All alone
Stagger and Fall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's get out by heading away from here
And there's no next year for me here
Take hits and pass it
And let all the ashes fall to the floor
Once you have it all you still want more
Take my innocence away
Would they even notice either way?
Can you tell that I'm a kid that was not into going to church?
The stars are burning out tonight
Do you think we'll stay this high?
And watch our favorite ones outside
Before this turns to black
Let's burn away our past
And set this cruise control for crash
Start up the fire
Let's burn this place straight down, down to the ground
If no one makes a sound then I say
Let's use my lighter
In life we're the writers to our own books
I've written mine on lies and catchy hooks
Let's dance around the mess we've made
Call someone up, let's score an eighth
To sit and relax
There's nothing we can do about the past
The stars are burning out tonight
Do you think we'll stay this high?
And watch our favorite ones outside
Before this turns to black
Let's burn away our past
And set this cruise control for crash
Someone sees smoke, call 911
Let's let this burn until it's done
Don't walk away
Let's let them see the mess that we became
Sirens flashing, here's the cops
Don't blame this on not having jobs
But dreams, and I see things
Cause I'm not afraid to think outside the box
And now I'm shaking
I hope I'm making perfect sense
So place your bets to see where I end up
And oh my god this place is so messed up
And rip me apart to see my insides
Compose myself, I'm not secure
And don't believe (don't believe) a single thing that you have heard
And throw my pride into this fire
My confidence is dead, I'm tired
Who's giving up? (I'm giving up)
I won't burn out, I'll just burn up
And I was raised on excellence
Always taught to look my best
I don't wanna be just anybody
I don't wanna be anything you forget
Villains die and heroes live forever
Tragic endings get remembered
I don't wanna be just anybody
I don't wanna be anything you forget
And I won't be someone you forget
So don't forget
Just don't forget
And I won't be someone you forget
They won't forget you in the end

Start up the engine
Let's get this show on the road
Let's get out by heading away from here
Let's leave this place behind and start fresh
And there's no next year for me here
I can't stay here any longer, I need to move forward
Take hits and pass it
Let's share our problems and make them lighter
And let all the ashes fall to the floor
Let's forget our mistakes and focus on what's ahead
Once you have it all you still want more
You never really have enough
Take my innocence away
Take away my naivety and show me the truth
Would they even notice either way?
Would anyone care if I lost my innocence?
My visions blurred
I can't see things clearly anymore
Can you tell that I'm a kid that was not into going to church?
My rebellious nature reveals my lack of religious upbringing
The stars are burning out tonight
Our time is running out
Do you think we'll stay this high?
Can we keep this feeling forever?
And watch our favorite ones outside
Let's savor the good things in life
Before this turns to black
Before things take a turn for the worse
Let's burn away our past
Let's cleanse ourselves of our mistakes
And set this cruise control for crash
Let's go all in and see what happens
Start up the fire
Let's start something new
Let's burn this place straight down, down to the ground
Let's destroy our old lives and build new ones
If no one makes a sound then I say
If nothing changes, then it's up to us
Let's use my lighter
Let's make a change and take control
In life we're the writers to our own books
We control our own destinies
I've written mine on lies and catchy hooks
I've made mistakes but I've learned from them
Let's dance around the mess we've made
Let's not dwell on the past, let's celebrate the present
Call someone up, let's score an eighth
Let's have some fun and live a little
To sit and relax
To take a break and unwind
There's nothing we can do about the past
We can only learn from it
Someone sees smoke, call 911
When things get out of control, ask for help
Let's let this burn until it's done
Let's see this through to the end, no matter what
Don't walk away
Don't give up, stay strong
Let's let them see the mess that we became
Let's not hide our flaws, let's embrace them
Sirens flashing, here's the cops
Consequences are catching up to us
Don't blame this on not having jobs
Don't use excuses to justify our mistakes
But dreams, and I see things
I have big aspirations and I see possibilities
Cause I'm not afraid to think outside the box
I'm not afraid to take risks and do things differently
And now I'm shaking
I'm scared but I won't back down
I hope I'm making perfect sense
I hope others can understand where I'm coming from
So place your bets to see where I end up
I don't know what my future holds but I'm willing to find out
And oh my god this place is so messed up
Life is chaotic and unpredictable
And rip me apart to see my insides
See me for who I truly am, flaws and all
Compose myself, I'm not secure
I need to work on myself and my insecurities
And don't believe (don't believe) a single thing that you have heard
Don't believe the rumors and hearsay about me
And throw my pride into this fire
Letting go of my pride and ego
My confidence is dead, I'm tired
I'm depleted and exhausted
Who's giving up? (I'm giving up)
I'm feeling defeated and powerless
I won't burn out, I'll just burn up
I may be burning out but I'll go down fighting
And I was raised on excellence
I was taught to strive for greatness
Always taught to look my best
I was taught to present my best self
I don't wanna be just anybody
I want to be someone special and memorable
I don't wanna be anything you forget
I don't want to be easily dismissed or overlooked
Villains die and heroes live forever
You're either remembered for good or bad
Tragic endings get remembered
Painful memories stay with us forever
I won't be someone you forget
I won't be easily forgotten
So don't forget
Remember me always
Just don't forget
I can't stress this enough
They won't forget you in the end
Your actions have consequences and will be remembered
