It Ends With A Fall Lyrics - Down The River Of Golden Dreams - Okkervil River

Wish I could remember why it mattered to me. 

It doesn't matter to me. 

It doesn't matter to me anymore. 

Now that you're feeling fine, 

I'll admit that - though I know it's coming down, 

and see it shattering me - it doesn't matter to me, 

and I'm not sadder for seeing it come. 

I'm not going to run. 

I will just come when I am called. 

You want to cut me off 

because I took too much, 

but don't leave me alone. 

Take off your scarves, your winter coat. 

The night's too cold. 

When we met I should have said 

you're like a sister to me, 

how all that kiss her just seem 

like puny suitors I can see through, 

how none will do, not for you, 

it might as well just be us two. 

And when I pulled you by the jacket 

from the clattering street, 

you started flattering me, 

you started saying I was so strong. 

String me along, but I can't become all that I'm called. 

And I can't claim to know 

what makes love die or grow, 

but I can still take control 

and so refuse to just go home, 

back down the hall. 

And as I crawl, 

as finally all the false confetti blooms up in this attic room, 

I'm going make my stand. 

I want to see both of your hands put down the phone. 

I won't let you go, 

although the moment stole my self-control 

from us all and now it can only end with a fall.
