Celebrating the dysfuntional desperation of needy emotional enablers wherever they may be.

Story behind the song
Youve made your loneliness an art;
Invented the science of despair.
Discovered vast expanses of the aching heart.
And you never take me there.
Lyrics
When I Fall
2003 Don Shearer
Verse 1
Youve made your loneliness an art;
Invented the science of despair.
Discovered vast expanses of the aching heart.
And you never take me there.
You have mastered the illusion you need no one else at all,
Still I wait and watch your high wire act;
You know I wish youd fall
Into my arms, I will hold you.
My embrace will enfold you
With the slightest hope of just one caress,
Light as a whisper on a breeze.
If you break down and cry, I will mend you.
Risk all and try, I will defend you,
And if you try your wings, Ill set you free,
I can never hold you down.
If you cant believe that you could have me,
Or me wanting you at all:
Just reach in deep and touch my fire.
You'll see yourself in my desire;
Im up there on that thin, high wire.
Won't you catch me
When I fall?
Verse 2
The stage is set for your grand entrance.
I know my role perhaps too well.
I play your clown six shows and twice on Sundays.
Its just another cold day in hell.
When I try to improvise you act like youre above it all,
And as the chorus sings I want to cut your strings,
You know I wish youd fall
Into my arms, I will hold you.
My embrace will enfold you
Like a melody sung soft and sad
About a moth drawn to the flame.
Just tell me lies, I will believe you.
Drop your disguise, I will receive you.
Realize I can't deceive you,
You see my heart out on my sleeve.
You think Im a fool to bare my soul at the risk of losing all.
Are you too hurt and cold to feel romance?
Are you bold enough to take the chance?
You hold the strings that make me dance.
Won't you catch me
When I fall?
