The Boy Who Fell Lyrics by Oliver Daldry

The Boy Who Fell

0

I once knew a boy who couldn't fly
Tried to swim but couldn't quite fit in
He was made of bone and all alone
He stayed inside but something hurt within
Oh the trees don't fall
No the trees they're old
But they fell on him
Oh they fell on him
I once knew a child who couldn't die
Set aside the Earth, refused to cry for it
Well that same child he held the key
Shut it up inside and kept it just for him
Oh the trees don't fall
But they fell on him
So messed up, so beautiful
His dreams wallow, ignored, unsung
So young and sweet he longed to meet
The older self that grew inside his lungs
He broke it down to work it out
Was so confused that he began to drown
Since getting lost among the 'cost*
Oh no one had the sense to look down
Oh the trees don't fall
No the trees they're old
The trees don't fall
But they fell on him
Why not fall on me?
Why not fall on you?
Because he followed me
Like he follows you
I once knew a boy who couldn't fly
Tried to swim but couldn't quite fit in
Oh he's the boy who lived on a tree
S'just a shout to be fine and hollers (?) to leave
You were always the one with that (?)
You showed no one your song
And told no one your road
Who was I? Who was I?
Just to judge you?
And who were you? Who were you?
Just to love?
Who was I? Who was I?
Just to walk away?
Who were you? Who were you?
Just the boy who fell
From your treetops and large limbs (?) hopelessly lost again
From your treetops and large limbs (?) hopelessly lost
Just the boy who fell
Just the boy who fell
Just the boy who fell
Oh no the boy who fell
Just the boy who fell
Just the boy who fell
I once knew a boy who couldn't fly
The weight of the world pushed him to his knees
He still fell
* 'cost - best guess that makes sense is that this is an abbreviation of 'alecost' which is a type of daisy
