She says today is gonna be the last one   I know there's never gonna be an easy way out   She's rolling 'round the town with a fast gun   And I know that I can't be there to catch her when she falls      Well, half way down is half way out of here   Either halfway drowned or half way 'round the pier   When you're that far gone      I walked the steps to her apartment with the window by the shore   And saw her curled on the tile through a crack in the door   I've been searching for the words I don't know how to say   I've been searching for the words to make it go away      I spent all of last night and the night before that   With my feet in the sand, the wind's on my back   Watching a ship sail out to a blue wide sea   There must be more than this with a kiss we can't see      Well, half way down is half way out of here   We're either half way drowned or half way 'round the pier      I can't break her, I can't break her fall   She's lying on the back room, crying on the bathroom floor   Singing I can't take it, I can't take any more   Just one reason, one to believe in that's not that far gone   Not that far gone      I held the back of her head and laid her in the bed   And watched the sheets raise and fall to the rhythm of her breath   Turn the lock on the handle and slipped down the stairs   And the cover of the night with diamonds in the air      I'll say a prayer in my breath and take a left at the water   To the rhythm of my feet, a sister and a daughter   To the rhythm of the sea and the breeze in the autumn   As it blows through the trees my hands into the water      Well, half way down is half way out of here   We're either half way drowned or half way 'round the pier      I can't break her, I can't break her fall   She's lying on the back room, crying on the bathroom floor   Singing I can't take it, I can't take any more   Just one reason, one to believe in that's not that far gone      I can't break her, I can't break her fall   She's lying in the back room, crying on the bathroom floor   And I can't take it, I can't take anymore      She says today is gonna be the last time   And I know there's never gonna be an easy way out
