just a little bit further
ha ha, you fell
and you'll keep falling
yeah you'll keep on falling
cause i'll keep on letting you
and so will everyone else
not a care in the world
without an anchor...
I'll carry the weight on my shoulders forever
I'll ruminate on that moment every day
I would never be friends with the family of my killer
but these days you gotta do what you can to get by
so keep your feet on the ground
cause without an anchor you'll be swept up
and carried away in reverse
