want to think you feel the same (chorus) In this moment, while you're breathing, if the tension leaves you needing Will you be the one who stares are your life just slips away? Don't leave me here alone You're as close as it gets to home I'll be there...if you fall Love made suckers of us all (chorus)
