Lyrics

LONG WAY DOWN

would you be safer in my hands?
you hate to think that I understand
what you try so hard to explain
you can fill me in on the parts I missed
before you gave yourself the slip
and we all kept our ears close to the ground

it's a long way down
but somehow you can't seem
to keep your feet on the ground

so come and whisper in my ear
how you decide when to disappear
I'll start counting backwards while you hide
you can lose your way or we'll say you did
I'll never ask you where you've been
or what might be the best thing that you found

it's a long way down
but somehow you can't seem
to keep your feet on the ground
