How You Learn to Live Alone

Lyrics

First you fall then you fly
 And you believe that you belong up in the sky
 Flap your arms as you run, every revolution
 Brings you closer to the sun
 You fall asleep in motion in uncharted hemispheres
 And wake up with the stars falling down around your ears
 When they hit the ground they're nothing but stones
 That's how you learn to live alone
 That's how you learn to live alone
 Bit by bit, you slip away
 You loose yourself in pieces in the things that you don't say
 You're not here, but you're still there
 The sun goes up, the sun goes down
 And you're not sure you care
 You live inside the false, till you don't recognize the true
 People send you pictures, and you can't believe it's you
 It's been years since your house has felt like home
 That's how you learn to live alone
 That's how you learn to live alone
 It don't feel right, but it's not wrong
 It's just hard to start again this far along
 Brick by brick, the letting go
 As you walk away from everything you know
 You release resistance, lean into the wind
 Till the roof begins to crumble and the rain comes pouring in
 And you sit there in the rubble, till the rubble feels like home
 That's how you learn to live alone
 That's how you learn to live alone
 That's how you learn to live alone
