How You Learn to Live Alone

First you fall and then you fly
And you believe that you belong in the sky

Flap your arms as you run
Every revelation brings you closer to the sun

You fall asleep in motion in uncharted hemisphers
And you wake up with the stars falling down around your ears
And when they hit the ground they're nothing but stones
That's how you learn to live alone
That's how you learn to live alone

Bit by bit, you slip away
You lose yourself in pieces in the things that you don't say

You're not here
But you're still there
The sun goes up, the sun goes down
But you're not sure you care

You live inside the false till you don't recognize the true
People send you pictures, but you can't believe it's you
And it's been years since your house's felt like home
That's how you learn to live alone
That's how you learn to live alone

It don't feel right, but it's not wrong
It's just hard to start again ths far along

Brick by brick, the letting go
As you walk away from everything you know

When you release resistance and you lean into the wind
Till the roof begins to crumble and the rain comes pouring in
And you sit there in the rubble until the rubble feels like home
That's how you learn to live alone
That's how you learn to live alone
And that's how you learn to live alone
