For you.

It's not easy up here, you know?
Watching the little ones fall
We were falling, once
Do you remember?

You fell for me
And I fell for you
And we both fell head over feet
But to be fair, I'd much farther to fall

And what goes up must come down
And I came down
And you came down
And we hit the ground together
But not running
Because running just gets you to the end faster
And neither of us is coordinated enough for that, anyway

And besides that, I think I was broken
From falling so far
And everyone knows the bigger you are the harder you fall
And I'm not so big usually
But I'd had a big breakfast of apprehension
And my wet hair probably weighed me down

But you sang me better
So I kissed your face and sang to you back
And you sang
And I sang
And our music was wonderful for a moment
And life was wonderful for a moment
And everything was wonderful
For a moment

But there's a time a place for wonderfulness
And this was not the time nor the place
For wonderfulness
Or beautifulness
Or any of those sorts of things
And even if you walk instead of run
You reach the end eventually
And things aren't wonderful anymore
You told me
Do you remember?

It's not easy up here, you know?
Watching the little ones fall
Listening to their music and wonderfulness
Wondering why we're up so high when in the end
We all fall down
