Break Our Fall

I remember that night

You fell asleep under the truck when it got late

In the morning, when I pulled out to look for you

Thank God I rolled out straight

Nothing was ever too much

Doing flips off the roof

It's like you were cheating death left and right

But you still wanted proof

And I was thinking about you just yesterday

How you were gonna stop by on your way

I had some things that I wanted to talk you about

Had some things that I wanted to say

But now I stand here in your flannel shirt

Your mom couldn't bear to give it to Goodwill

It's not even cold out, but I wear it still

You were always there when we hit the wall

Now no one's gonna break our fall

We laughed until we got drunk

We drank until we fight

And then we'd laugh again over my fat lip

While you were icing your eye

Then you got behind the needle

Chasing the next high

And then you managed to escape it

You got that job and you married your wife

And I was thinking about you just yesterday

How you were gonna stop by on your way

I had some things that I wanted to talk to you about

Had some things that I wanted to say

But now I stand here in your flannel shirt

Your mom couldn't bear to give it to Goodwill

It's not even cold out, but I wear it still

You were always there when we hit the wall

Now no one's gonna break our fall

Break our fall, break our fall

Break our fall

Now no one's gonna break our fall

And I was thinking about you just yesterday

How you were gonna stop by on your way

I had some things that I wanted to talk you about

Had some things that I wanted to say

But now I stand here in your flannel shirt

Your mom couldn't bear to give it to Goodwill

It's not even cold out, but I wear it still

You were always there when we hit the wall

Now no one's gonna break our fall

Break our fall, break our fall

Break our fall

Now no one's gonna break our fall

I'll see you when I see you

Oh, this may be

But I won't love you when I love you

No, that will always stay the same

I won't feel you when I feel you

'Cause I feel you every day

But I'll see you when I see you
