1:11 AM (make a wish)

Another long day, another late night. But I feel good now. I feel vigilant. The sun is going to rise in a few hours. Maybe I'll wait for it. Maybe I'll close my eyes. But if I close my eyes, I'll miss it; I'll miss the sunrise. How often do I miss things? How often are my eyes closed? I don't know. 

Falling isn't as bad as it seems.
You let go, let go, loosen your hold,
Because there's nothing left to show
And the ground beneath your feet
Is soft, and it slowly crumbles away.

Let's blur the line of reality and dreams,
Close your eyes, close your eyes,
A thousand falls from only one try,
One try that makes your heart stop
But another day keeps you breathing. 

Climb up on your roof and stand,
The sun comes up, comes up slowly
With the world that begins glowing
While you wait, it's always waiting
For you to move, to let you down. 

And sentimental rain drops like sand,
From a weary sky, a weary sky,
Open up the fist that intertwines
The love and distress you're holding,
Because falling isn't as bad as it seems.
