Watch It Fall Lyrics by Billy Strings

HOME

2019

[Verse 1]
Well, it's not so easy now, though it never was back then
We still can't seem to work this out, but you can still pretend
And these tattered walls and burning bridges quickly start to fall
How long until there's nothing left at all?

[Verse 2]
I've been to California, man, I've seen them city lights
Been stranded in the desert, scorching days and freezing nights
I'll never understand why people try to walk so tall
How long until there's nothing left at all?

[Chorus]
Don't you love what you got used to
When we used to feel so free?
Won't you wait a while in silence, love
Watch it fall with me?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Well, the old men said the great Big Apple's rotten to the core
With Wall Street skimming from the till while no one minds the store
And how could someone get so low in a building so damn tall?
How long until there's nothing left at all?

[Verse 4]
While chunks the size of Delaware are falling off the poles
Our heads are buried in the sand, our leaders dug the hole
Like junkies hooked on fossil fuel, headin' for withdrawal
How long until there's nothing left at all?

[Chorus]
Don't you love what you got used to
When we used to feel so free?
Come and wait a while in silence, love
And watch it fall with me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
Now the answers in our heads to the questions that were asked
It boils up from underground and leads us to the past
To a place that's long forgotten when we had enough for all
How long until there's nothing left at all?

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
Don't you love what you got used to
When we tried to make our stand?
The hourglass is growing empty now
Just to leave a pile of sand (Watch it fall)
