Breaking My Fall

I once was a king of my own designs
Now a pawn walking streets skipping cracks in the pavement lines
Just a pale face lost in a rat race trying to pull a sad face
Lost in a lonely crowd
Like a seat on a rush hour tube
Making life hard, like a Rubik cube
Each night when I sleep, when I dream
I see me
Writing up a plan on a coffee shop wall
Taking every hit like a punching ball
Staring at a screen for a telephone call
A wall worth climbing
Open up an envelope an invitation
Any kind of cause for a celebration tonight
The moon seems lost
So when the city starts to haunt you (haunt you)
It’s always darkest just before the dawn (the dawn)
And if I’m gonna make a breakthrough (breakthrough)
I’ve got to jump before my chance is gone (is gone)
Because the weight of your love
Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall
You know the weight of your love
Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall
Because the weight of your love
Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall
You know the weight of your love your love (your love)
Hop on the ride bureaucratic machines
Want a name want a hand pledge allegiance to the queen
These fat fiends full of caffeine
When the sun shines I’ll wear sunscreen, now these
Self-help books on the piccadilly line
These nasty looks from the rumours on the grapevine
Now it’s nap time
When I sleep, when I dream, I see me
Writing up a plan on a coffee shop wall
Take the hit like a punching ball
Proving to myself that I made the right call
A wall worth climbing
Open up an envelope an invitation
Any kind of cause for a celebration tonight
The moon seems lost
So when the city starts to haunt you (haunt you)
It’s always darkest just before the dawn (the dawn)
And if I’m gonna make a breakthrough (breakthrough)
I’ve got to jump before my chance is gone (is gone)
Because the weight of your love
Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall
You know the weight of your love
Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall
Because the weight of your love
Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall
You know the weight of your love your love (your love)
Sunrise in the shadows playing hide and seek (playing hide and seek)
So why fear the city when it’s falling at your feet
I’m climbing walls and kicking rumours in the balls
And when it’s time to make that call
I’m not alone
I’m not alone
Because the weight of your love
Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall
You know the weight of your love
Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall
Because the weight of your love
Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall
You know the weight of your love your love
Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall
Because the weight of your love
Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall
You know the weight of your love
Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall
Because the weight of your love
Is breaking my fall, breaking my fall
You know the weight of your love your love
