Falter Lyrics - Lori Mckenna

I went to high school with that kid 

He was even strange back then 

The type whose eyes don't leave the floor 

Blend in with the cement 

Well, I felt so bad for that kid 

One day I saw his face turn green 

And as he tumbled to the floor 

The thought of reaching out never occurred to me 

Why don't we open up 

Knowing that we all falter 

And when will we learn 

To reach out for each other 

He lived out on the edge of town 

And I'm pretty sure he had a brother 

It seemed that boy could walk for days 

I suspect to avoid his mother

And I always knew he had it bad 

Tougher than any of us others did 

Still I never asked him how he was doing 

What could I do? I was just a kid 

And why don't we open up 

Knowing that we all falter 

And when will we learn 

To reach out for each other 

So, now he's the new town bum 

He talks to himself and picks up cans all day 

And when my kids ask me about him 

What'll I say? What'll I say? 

And why don't we open up 

Knowing that we, we all falter 

And when will we learn 

When will we learn to open up 

Knowing that we all falter

When will we learn 

I said, when will we learn 

When will we learn 

To reach out for each other
