Jamestown Story - How You Learn to Live Alone

First you fall, then you fly
And you believe that you belong up in the sky
Flap your arms as you run
Every revolution brings you closer to the sun
You've fallen asleep in motion and uncharted hemispheres
When you wake up with the stars falling down around your ears
And when they hit the ground then nothing but stone
That's how you learn to live alone

Bit by bit, you slip away
And lose yourself in pieces and the things that you don't say
You're not here, but you're still there
The sun goes up, the sun goes down
But you're not sure you care
You live inside the thoughts
Till you don't recognize the truth
People send you pictures and you can't believe it's you
And it's been years since your house has felt like home
That's how you learn to live alone

You don't feel right, but it's not wrong
It's just hard to start again this far along
Brick by brick, the letting go
As you walk away from everything you know
When you release resistance
And you lean into the wind
The roof begins to crumble
And the rain comes pouring in
And you sit there in the rubble
Till the rubble feels like home
That's how you learn to live alone
And that's how you learn to live alone
That's how you learn to live alone
