# POTHOLE I — THE FALL ## “Can You Hear Me?” ### Duet — Under 3 Minutes [Intro — Voice A] I knew this road, I knew every turn— [Voice B] I saw you walking, Like any other day— [Voice A] Then the ground disappeared. [Verse 1 — Voice A] One step and I was falling, No warning, no goodbye, The daylight disappeared from me, I couldn't understand why. [Voice B] One moment you were walking, The next you weren't in sight, I called your name into the dark— [Voice A] But I was too afraid to cry. [Pre-Chorus — Alternating] [Voice A] Can anybody hear me? [Voice B] I'm calling out your name. [Voice A] Can anybody find me? [Voice B] I'm here. I'm here. I'm staying. [Chorus — Duet] [Voice A] I'm down inside the pothole— [Voice B] I'm standing by the edge— [Voice A] I cannot see the daylight— [Voice B] But I can see you there. [Voice A] I don't know how to climb out. [Voice B] You don't have to know tonight. [Both] If you can hear me, Stay with me, We'll breathe until there's light. [Verse 2 — Voice B] Give me your fear, You don't need words, You don't have to explain. [Voice A] How can you understand the dark When you're standing in the day? [Voice B] I may not know your darkness, I may not feel your pain, But I can sit beside this hole And call your name again. [Bridge — Call & Response] [Voice A] I can't see the road. [Voice B] I can. [Voice A] I can't find my strength. [Voice B] Take mine. [Voice A] What if I can't climb? [Voice B] Then I'll stay. [Voice A] Can you hear me? [Voice B] Every word. [Final Chorus — Duet] [Voice A] I'm still inside the pothole— [Voice B] But you're no longer alone. [Voice A] I still can't see tomorrow— [Voice B] Then tonight will be enough. [Both] We don't need all the answers, We don't need to see the end, Just one breath, Just one moment, And a hand reaching for a hand. [Outro — Alternating] [Voice A] Will you stay? [Voice B] I'm here. [Voice A] Don't let go. [Voice B] I won't. [Both] We'll walk and grow together. [Fade Out] One breath... One breath...
