Coming down coming down,
Count the hours and the seconds out
I lay in bed nerves on edge
Wait until your light goes dead
Here I go, step by step
December’s cold and it shows my breath
I can’t stop now, it’s too steep
Hear the violence of my shoes in the street
*(And will you)
Pull me back if you can
You are with me everywhere
The shadow of my broken past
The weapon in my careless hand
**This is who I am without you
Steady and strong
This is how I live without you
On my own
You know I’ll forget about you
Whenever I want
This is who I am without you.
Coming down coming down
Water falls from a raging cloud
It covers me inch by inch
In this war I’m a child with a stick
(And will you)
Pull me back if you can
You are with me everywhere
The shadow of my broken past
The weapon in my careless hand
This is who I am without you
Steady and strong
This is how I live without you
On my own
You know I’ll forget about you
Whenever I want
This is who I am without you.
Here I pause and wait
For one moment I pray to God
You’re coming after me
But I know that can’t be.
Hold me, right here.
