Lyrics
0:23Waking up again another sleepless night
0:26Climbing taller buildings more dreams of flight
0:30In a pool of sweat not knowing what to do
0:33No more earth bound feelings a diff'rent point of view
0:37Moment of truth he heads towards the building
0:41His glazed eyes stare vacantly following his feelings
0:44No turning back the door's already shutting
0:48Standing on his tiptoes to reach the nineteenth button
0:52To miss a grasping hand
0:54I'm falling again
0:56And squash a passer by
0:57I'm falling again
1:00He wanted to see some evidence
1:01I'm falling again
1:03That he could really fly
1:23Balanced on the edge only time could tell
1:27Some say he was pushed others say he fell
1:30Standing on that rooftop his brain told him 'no'
1:34But all the dreams in nights before told him he
1:36Must go
1:37To miss a grasping hand
1:39I'm falling again
1:41And squash a passer by
1:43I'm falling again
1:45He wanted to see some evidence
1:47I'm falling again
1:49That he could really fly
1:54His questions and himself
1:57Nearly fell on stony ground
2:01He could've embarrassed his family
2:05Who watched him from the crowd
2:15Balanced on the edge only time could tell
2:19Some say he was pushed others say he fell
2:23To miss a grasping hand
2:25I'm falling again
2:27And squash a passer by
2:28I'm falling again
2:30He wanted to see some evidence
2:32I'm falling again
2:34That he could really fly
2:36I'm falling
Waking up again another sleepless night Climbing taller buildings more dreams of flight In a pool of sweat not knowing what to do No more earth bound feelings a diff'rent point of view Moment of truth he heads towards the building His glazed eyes stare vacantly following his feelings No turning back the door's already shutting Standing on his tiptoes to reach the nineteenth button To miss a grasping hand I'm falling again And squash a passer by I'm falling again He wanted to see some evidence I'm falling again That he could really fly Balanced on the edge only time could tell Some say he was pushed others say he fell Standing on that rooftop his brain told him 'no' But all the dreams in nights before told him he Must go To miss a grasping hand I'm falling again And squash a passer by I'm falling again He wanted to see some evidence I'm falling again That he could really fly His questions and himself Nearly fell on stony ground He could've embarrassed his family Who watched him from the crowd Balanced on the edge only time could tell Some say he was pushed others say he fell To miss a grasping hand I'm falling again And squash a passer by I'm falling again He wanted to see some evidence I'm falling again That he could really fly I'm falling
