John broke the news like a prized vase, he said that things like these just happen And you best quantify what you're saving because most things are designed for wasting You see, I thought that he was the real thing, but I'd traded my eyes for a fantasy And I'd traded my hands for a nail gun; locked myself up in a big box It falls like water; tumbles and lands harder You pick yourself up off the pavement Evaporate into the air You say you're committed to changing, well then how come your laugh does the same thing That it's done twenty years in the making Lifts and it twirls and it stands, before It falls like water; tumbles and lands harder You pick yourself up off the pavement Evaporate into the air Do we give it up once we've grasped it? Bodies all covered in sweat Feeling for symptoms of grand revelation, finding that time just escapes us As we fall like water; tumble and land harder You pick yourself up off the pavement, evaporate into the air
