I was walking on a wire Looking down, there was no net Now, I'm standing at your door Me and my last cigarette
Yeah we've been through this before Too late to cover up my tracks Damn the fool who begs for more I'll take my past and paint it black
Now the circus has left town This clown has got to get his feet back on the ground
Chorus: I'm learning how to fall Learning how to take a hit Had to walk before I crawled It was winner take it all Now I'm learning how to fall Yeah, I got the hang of it
I was standing in the light There were faces all around I put my gloves up for a fight One sucker punch and I was down
Chorus
I was flying through the clouds Pucker up, it's time to kiss the ground
