If I Ain`t Falling Lyrics

If I Ain`t Falling lyrics

Paul Foglino 

It`s getting late and I`m getting torn
Between a lonely night and an ugly morn
I don`t even know if I can hold my own
But what can I do for you?
My feet are hurting from walking on a wire
But I can`t be a lover if I won`t be a liar
I`m not too sure how it`s supposed to be
But I can`t love nothing that don`t love me 

Pick my feet up off the ground
No floor below and no walls around me
Ain`t afraid of dying
If I ain`t falling I must be flying
You`re getting bored when you`re living fast
You can only be sure when your time is past
A well laid plan is all right if 
You`re a dying man or a working stiff
I can`t keep walking in my father`s shoes
Doing the sidewalk shuffle to the highway blues
If I ain`t working from sun to sun
I`m never gonna hate the things I`ve done
I`ve talked to people who say they`ve seen it all
Who say that I`d only listen I would heed the call
If you think you can believe it cause you`ve seen it with your eyes

Just because you ain`t burning, you think it`s paradise
Faith is forever and fame is temporary
But you can`t cross the Jordan on the Staten Island Ferry
You might as well eat it if you`ve already picked it
Cause you can`t ride to heaven on a round trip ticket
