She's lying in the back room, crying on the bathroom floor
We're either half way drowned or half way 'round the pier
I walked the steps to her apartment with the window by the shore
Well, half way down is half way out of here
We're either half way drowned or half way 'round the pier
Either halfway drowned or half way 'round the pier
And I know that I can't be there to catch her when she falls
She's lying on the back room, crying on the bathroom floor
She's lying on the back room, crying on the bathroom floor
With my feet in the sand, the wind's on my back
And I can't take it, I can't take anymore
To the rhythm of the sea and the breeze in the autumn
I can't break her, I can't break her fall
When you're that far gone
Well, half way down is half way out of here
I've been searching for the words to make it go away
And the cover of the night with diamonds in the air
Just one reason, one to believe in that's not that far gone
Just one reason, one to believe in that's not that far gone
There must be more than this with a kiss we can't see
As it blows through the trees my hands into the water
Not that far gone
I held the back of her head and laid her in the bed
Singing I can't take it, I can't take any more
Well, half way down is half way out of here
I can't break her, I can't break her fall
To the rhythm of my feet, a sister and a daughter
She's rolling 'round the town with a fast gun
Watching a ship sail out to a blue wide sea
She says today is gonna be the last time
And saw her curled on the tile through a crack in the door
Singing I can't take it, I can't take any more
I spent all of last night and the night before that
I'll say a prayer in my breath and take a left at the water
And watched the sheets raise and fall to the rhythm of her breath
Turn the lock on the handle and slipped down the stairs
I've been searching for the words I don't know how to say
I can't break her, I can't break her fall
