SURVIVING THE STAIRS by tom jensen
(as adapted for ellasings4diamonds)
I left last night behind me
Only to have it find me
in the morning
(in the morning)
For unlike the sea
Which smooths all of its broken glass
I got cut without any warning
(without any warning)
Only to have it find me in the morning
Without any warning
Without any warning
Without any warning
Torn and tattered
Another glass
got shattered
What was intact
just the night before
He left me in
a child-like state
After a battle that saw me
fall from grace
I just sat there with
a stunned look on my face
So far away from HIM,
IN an entirely different place
ooooh...
Left me jaw - dropped
staring out the window
At the bedroom sun
Feeling so far away
from just /bout everyone
This wasn't by choice
It's just something that can happen
Fallin’ in and out of love
Sure it’s hard forgetting
being forgotten
Since that day I’ve felt rotten…
We’ve all been there
Here’s a game that I play
At least ten times a day
Always trying to climb up
After I've fallen down
It's a little game
I like to play
One that I call
Surviving the stairs
Surviving the stairs
Surviving the stairs
Torn and tattered
Another glass
got shattered
What was intact
just the night before
He left me...
The note I read it found me in the morning
in the morning
Without any warning
Without any warning
Surviving the stairs
Surviving the stairs
So far away from him and here
In an entirely different place
ooooh...
Ooh...Ooh...oooh...
