First you fall then you fly And you believe that you belong up in the sky Flap your arms as you run, every revolution Brings you closer to the sun You fall asleep in motion in uncharted hemispheres And wake up with the stars falling down around your ears When they hit the ground they're nothing but stones That's how you learn to live alone That's how you learn to live alone Bit by bit, you slip away You loose yourself in pieces in the things that you don't say You're not here, but you're still there The sun goes up, the sun goes down And you're not sure you care You live inside the false, till you don't recognize the true
People send you pictures, and you can't believe it's you It's been years since your house has felt like home That's how you learn to live alone That's how you learn to live alone It don't feel right, but it's not wrong It's just hard to start again this far along Brick by brick, the letting go As you walk away from everything you know You release resistance, lean into the wind Till the roof begins to crumble and the rain comes pouring in And you sit there in the rubble, till the rubble feels like home That's how you learn to live alone That's how you learn to live alone That's how you learn to live alone
