"you'll never guess who i saw yesterday...
the one you wrote about in that therapeutic, bitter way.
she's hooked to machines with broken bones
and a heart to match.
how do you feel? how do you feel about that?"
well, anyone who knows me knows from time to time
- there's no denying -
've wished so many awful things
and with good reason.
'cause anyone who knows me
has heard the story time
and time again and sympathized
'cause that's the day i died.
that's the day i died
but you'll never guess the way i felt today.
when i heard about the girl i used to love
in that family kind of way,
i wished i'd caught her fall.
i wished i'd caught her fall.
from time to time we all try flying.
wings or not, we all try flying...
diving from the windowsill
from time to time we all try flying.
wings or not, we all try flying...
anything to leave our heads
darling, i know you just want to be a leaf
that lives to fall
- that isn't called a sinner
or a failure at all darling,
i know you just want to be a leaf
that lives to fall.
we all do. we all do. we all do.
