How You Learn to Live Alone

First you fall and then you fly

And you believe that you belong in the sky

Flap your arms as you run

Every revelation brings you closer to the sun

You fall asleep in motion in uncharted hemisphers

And you wake up with the stars falling down around your ears

And 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 lose 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

But you're not sure you care

You live inside the false till you don't recognize the true

People send you pictures, but you can't believe it's you

And it's been years since your house's 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 ths far along

Brick by brick, the letting go

As you walk away from everything you know

When you release resistance and you lean into the wind

Till the roof begins to crumble and the rain comes pouring in

And you sit there in the rubble until the rubble feels like home

That's how you learn to live alone

That's how you learn to live alone

And that's how you learn to live alone
