First You Fall
And then you fly
And you believe
That you belong
In the sky
Flap your arms, as you run
Every revelation brings you closer to the sun
You fall asleep in emotion
In uncharted hemispheres
And you wake up with the stars
Falling down around your ears
And 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 way
You lose 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
But you're not sure you care
You live inside the false till you don't
Recognize the true
People send you pictures
But you can't believe it's you
And it's been years since
Your house's felt like home

That's how you learn to live alone
That's how you learn to live alone

I don't fell right
But it's not wrong
It's just hard to start again
This far along
Brick by crick, the letting go
As you walk away from everything you know
When you release resistence
And you lean into the wind
Till the roof begins to crumble
And the rain comes pouring in
And you sit there in the rubble
Until the rubble feels like home

That's how you learn to live alone
That's how you learn to live alone
And that's how you learn to live alone
