C#m
Life is a fear of falling
B                         F#m
Life is a fear of falling through
        E
All the cracks


C#m                                  B
Wait around here long enough, you'll see
                                           F#m
Another junction, line up and lay down for me
         E
You fall wonderfully
C#m                          B
If I question everything you say
                                         F#m
Another answer crumbles, the birth of my day
            E
Is when you appear


A    C#m     B     F#m
You, calling out a name
A    C#m         B            F#m
You, swimming to me through a dream

C#m                  B
Every siren often my lullaby
                                          F#m
Every heartbeat functioning thrown to the night,
                     E
I'm quenched in your light
C#m                            B
See the floor rising through a dream
                                        F#m
Forgotten thoughts, lost in a memorable theme
                  E
And soaked to the skin


A    C#m     B     F#m
You, calling out a name
A    C#m         B            F#m
You, swimming to me through a dream

F#m                     
And I wanted life to be that
A
And I wanted life to be that
