A mother has her baby boys and a father Doesn't call And from this saddening parody Someone will have to crawl Yes crawl through all the dark memories Everyone and all 'Cause there's just one way That you can stand
Too many ways to fall
All we have is here and now Tomorrow may not come true There's a million people who walk this ground Who might steal your wish from you A million people maybe not A human one at all
There's just one way that we can stand Too many ways to fall
Well they might be on the fire escape They might be down the hall They might be watching every Move you make Through the pinhole in the wall They're sworn to their duty And they stand so proud and tall They say it's nothing personal It's just a job that's all

Too many ways to fall
So when you wake up in the bushes Passed out on the lawn And suddenly it dawns on you That mother wasn't wrong It all comes back like déjà vu You just can't help but recall 'Cause there's just one way that we can stand
