The Way We Fall

Lyrics for The Way We Fall

It was back in my home town Drinking whiskey from the bottle It was an indian summer Wild fires were burning I didn't know it was the last time You never know when it's the last time I didn't know it was the last time I walked miles after midnight To a filthy attic room I can still evoke the stale smoke Of his cigarettes, cigarettes, cigarettes I didn't know it was the last time You never know when it's the last time I didn't know it was the last time Tim was on the sidewalk With his empty, ocean eyes He was smiling like a shadow And would never age, never age, never age I didn't know it was the last time You never know when it's the last time I didn't know it was the last time A vision blurred through colored glass The white washed walls of summer's passed The smoldering I do recall The hopeless fade, the way we fall
