The Fall Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Maybe I'm broken, maybe I'm wrong
I could've spoken sooner than I should've
Only the good die old
That's what they told me, but I don't know
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I'm breaking up with myself
Maybe I'm thinking
I should just keep to the things that I've been told
Wait for the colors to turn to gold
[Chorus]
Do you know? Do you know?
You're all I know, you're all I know
When everything comes crashing down
You're all I know, you're all I know
[Post-Chorus]
I'm ready for the fall
I'm ready for everything that I believed in to drift away
Ready for the leaves
Ready for the colors to burn to gold and crumble away
[Verse 2]
Maybe I'm destined to be distraught
Always a reason, breaking me down to my
Knees in the dead of night
I keep on praying to see the light, oh-oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I'm breaking up with myself
Maybe I'm thinking
I should just keep to the things that I've been told
Wait for the colors to turn to gold
[Chorus]
Do you know? Do you know?
You're all I know, you're all I know
When everything comes crashing down
You're all I know, you're all I know
Do you know? Do you know?
You're all I know, you're all I know
When everything comes crashing down
You're all I know, you're all I know
[Post-Chorus]
I'm ready for the fall
I'm ready for everything that I believed in to drift away
Ready for the leaves
Ready for the colors to burn to gold and crumble away
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
You were the one, you were the one
You were the one who helped me see
You were the one, you were the one
Oh, you gave it all to me
You were the one, you were the one
You were the one who helped me see
You were the one, you were the one
Oh, you gave it all to me
You were the one, you were the one
You were the one who helped me see
You were the one, you were the one
Oh, you gave it all to me
You were the one, you were the one
You were the one who helped me see
You were the one, you were the one
Oh, you gave it all to me
You were the one, you were the one
You were the one who helped me see
You were the one, you were the one
Oh, you gave it all to me
[Breakdown]
You were the one, you were the one
(Do you know? Do you know?)
You were the one who helped me see
(You're all I know, you're all I know)
You were the one, you were the one
(Do you know? Do you know?)
Oh, you gave it all to me
(You're all I know, you're all I know)
[Outro]
I'm ready for the fall
Ready for the leaves
Ready for the colors to burn to gold and crumble away

Why close the album and all Smoke + Mirror concerts with "The Fall"
When all is left, with a clean slate, the only thing that matters is his wife and his daughter. “Those are the things that I know, and that, to me, was the resolution of the album. The resolution is that I don’t know the answers. I don’t know which religion is right – I don’t know that stuff. But wh...
