The higher the mountain, the harder the fall

Looking for blood at the scene of the crime

It's been running in circles or nothing at all

For a long, long, long time.

Boxing at shadows and listening at doors

Pushing the buttons and pulling the blinds

We haven't been honest or clever or sure

In a long, long, long time

It's been a long, long, long time.

Funny how the heart of everyone

Is the part you'll never know

Funny how the heart of holding on

Is letting go.

(Letting go, letting go)

The higher the mountain, the harder the fall

Turning the corner and looking for signs

You leap in the dark while I wait for the call

It's been a long, long, long time.

Out of the furnace and into the flames

Holding a candle and crossing the line

We haven't been playing with fire or rain

In a long, long, long time

For a long, long, long time

It's been a long, long, long time.

Funny how the heart of everyone

Is the part you'll never know

Funny how the heart of holding on

Is letting go.

Funny how the heart of everyone

(Save me the last word)

Is the part you'll never know

Funny how the heart of holding on

(Save me the last word)

Is letting go.

Funny how the heart of everyone

(Save me the last word)

Is the part you'll never know

Funny how the heart of holding on

(Save me the last word)

Is letting go.

(Letting go, letting go

The higher the mountain, the harder the fall)

(Letting go, letting go

The higher the mountain, the harder the fall)
