He said
Hey I bet I could climb that
The towers are calling to me each stone
beneath my feet never thought they'd see the day
When the last one fell he was lost
and the one before him met his end
upon these rocks he said I'm not the last one
------------------------------------------------------------------
As I reach the window sill
Swinging like I'm still in "Safety Last"
Cover falls off and the string snaps
Your friends they start fighting again
------------------------------------------------------------------
Reaching the top the spire
giving me a view of my world
that I thought I'd seen
And I know I think I know
What it could've been like
What it would've been like
(What it would've been like)
------------------------------------------------------------------
If I
Had taken that
Step

Before I called you father you called me son
And even in my weakness you called me forward
And showed me love
If you had not walked by I'd still be lying
In that ditch where you found me
Before I called you father you called me son
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Pick me up and show me
All those things you told me
Time and time again
But I never listened
Pick me up and show me
All those things you told me
Time and time again
But I never learned
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Before I called you father you called me son
And even in my weakness you called me forward
And showed me love
If you had not walked by I'd still be lying
In that ditch where you found me
Before I called you father you called me
Son
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Never put me down
Please just show me how
To love them
The way you loved
Me
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Never
Never put me down

Six hour drive on a freeway
Listening to talk radio
Have friendly personable
Conversations
With people that you'll never know
(And don't want to)
----------------------------------------------------
(Your) Cigarettes cut through the weather
(But you) Swore you'd never light up again
(He said) Just one more just for old time's sake
Of memories of nightmares gone
by
-----------------------------------------------------
And I can't decide if the picture in my mind's still accurate
Or if you've changed
And he can't remember if he doesn't remember you right
Or if you've changed
Staring at the patterns in your carpet again
Waiting for us all to quiet down
For the last time
And everything around you falls apart
And everything around you falls apart
-------------------------------------------------------
Go to bed not disillusioned
Thinking that the things that I say just might
Change someone's mind
Waking up partially aware
That a hundred miles closer
is still a hundred miles too
(far)
--------------------------------------------------------
And I can't decide if the picture in my mind's still accurate
Or if you've changed
And he can't remember if he doesn't remember you right
Or if you've changed
Staring at the pictures on your wall again
Waiting for us all to come back down
For the last time
And everything around you falls apart
And everything around you falls apart
--------------------------------------------------------
And I've been left behind
I can feel dust on my tongue
I've been left behind
I can smell blood in the air
And I've been left behind
I can feel dust on my tongue
I've been left behind
I can smell blood in the air
