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 you wake up with the stars fallin' down around your ears
And when they hit the ground they're nothin' 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 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 recognise the truth
People send you pictures and you can't believe its you
And 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
(Ooooooh)
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
When you release resistance and you lean into the wind
Till the roof begins to crumble and the rain comes pourin'
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
