Lyrics The Fall - Against the Waves

Ask if there′s an end in sight
I wish I had an answer
You should've asked me back
When I was bold and young
Cause I had everything
And all I wanted was more
When you′re sick of standing you just fall

This is what I believe in
Gets me through all the darkest nights
This is what I've been dreaming
To keep me on the surface

But I'm here to stay
Every breath I take I break
Will it be okay?
Cause I won′t pretend
Pretend I care where I land
Done pretending I care where I land
Done pretending I care

I walk along the edge and flirt with how deep
I could sink into this nothingness
But maybe I′ll
Maybe I'll relinquish
But a swan song would be fitting

But I′m here to stay
Every breath I take I break
Will it be okay?
Cause I won't pretend
Pretend I care where I land

Now just one thing′s for sure
I'd enjoy the view from the fall
Aware of how it ends
And I can′t help but watch

I close my eyes and dream of a garden of bones
Eerie but familiar, rotten to the core
It drags me down and under
Watch me dig for the better old part of me

But I'm here to stay
Every breath I take I break
Will it be okay?
Cause I won't pretend
Pretend I care where I land

This is what I believe in
Gets me through all the darkest nights
This is what I′ve been dreaming
To keep me on the surface

This is what I believe in
This is what I′ve been dreaming
To keep me on the surface
