Into the Air

[Verse 1]
John broke the news like a prized vase
He said that, ”Things like these just happen
And you best quantify what you're saving
Because most things were designed for wasting”
And you see, I thought that he was the real thing
But I’d traded my eyes for a fantasy
And I'd traded my hands for a nail gun
Locked myself up in a big box

[Chorus]
It falls like water
Tumbles and lands harder
You pick yourself up off the pavement
Evaporate into the air

[Verse 2]
You say you're committed to changing
Well, then how come your laugh does the same thing
That it’s done twenty years in the making?
Lifts and it twirls and it stands

[Chorus]
Before it falls like water
Tumbles and lands harder
You pick yourself up off the pavement
Evaporate into the air

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
—
Do we give it up once we've grasped it?
Bodies all covered in sweat
Feeling for symptoms of grand revelation
Finding that time just escapes us

[Chorus]
As we fall like water
Tumble and land harder
You pick yourself up off the pavement
Evaporate into the air
