Falter - Jake Morley

falter

i’m a statue by the water

forever shaping up to dive

forever pausing on the verge

headstrong

where has all that old courage gone

just like a castle in the sand

i’m made in the shape of strength yet still i crumble

headstrong

i always used to be so headstrong

but i lost it where did i go wrong?

all i seem to do is falter

falter

tip-toe'd the wrong way down a corridor of creaky boards

is it me or did i hear a sound?

see a silhouette?

maybe this could be the end?

be headstrong

and taste it with a curious tongue

cos staring at the little shards of checkered light through blurry fingers

it’s all a part of this, a part of being alive

headstrong

I always used to be so headstrong

Yeh I lost it where did I go wrong?

all I seem to do is falter

headstrong

I always used to be so headstrong

but I lost it where did I go wrong?

all I seem to do is falter
