Footing

This song was featured in a documentary not too long ago. I kind of forgot about until recently. I wrote it in 2006. First song I wrote after Nathan Davis passed away.

"Footing"
All lyrics by Grant Walker, All Rights Reserved

And you sit high above your golden sun
And you say that nothing here is worth taking away
Run away from all your superstitious fears
And I'll stay and take the blame for all your filthy lies

But here I stand and here I fall
My iron cold back up against the wall
And I have loved, and I have lost
It's the in between that hurts the most
Yeah... Yeah... Yeah..

And you say that I was never worth the wait
Mary Jane she stays to comfort me inside your wake
Now awake from all these horrifying dreams
Mistakes are what makes us human anyway

But here we stand and here we fall
With no direction at all
Now some are lost and some are found
But to forgive is the most profound
Yeah... Yeah... Yeah...

Caroline, You're tangling me inside your pines
But it's fine, I know my muse lies deep inside
So I'll stay and work a little harder on my play
Don't be late, or I leave you inside of my wake

But here I stand and here I fall
With stone cold roses up against the wall
Now I have loved and I have lost
I'm happier now you're not around
Yeah... Yeah... Yeah...
