I Want the Fall

V6

[Verse 1] I watch the careful edges loosen One by one beneath my hands A whole life tilts; the room goes quiet And the blank page feels like a chance [Pre-Chorus] There’s a thrill in letting go In seeing what the wreckage leaves But your face turns toward the falling And I remember what I keep [Chorus] I could tear the whole thing down Let the last familiar line come loose But I feel the weight of you In the part of me that chooses To stay, to mend, to make it through I want the fall, but I want you too [Verse 2] The old plans split along their seams The names I knew begin to blur I could call the ruin something new And never ask what it costs her [Bridge] So I hold the match, then lower it Not because the fear is gone I can see the clean white surface And I know how bright it looks But your hand is reaching for me And I reach back before the drop [Final Chorus] I could tear the whole thing down Let the last familiar line come loose But I feel the weight of you In the part of me that chooses To stay, to mend, to make it through I want the fall, but I want you too [Outro] The page is still there, waiting Your hand is warm in mine I leave the first mark gently And let the old life take its time
