learning how to fall lyrics

I was walking on a wire
Looking down, there was no net
Now, I'm standing at your door
Me and my last cigarette, oh

Yeah, we've been through this before
Too late to cover up my tracks
Damn the fool who begs for more
I'll take my past and paint it black

Now the circus has left town
This clown has got to get his feet back on the ground

I'm learning how to fall
(Learning how to fall)
Learning how to take a hit
(Learning how to fall)
Had to walk before I crawled
It was winner take it all
Now I'm learning how to fall
(Learning how to fall)
Yeah, I got the hang of it

I was standing in the light
There were faces all around
I put my gloves up for a fight
One sucker punch and I was down

I'm learning how to fall
(Learning how to fall)
Learning how to take a hit
(Learning how to fall)
Had to walk before I crawled
It was winner take it all
I'm learning how to fall
(Learning how to fall)
Yeah, I got the hang of it

I was flying through the clouds
Pucker up, it's time to kiss the ground

I'm learning how to fall
(Learning how to fall)
Learning how to take a hit
(Learning how to fall)
Had to walk before I crawled
It was winner take it all
I'm learning how to fall
(Learning how to fall)
Now I got the hang of it

Learning how to fall, learning how to fall
Learning how to fall
(Yeah, I've got the hang of it)
Learning how to fall, learning how to fall
Learning how to fall
(Learning how to fall)
Learning how to fall, learning how to fall
(Learning how to fall)
