Ready To Fall
Rise Against (USA) Lyrics

Hold on slow down again from the top now and tell me everything
Please slow down and explain everything to me from the beginning so that I can catch up on what I have missed.

I know I've been gone for what seems like forever
I realize that I've been away for a long time.

But I'm here now waiting
I'm back now and waiting for you to accept my return.

To convince you that I'm not a ghost or a stranger
I want to make you believe that I'm not someone you don't know or someone who is dead.

But closer than you think
I'm actually much closer to you than you might think.

She said just go on to what you pretend is your life
Someone suggested that I should continue living the life that I'm pretending to lead.

But please don't die on me
But I hope you don't take that advice and end up hurting yourself.

Wings won't take me Heights don't faze me So take a step But don't look down Take a step
I'm not afraid of flying or heights, so I'm going to keep moving forward, but I won't look down.

Now I'm standing on the rooftop, ready to fall I'm think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall
I feel like I'm at my breaking point, and one more thing could make me fall completely, but I know I could be wrong.

Perpetual motion, the image won't focus A blur is all that's seen But here in this moment like the eye of the storm It all came clear to me
Everything feels like a blur, but in this moment of clarity, I can see things more clearly, like being in the eye of a hurricane.

I found a shoulder to lean on An infallible reason to live all by itself I took one last look from the heights that I once loved And then I ran like hell
I found someone to rely on, and that alone is reason enough for me to keep living. I took one last glance at my old life before quickly moving on to the next chapter.

I count the times that I've been sorry I know, I know Now my compassion slowly drowns I know, I know If there's a time these walls could guard you I know, I know Then let that time be right now
I've apologized many times, and now I feel like my empathy is slipping away. If there was ever a time to protect you, it's now.

Now I'm standing on the rooftop Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall I'm think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
I'm still in a precarious place where it feels like I could fall at any moment, but I'm standing my ground for now.
