Out of The Rye
I am falling toward you
I tripped out of the rye
Not destined to land
Not scared to try
And fall a little faster
To catch you as we drop
To hold you once again
Whether we're fallen or not
But you fell out first
And I'd always known
That I couldn't make it
In this world alone
Without a body to meet
Around a turn in the field
A kiss on the face
Innocent, but real
Now I'm holding on
To what I don't have
Blind to the future
With my eyes on the past
I'm looking for something
That I'm not gonna find
We never knew what we had
Until we fell from the rye
