Lead singer Jonny Hawkins wrote this song about his sister Jenna, who suffers from bipolar disorder and has schizophrenic tendencies.
Their mother was diagnosed with cancer, and despite fighting that, she stuck around to take care of Jenny for another year before her death (hence the lines ‘See you...
[Verse 1]
A little sleep, a little slumber
A little folding of the hands
Left you weak, left you hungry
When there's supply, you still demand
You're beginning to drag the ones you love down
Will this phase ever end?
A thousand arms to hold you
But you won't reach for any hands, 'cause
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't feel like I'm getting through to you
Let me paint this clear
Life is short, my dear
See your mother here
Her last painful year
I wish you only knew
She stuck around for you
She stuck around for you
[Chorus]
Maybe you should just fall
And leave the world and lose it all
And if that's what you need to finally see
I'll be with you through it all
[Verse 2]
Bring on the pills, roll the dollar bill
Medicating will never heal
Relapse, rehab, repeat
Always thinking about the me, me, me
Self-destruct, spiral down
Until your want becomes your need
Please get up like I know you can
Or forever love the fall, 'cause
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't feel like I'm getting through to you
Let me paint this wheel
Life is short, my dear
See your mother here
Her last painful year
I wish you only knew
She stuck around for you
She stuck around for you
[Chorus]
Maybe you should just fall (Just fall)
And leave the world and lose it all (Leave the world and lose it all)
And if that's what you need to finally see
I'll be with you through it all (I'll be with you through it all)
[Bridge]
I can't stand to see you down
Strung out, off the wagon, and unwound
But steady, steady, oh God, Jenny, Jenny
(I can't) Bear to hear the sound
Of your body, body hitting the ground
I can't stand to see you down
Strung out, off the wagon, and unwound
But steady, steady, oh God, Jenny, Jenny
I can't bear to hear the sound
Of your body, body hitting the ground
Oh, Jenny, Jenny, Jenny (She stuck around for you)
She stuck around for you (She stuck around for you)
[Chorus]
Maybe you should just fall
Leave the world and lose it all
If that's what you need to finally see
She loved you through it all (She loved you)
Maybe you should just fall (Leave the world and lose it all)
(All) If that's what you need to finally see
She loved you through it all
[Outro]
I'll be with you through it all
