Season 2 of my rewatch session of “Nashville” has started and I’ve always loved this song. I’ve chosen to cover the first 2 verses. (I think I’m really getting into this “cover” thing - perfect opportunity to work on my vocal/piano skills.)
Lyrics
First you fall, then you fly
And you believe that you belong
Up in the sky
Flap your arms, as you run
Every revolution brings you closer to the sun
You fall asleep in motion, in unchartered
Hemispheres
And you wake up with the stars
Fallin’ down around your ears
And when they hit the ground
They’re nothin’ but stones
That’s how you learn to live alone
That’s how you learn to live alone
Bit by bit, you slip away
You lose yourself in pieces
By the things that you don’t say
You’re not here, but you’re still there
The sun goes up and the sun goes down
But you’re not sure you care
You live inside the false
Till you recognize the truth
People send you pictures
But you can’t believe it’s you
Seems forever since your house
Has felt like home
That’s how you learn to live alone
That’s how you learn to live alone
