I Fell Down Lyrics - Singles - Boy Goliath

If I fell from the top of a river 

Would you watch until I hit the ground 

Counting my fingers and teeth 

Ounce for ounce, and pound for pound 

Water rising and forcing a shiver 

Fills my mouth 'till I'm new to make sound 

Forearms bruised, and blackened, and weak 

where you squeezed and said I won't let you drown 

If my lungs start failing to deliver 

oxygen that I breath to my brain 

Then I promise that I'll leave the room 

So you don't see me going insane 

And my fingers sit still in their quiver 

While my eyes rest intent and mundane 

While your face watches worried and pale 

your lips whisper don't do this again
