The Wood Brothers Fall Too Fast lyrics

I have been to close
to that flame of desire
I have spoken too soon
words full of fire full of fire

I have fallen too fast
from the top of the tree
bruised by every branch
never landing on my feet on my feet

like a fool im willing
to take that fall again
dont let me fall too fast
I want to fall slowly
I want my fall to last
I want my fall to last

I have drawn too much
from that fountain of tears
and i drowned many times
i was warned but didn't hear didnt hear

I have spoke too much
from a pipe made of bones

I will hide for awhile
then will tumble like a stone
like a stone

like a fool im willing
to take that fall again
dont let me fall too fast
i want to fall slowly
i want my fall to last
i want my fall to last
i want my fall to last

Now im flying too high
with these wings made of wax
and im bound for the plane
but i wont turn back wont turn back

dont let me fall too fast
i want to fall slowly
i want to fall slowly
i want to fall slowly
