Learning to Fall

Once you found out All you had to do was reach out You ran with it Most of us knew t That in just a day or two You'd take advantage of it But the future you made it With the time that you saved Was an accident Now the dreams that you claimed Are no longer the same So get used to it You wear what you've lost On your back like a cross And you live with it Hope and you pray Maybe one of these days You won't give a shit But the road that you chose Has now come to a close And you've driven it Made your mistake And took all you could take When you were given it Now take what you've learned from the fall If you've even learned anything at all You'll never be nearly as small As you are when you crawl
