He put so much stock in the market
His basket crashed and broke
So he took a train to get away from it all
But some bridges just don't hold
She puts her faith in the future
In the spring the grass grows green
But she tripped and fell when it rained
And now the stains won't come clean
Oh there must be a guarantee
When we're all walking ten feet tall
Oh I know there's got to be
A better way to fall
They drove each other crazy
On their way to the top
And they reached the peak so quickly
They didn't see the drop
(and they couldn't stop)
Oh there must be a guarantee
When we're all walking ten feet tall
Oh I know there's got to be
A better way to fall
A better way to fall
I'm falling on my knees
I'm calling help me, please
I walked with you to the altar
I said I'd sacrifice myself
But I lost my strength in the ring
And took you with me when I fell
Oh there must be a guarantee
When we're all walking ten feet tall
Oh I know there's got to be
A better way to fall
Oh I know there's a guarantee
When we're all walking ten feet tall
Oh I know there's got to be
A better way to fall
A better way to fall
I'm falling on my knees
