Mat Kearney - Can't Break Her Fall lyrics
[Mat Kearney - Can't Break Her Fall lyrics]
She says today is gonna be the last one
I know there's never gonna be an easy way out
She's rolling round the town with a fast gun
And I know I can't be there
To catch her when she falls
Well half way down is half way out of here
We're either halfway drowned or half
Way 'round the pier
When you're that far gone
I walked the steps to her apartment
With the window by the shore
And saw her curled on the tile
Through a crack in the door
I've been searching for the words I
Don't know how to say
I've been searching for the words
To make it go away i spent all of last night
And the night before that
With my feet in the sand and
The wind on my back
Watching a ship sail out to a blue wide sea
There must be more than this with
A kiss we can't see
Well half way down is half way out of here
We're either half way drowned or
Half way round the pier
I can't break her, I can't break her fall
She's lying in the back room
Crying on the bathroom floor
Singing I can't take it
I can't take any more
Just one reason, one to believe in
That's not that far gone not that far gone
I held the back of her head
And laid her in the bed
And watched the sheets raise and fall
To the rhythm of her breath
Turn the lock on the handle
And slipped down the stairs
To the cover of the night
With diamonds in the air
I'll say a prayer in my breath and
Take a left at the water
To the rhythm of my feet
A sister and a daughter
To the rhythm of the sea with
The breeze in the autumn
As it blows through the trees
My hands into the water
Well half way down is half way out of here
We're either half way drowned or
Half way round the pier
I can't break her, I can't break her fall
She's lying in the back room
Crying on the bathroom floor
Singing I can't take it
I can't take any more
Just one reason, one to believe in
That's not that far gone not that far gone
I can't break her, I can't break her fall
She's lying in the back room
Crying on the bathroom floor
And I can't take it, I can't take anymore
She says today is gonna be the last time
And I know there's never gonna
Be an easy way out
I know there's never gonna be an easy way out
She's rolling round the town with a fast gun
And I know I can't be there
To catch her when she falls
Well half way down is half way out of here
We're either halfway drowned or half
Way 'round the pier
When you're that far gone
I walked the steps to her apartment
With the window by the shore
And saw her curled on the tile
Through a crack in the door
I've been searching for the words I
Don't know how to say
I've been searching for the words
To make it go away i spent all of last night
And the night before that
With my feet in the sand and
The wind on my back
Watching a ship sail out to a blue wide sea
There must be more than this with
A kiss we can't see
Well half way down is half way out of here
We're either half way drowned or
Half way round the pier
I can't break her, I can't break her fall
She's lying in the back room
Crying on the bathroom floor
Singing I can't take it
I can't take any more
Just one reason, one to believe in
That's not that far gone not that far gone
I held the back of her head
And laid her in the bed
And watched the sheets raise and fall
To the rhythm of her breath
Turn the lock on the handle
And slipped down the stairs
To the cover of the night
With diamonds in the air
I'll say a prayer in my breath and
Take a left at the water

A sister and a daughter
To the rhythm of the sea with

Well half way down is half way out of here
We're either half way drowned or
Half way round the pier
I can't break her, I can't break her fall
She's lying in the back room
Crying on the bathroom floor
Singing I can't take it
I can't take any more
Just one reason, one to believe in
That's not that far gone not that far gone
I can't break her, I can't break her fall
She's lying in the back room
Crying on the bathroom floor
And I can't take it, I can't take anymore
She says today is gonna be the last time
And I know there's never gonna
Be an easy way out
