Tumbling

from Carry Us On by Attic Wolves

lyrics

Once upon a happier time
You and I had our hill to climb
It happened in prose but I'll sing it in rhyme for now
We had a goal and we had a task
To ascend to the top and to fill up our flask
Is one little drink still too much to ask for us

And you came tumbling down
And I came running after

Past the point now where reasoning helps
(But it’s alright now)
Pushed beyond malice and pulled into something else
(But it’s alright now)
And I'm missing the days where I missed you at all
(But it’s alright now)
And so I go tumbling down after you

Pick up my ball, pick up my chain
Pick up my chin and I start out again
But this whole tale is nothing but pain for me
Yeah we ambled up, hand in hand
And the scrapes on our knees help us understand
That this journey we're on is not quite so grand anymore

And we came crumbling down
And there was no “thereafter”

Past the point now where reasoning helps
(But it’s alright now)
Pushed beyond malice and pulled into something else
(But it’s alright now)
And I'm missing the days where I missed you at all
(But it’s alright now)
And so I go tumbling down after you

Don't fall away
Don’t fall away
Don’t fall away
After me

And I'm no longer battered, tattered or torn
My heart is not broken just incredibly worn
And there's no need to cry and no need to mourn for you
