Ready To Fall

Rise Against · The Sufferer & The Witness [2006]

Hold on slow down again from the top now and tell me everything

I know I've been gone for what seems like forever

But I'm here now waiting

To convince you that I'm not a ghost or a stranger

But closer than you think

"She said just go on to what you

pretend is your life but

Please don't die on me"



Wings won't take me

Heights don't phase me

So take a step

But don't look down

Take a step



Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall

I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong

I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall



Perpetual motion the image won't focus

A blur is all that's seen

But here in this moment like the eye of a storm

It all came clear to me

I found a shoulder to lean on

An infallible reason to live all by itself

I took one last look from the heights that I once loved

And then I ran like hell



Wings won't take me

Heights don't phase me

So take a step

But don't look down

Take a step



Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall

I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong

I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall



I count the times that I've been sorry

(I know, I know)

While my compassion slowly drowns

(I know, I know)

If there's a time these walls could guard you

(I know, I know)

Then let that time be right now



Now I'm standing on the rooftop

Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall

I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall

I think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong

I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall



Now I'm standing on the rooftop (ready to fall)

Now I'm standing on the rooftop (ready to fall)

Now I'm standing on the rooftop (ready to fall)

Now I'm standing on the rooftop ready to fall
