Catching Your Fall Lyrics

Dad said son

You been living so sinful

Your mother's back home

She's begging God to forgive you

And the cops came knocking on the door

But I said I don't know you are anymore

Tell 'em it's the same as it was before

Well I tried to explain, but I'm just wasting breath

Patiently waiting, but it's taking forever

I look away for a second, and you're making a mess

Getting angry at me isn't making it better

Changing what's done's nowheres sweet as revenge

When we meet at the edge, dead in the center

I'm saving you from the dangers ahead

You should say thank you, instead you're just yelling

I'm telling you now let's forget all about this

Forget about what?

Uh huh, exactly

This'll all be a pile of ashes

And we'll all go on as if it didn't happen

Ain't no upside when your down on your luck

Just lie on your face 'till you drown in the mud

And pray for the best to the sky way up

And expect nothing less, like the clouds give a fuck

Ay

Dad said son

You been living so sinful

Your mother's back home

She's begging God to forgive you

And I guess those prayers

Haven't worked yet

How many times do you think

You can swerve death?

Still the same as it all was before

I don't know why I bother anymore

What tomorow has in store isn't much for me

I was on the floor begging on my knees

I figured Jesus ain't nothing but a sucker's belief

Tell ya what

What I've come to believe

Life's just jugglin' nostalgia while you're stuck on repeat

And I swim in hot water, sinkin' up to my teeth

Singin' nobody knows the trouble I seen

I try to run, something's tuggin' my sleeve

Like oh well, sucks for you, you're stuck with me

I used to wonder like: "What does it mean?"

But now whatever it was, it means nothing to me

You see

All I'm told's what I'm supposed to be

And what I could be supposedly

It's like a dark cloud is over me

It's like I'm starting now to only see

And so I overheat until I oversleep

It's so controlling, it's choking me

And then around my neck they hold a rosary

And say "You're going to hell, that's sac-religious"

Ay

Dad said son

You been living so sinful

Your mothers back home

She's begging God to forgive you

Still the same as it all was before

Still the same as it all was before

Still the same as it all was before

And I can't keep catching your fall anymore
