The Boy Who Fell letra

I once knew a boy who couldn't fly
Tried to swim but couldn't quite fit in
He was made of bone and all alone
He stayed inside but something hurt within

Oh, the trees don't fall
No, the trees they're old
But they fell on him
Oh, they fell on him

I once knew a child who couldn't die
Set aside the Earth, refused to cry for it
Well that same child he held the key
Shut it up inside and kept it just for him

Oh, the trees don't fall
But they fell on him

So messed up, so beautiful
His dreams wallow, ignored, unsung
So young and sweet he longed to meet
The older self that grew inside his lungs

He broke it down to work it out
Was so confused that he began to drown
Since getting lost among the 'cost
Oh, no one had the sense to look down

Oh, the trees don't fall
No, the trees they're old
The trees don't fall
But they fell on him
Why not fall on me?
Why not fall on you?
Because he followed me
Like he follows you

I once knew a boy who couldn't fly
Tried to swim but couldn't quite fit in

Oh he's the boy who lived on a tree
S'just a shout to be fine and hollers to leave
You were always the one with that
You showed no one your song
And told no one your road

Who was I? Who was I?
Just to judge you?
And who were you? Who were you?
Just to love?
Who was I? Who was I?
Just to walk away?
Who were you? Who were you?
Just the boy who fell
From your treetops and eye gems hopelessly lost again
From your treetops and eye gems hopelessly lost

Just the boy who fell
Just the boy who fell
Just the boy who fell
Oh no the boy who fell
Just the boy who fell
Just the boy who fell

I once knew a boy who couldn't fly
The weight of the world pushed him to his knees
But he still fell
