Don't wait for me to leave   Just pretend that I'm not here   Our love is a fly on the wall   Slowing down just before the fall      Try to hang on   Baby, it's a long way down   Baby, it's a long way down      Between each toll of the bell   When shadows move themselves   In the end, it's not how you played   It's what you find while sweeping up the stage      When the idiot's gone   Baby, it's a long way down   Baby, it's a long way down      He's under your bed   He's singing you a song   Baby, it's a long way down      I could vanish   Into thin air   To join the ones you fear   What's the damage?   We cut a deal   Let's give it time   Time to let it heal      Hey, what if I'm wrong?   Going out of my head   Into your arms      Baby, it's a long way down   It's a long way down   It's a long way down   Baby, it's a long way down
