This song focuses on Diana’s therapy session, as her doctor encourages her to face her demons and get better, while her son realizes he’s losing his grip on his mother’s mind. Meanwhile, Natalie is backstage her piano recital, mentioned in “Just Another Day”, with Henry, waiting for her parents to a...
[DOCTOR MADDEN]
Walk with me, walk with me
[DIANA, spoken]
Okay, walking.
[DOCTOR MADDEN]
Go all the way down
Down a long flight of stairs
[DIANA, spoken]
Stairs...
[DOCTOR MADDEN]
Go step-by-step into the darkness down there
[DIANA, spoken]
Should we turn on a light? You know, with the stairs.
[DOCTOR MADDEN]
Walk with me, down a hall
A hall that you know
At the end there's a door
It's a door that you've never laid eyes on before
Open the door
Open the door
(spoken)
Can you hear me Diana?
[DIANA, spoken]
Yes.
[DOCTOR MADDEN, spoken]
Are you nervous?
[DIANA, spoken]
No.
[DOCTOR MADDEN, spoken]
Good. Now
(sung)
Make up your mind to explore yourself
Make up your mind
You have stories to tell
We'll search in your past
For what sorrows may last
Then make up your mind to be well
[DAN, spoken]
Di, you come home from these sessions in tears. Is this helping or... Di? Di?
[DIANA, spoken]
We were both undergrads - architecture. The baby wasn't planned. Neither was the marriage. I had always expected to be too busy but...when the baby came it all seemed to make sense, until-- until...
[DOCTOR MADDEN, spoken]
Until?
[DAN]
He's not here
He's not here
Love, I know
[DAN, DIANA, & NATALIE]
You know
[DOCTOR MADDEN]
Make up your mind that you're strong enough
Make up your mind
Let the truth be revealed
Admit what you've lost
And live with the cost
At times it does hurt to be healed
[GABE]
Catch me, I'm falling
[DOCTOR MADDEN, spoken]
In our first session you told me--
[GABE]
Catch me, I'm falling
[DOCTOR MADDEN, spoken]
--that talking through your history--
[GABE]
Faster than anyone should
[GABE & DIANA]
Catch me, I'm falling
[DOCTOR MADDEN, spoken]
--it feels like it's about someone else.
[GABE & DIANA]
Please hear me calling
[DOCTOR MADDEN, spoken]
Make it about you.
[GABE & DIANA]
Catch me, I'm falling for good
[DIANA, spoken]
We had Natalie to-- And I know she knows. I couldn't hold her in the hospital. I couldn't let myself hold her.
[DOCTOR MADDEN, spoken]
That's the first time you mentioned Natalie in weeks of therapy.
[NATALIE]
She's not there
[NATALIE & GABE]
She's not there
[NATALIE, HENRY, GABE, & DAN]
She's not there
[DOCTOR MADDEN]
Make up your mind
You want clarity
Take what you know
And then make it make sense
Just face what you fear
And soon it comes clear
The visions are just your defense
[DIANA & GABE]
Catch me I'm falling I'm alive
[DOCTOR MADDEN, NATALIE, DAN, & GABE]
Make up your mind Take a look
You can live at last He's not here Take a look I'm alive
[DOCTOR MADDEN, DIANA, & NATALIE]
Make up your mind to be fully alive Falling The invisible girl
[DOCTOR MADDEN, DIANA & NATALIE, DAN, & GABE]
Embrace what's inside Alive
Falling Replace what has died Love
Then make up your mind It's Alive
You'll survive Time to go
[DIANA, GABE, NATALIE & DAN]
Catch me, I'm falling
Catch me, I'm falling
Flying head first into fate
Catch me, I'm falling
Please hear me calling
Catch me before it's too late
Catch me before it's too late
Catch me before it's too late
Catch me, I'm falling
Catch me, I'm falling
Catch me, I'm falling
