…a car on ice
You say wild stuff
You never say it twice
You're a mountain to climb
And I keep tumbling down
You're…
…a problem to solve
Who's answer can't be found
You're a mountain to climb
I'd like to keep tumbling down
I like the way you talk
You're voice…
…be found
You're a mountain to climb
I'd like to keep tumbling down
You got me laughing and crying
You got me running and sitting
You…

…You say hello,
nowhere to go,
against the wall,
you start to fall.
Under the heavens floating gently,
a vision I long…
…down.
I touch you heart,
I feel your pain,
and the walls keep tumbling down.
You're not alone,
you're…
…return to calmness...today.
And the walls keep tumbling down,
and the walls keep tumbling down.
You say hello,
nowhere…

…[Verse 1]
Tell me you don't need sympathy
How can you live so cynically?
All of this shade you're giving me
Is killing me…
…killing me
I don't know what you're fighting for
Haven't you reached your pinnacle?
One of these days you're gonna cave…
…need you to try
I'll be there until you find peace in your mind
[Chorus]
Tumbling, tumbling down
Tumbling, tumbling down (down…

…[Pre-Chorus]
Can we go back to say you're mine?
Can't be your friend
I can't pretend that I'm fine
Seeing you with another love
Do…
…down we turn to strangers
[Verse 2]
Haven't seen you in a month now
Wonder if you're missing me
Would you ever break…
…the silence?
Aren't you tired of running free?
[Pre-Chorus]
Can we go back to say you're mine?
Can't be your friend
I can't pretend…

…You started it, you started it, you started it
I never wanted to say it
But maybe I wasn't…
…tumbling down
Know that I still want you around
When our hearts are crushed and we come undone
I believe in us, 'cause you're still…
…in us, 'cause you're still the one
When it all comes tumbling down
I want you around
Baby tumble down with me
Baby tumble down with me…

…[Chorus: Hezekiah]
f*ck how you feel about me
Say what you will about me
But let's see how you feel
When the walls come tumbling…
…on track
And none of it changed just because the presidents black f*ck that
[Chorus: Hezekiah]
f*ck how you feel about me
Say what you will about me…
But let's see how you feel
When the walls come tumbling down
When the walls come tumbling down yeah
When the walls come tumbling down…

…[Chorus: Hezekiah]
Fuck how you feel about me
Say what you will about me
But let's see how you feel
When the walls come tumbling…
…on track
And none of it changed just because the presidents black fuck that
[Chorus: Hezekiah]
Fuck how you feel about me
Say what you will about me…
But let's see how you feel
When the walls come tumbling down
When the walls come tumbling down yeah
When the walls come tumbling down…

…of the mind
You're never not you; that's the trip
And these zombies walk around not comprehending how it feels
To float in a realm where…
…tumbling down
The walls came tumbling down
Came tumbling down
Came tumbling down
[Verse 2]
You guys know
That no one outside us'll…
…down
(Left taste, smell, touch, sight and sound.)
... And the walls came tumbling down
(Everything was never not nothing, and you're never not you.)…

…of the mind
You're never not you; that's the trip
And these zombies walk around not comprehending how it feels
To float in a realm where…
…tumbling down
The walls came tumbling down
Came tumbling down
Came tumbling down
[Verse 2]
You guys know
That no one outside us'll…
…tumbling down
(Left taste, smell, touch, sight and sound.)
... And the walls came tumbling down
(Everything was never not nothing, and you're never not you.)…

…tumbling down
Know that I'll still want you around
When our hearts are crushed
And we come undone
I'll believe in us 'cause you're…
…are crushed
And we come undone
I believe in us 'cause you're still the one
When it all comes tumbling down
I want you around
[Bridge…
…never wanted to say this
But baby I'll take the fall
When it all comes tumbling down
Know that I'll still want you around
When our…

…into words of gold
You say I have eyes like shooting stars
Bet you don't know what colour they are
It's hard to hate someone so charming…
I hate myself instead for falling
In your spell that's so disarming
Should have known I'm digging my own pit
You say you…
…and me are meant to be
If I hold on am I too naïve?
You're a bad bad boy, a bad bad choice
You're my weekest point and I'm tumbling down…

…[Verse 1: Hayd]
I see you're falling slow
You think you're safe, but you're on a rope
I'm scared 'cause I don't know…
…: Hayd]
I see that you're slipping and your mind is missing
There's vacancy in your eyes
You're tumbling through the sky
I see that you're…
…slipping and your mind is missing
There's vacancy in your eyes
You're tumbling through the sky

…this kaleidoscope
Tumbling, in a world of swirl
Rumbling, in a world of swirl
In a world of swirl
In this cloud of dust, you've got to keep steady
Hang on you…
…must, you better get ready
Over the ledge, ripping the curl
Riding the edge off into to twirl
Tumbling…
…be confessin' hey, don't be cruel
Just callin' attention you probably know
Don't hold on to nothin', it's time to let go
Say baby I want ya, I'm…

…as ours
[Chorus]
And if our world comes tumbling down
I never could forgive myself for leaving out
You're the one
You are the only one…
…could forgive myself for leaving out
You're the one
You are the only one
[Outro]
And if our world comes tumbling down…
…(The world comes tumbling down)
I never could forgive myself, I'll say it now
(I never could forgive myself)
You're the one
You are the only one…

…[Hook: Jam Baxter]
I ain't gotta talk, I've just gotta sit here and watch while these rocks come tumbling down, down
I ain't…
…gotta talk, I just gotta sit here and watch 'till these pebbles all cover the ground, ground
[Verse 1: Jam Baxter]
But I will say…
…steeper if you're sliding down it
And the nerds will turn reaper
Its really quite astoundin'
I'm the early bird eater
[?] get devoured
If you…
