a Long Way Down (memo)

I said I'll find the answers at the bottom of this bottle You told me "that's a long way down" The broken tide that tends to look for trouble And the dizzy driftwood carried back around That's a place I've been; a place I'm in right now I know you don't need all that you can't see And I need to set this heavy metal down But I can't bear to see your back go out As you look back at me It's a long way down It's a long way down It's a long way down Will you break my fall? I've seen the iron plank that you pulled away The more I know the more I feel it too And though right now I think that it's okay I know it all could change because of you Through it all I do believe it's worth it With rocks we've stacked I feel I'm safe at home In shambles left from all the wars around me This house we've built remains All set in stone And it's a long way down It's a long way down It's a long way down Can you break my fall?
