Description

After That Fall (Version 2)

[Verse 1]

I was all bright plans

Big talk

Shy hands

Heart made of sugar

Running from the crash

I chased every ladder

Till the ground reached back

One wrong step

And the world went black

[Chorus]

After that fall

I learned how to stand

Hands scraped open

Still I raised my hands

I was so afraid

Of getting it wrong at all

Now I thank the ground

For catching me

After that fall

[Verse 2]

I woke up aching

On a stranger street

Pride in pieces

Scattered at my feet

Silence asked questions

I’d dodged for years

I answered shaking

But I stayed right here

[Chorus]

After that fall

I learned how to stand

Hands scraped open

Still I raised my hands

I was so afraid

Of getting it wrong at all

Now I thank the ground

For breaking me

After that fall

[Bridge]

I’m still full of fire

But I’m not so blind

Stronger in the places

That split the first time (oh)

If I ever stumble

I’ll remember it all

The day I met myself

At the bottom of the wall

[Chorus]

After that fall

I learned how to stand

Fear in my throat

Hope in my hands

I was so afraid

Of living small

Now I bless the break

That built me tall

I became who I am

After that fall
