Crashing Down Lyrics by David Rovics
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
It can happen in a moment
And sometimes it does
When what could be is
And what shouldn't be was
There are times
When you gotta stand steady
There are other times
When you gotta be ready

The window can open
Seems so wide but
You can never tell
When it's gonna slam shut
One day you're a target
On the firing ranges
The next day all of a sudden
Everything changes

(Chorus)
When it all, when it all, when it all comes crashing down

So easy to feel
Like you're standing still
Then the scene is revealed
And you're on top of the hill
At that point you know
You can let it go by
Or spread your wings
And take to the sky

(Chorus)

When what you know
May all be true
But sometimes all that's real
Is what you do
Some moments are coming
Others have came
And then there are those
When you've just gotta take aim

(Chorus)
It can happen in a moment   And sometimes it does   When what could be is   And what shouldn't be was   There are times   When you gotta stand steady   There are other times   When you gotta be ready      The window can open   Seems so wide but   You can never tell   When it's gonna slam shut   One day you're a target   On the firing ranges   The next day all of a sudden   Everything changes      (Chorus)   When it all, when it all, when it all comes crashing down      So easy to feel   Like you're standing still   Then the scene is revealed   And you're on top of the hill   At that point you know   You can let it go by   Or spread your wings   And take to the sky      (Chorus)      When what you know   May all be true   But sometimes all that's real   Is what you do   Some moments are coming   Others have came   And then there are those   When you've just gotta take aim      (Chorus)
