when you fall
scene one, my apartment there's both of us in bed
camera pans to the nightstand and the pile of scripts unread
motivation you're tempermental always wanting what comes next
you base a lot of your self esteem on the attentions of the opposite sex
when the plot begins to get a little bit crazy
i'm still right there when you call

i'm the one that loved you thru it all
but i won't be there to catch you when you fall

scene two talk show interview, your name is up in lights
people cheer when you appear, you're humble and polite
crossfade to a small cafe where we grab a bite to eat
there's tension, anger, hunger, i haven't seen you in a week
i excuse myself high camera angle i'm crying in the stall

i'm the one that loved you thru it all
but i won't be there to catch you when you fall
no i won't be there to catch you when you fall

many people help us get where we want to be
the sad part is that we forget so easily
now i don't mind being left behind if that's how it's got to be
but when the wave you're riding begins subsiding don't come washing up on my beach

there's a galazy or stars around this lonely little ball
i'm the one that loved you thru it all
but i won't be there to catch you when you fall
no i won't be there to catch you when you fall
