He put so much stock in the market

His basket crashed and broke

So he took a train to get away from it all

But some bridges just don't hold



She puts her faith in the future

In the spring the grass grows green

But she tripped and fell when it rained

And now the stains won't come clean



Oh there must be a guarantee

When we're all walking ten feet tall

Oh I know there's got to be

A better way to fall



They drove each other crazy

On their way to the top

And they reached the peak so quickly

They didn't see the drop

(and they couldn't stop)



Oh there must be a guarantee

When we're all walking ten feet tall

Oh I know there's got to be

A better way to fall

A better way to fall



I'm falling on my knees

I'm calling help me, please



I walked with you to the altar

I said I'd sacrifice myself

But I lost my strength in the ring

And took you with me when I fell



Oh there must be a guarantee

When we're all walking ten feet tall

Oh I know there's got to be

A better way to fall

Oh I know there's a guarantee

When we're all walking ten feet tall

Oh I know there's got to be



A better way to fall

A better way to fall

I'm falling on my knees
