Oh my mama told me suffering is bound to make you bitter or better And I know my troubles haven’t been nearly as hard as most But a frayed umbrella doesn’t make the falling rain any wetter & creaky floorboards & whiny hinges doesn’t mean you heard a ghost I put all my eggs in some strange goddamn basket Hoping one-and-done love would never betray me And though my treasured vessel coulda ended up my casket I didn’t dodge the bullet but the bullet dodged me My daddy told me that the wound is the best place the light can enter And hell is the place where the soul is most unable to love And while no teacher, no prophet, no guru can bring you to the center You can coax the kingfisher’s call to silence the mourning dove Oh the queen of my heart ruled with an iron fist I paced my blackened cell, even though I had the key And when the sunrise greeted me with the Judas kiss I didn’t dodge the bullet but the bullet dodged me I want a kind woman, and someone I can be kind to An unconfined woman, who doesn’t even know the meaning of untrue

I hope you’re as patient with him As you weren’t patient with me Hope you go easy on him, as he is Grafted on your family tree Is he everything you wanted? Is he everything I’m not? Did you find your perfection, though you knew it Was gonna be a long shot? How I wanted to forget you, O, my God, how I tried Despite the tears and the anger Something spans the divide Seems there still are some strings From what wasn’t meant to me Seems there still are some strings, between you and me Between you and me

We weren’t quite kids, not quite adults That didn’t stop us from forming playground cults You were our quirky leader, making quirky scenes, [like when you asked:] “Why do I have all this space in the front of my jeans? I’m not a dude, this is kinda obscene” Oh dear lord, when I fall Oh dear lord, when I fall I fall hard You picked me first at Japan Fest Took me a while to return your interest Made a silly ring out of grass But time to show you love - I just sat on my ass I thought I knew how to raise the bar I tried to impress you - when I ran and when I played guitar And oh dear lord, when I fall Oh dear lord, when I fall I fall hard It had been a while since I’d been smitten When I saw you standing alone, god, how I was bitten A pouty face begging to be loved I thought I could just maybe be the one The next few years I was your surrogate boyfriend A role I loathed and loved until the bitter end Oh dear lord, when I fall Oh dear lord, when I fall I fall hard I noticed you from afar A woodland nymph or mermaid - still don’t know what you are Worked up the courage to talk, 5 hours first time in the park But you were never gonna fall in love… with me… Stayed up all night with queso, doing sun-salutes When my computer crashed, I lost my photo tributes Oh dear lord, when I fall Oh dear lord, when I fall I fall hard The unexpected once again At a home-brew party with my dearest friends A smiling face, a dotted dress Faked my way through some jams, but my brain was such a mess Didn’t hear from you for a year Suddenly we are revealing all our hopes and fears, but Seems my timing’s never right Slow-shutter story as the exes reunite Oh dear lord, when I fall Oh dear lord, when I fall Oh dear lord, when I fall Oh dear lord, when I fall I fall hard I fall hard I fall hard I fall hard BONUS VERSE: No More Nomad / Happy Ending Time moves slow, and time moves fast Our brains connected with wires from our past Music has its own matchmaking plans, Projector adventures, and timid holding hands, Parking lot romance, assurance I’ll move slowly, Can’t help but revel in the sinful and the holy, Loving you has been my favorite pastime, The cosmos saved the best ’til now, cuz I’m falling for the last time, Oh dear lord, when I fall Oh dear lord, when I fall I fall hard
