"Ready To Fall" lyrics - RISE AGAINST

RISE AGAINST
"Ready To Fall"
(Rise Against / Tim McIlrath)

Hold on slow down again from the top now and tell me everything
I know I've been gone for what seems like forever
But I'm here now waiting
To convince you that I'm not a ghost or a stranger
But closer than you think
She said just go on
To what you pretend is your life
But please don't die on me

[Pre-Chorus:]
Wings won't take me
Heights don't faze me
So take a step
But don't look down
Take a step

[Chorus:]
Now I'm standing on the rooftop, ready to fall
I'm think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong
I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall

Perpetual motion, the image won't focus
A blur is all that's seen
But here in this moment like the eye of the storm
It all came clear to me
I found a shoulder to lean on
An infallible reason to live all by itself
I took one last look from the heights that I once loved
And then I ran like hell

[Pre-Chorus:]
Wings won't take me
Heights don't faze me
So take a step
But don't look down
Take a step

[Chorus:]
Now I'm standing on the rooftop, ready to fall
I'm think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong
I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall

[Bridge:]
I count the times that I've been sorry
I know, I know
Now my compassion slowly drowns
I know, I know
If there's a time these walls could guard you
I know, I know
Then let that time be right now

[Chorus:]
Now I'm standing on the rooftop, ready to fall
I'm think I'm at the edge now but I could be wrong
I'm standing on a rooftop ready to fall

[Outro:]
Now I'm standing on the rooftop
Now I'm standing on the rooftop
Now I'm standing on the rooftop
Now I'm standing on the rooftop
