All the Way Down - Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglová

When you're riding Down (at night) at night But (you) say The only way to sum it up Is falling roller-coaster rush I'm doing things that I don't do So comfortable when I'm with you Kinda took me by surprise I love it and I don't know why You shot it and you got it And I don't wanna fight it So hold me while we're taking this ride You, when it's good I'm questioning You, then I stop to take it in Is my head in the way? 'Cause my heart can't explain Where we going now? Build it up, we tear down Cared before but baby Now, I don't give a fuck All the way down On a one way to you All the way down No matter what you're going through I'm staying over at yours tonight I call in late, let's exercise There's something buried in your eyes Draws me in and I can't hide I'm clocking in today, I'm on one I came in hard, I hope you don't run I tell him all about it, but even I would doubt it They never seen the things that you do You, when it's good I'm questioning You, then I stop to take it in Is my head in the way? 'Cause my heart can't explain Where we going now? Build it up, we tear down Cared before but baby Now, I don't give a fuck All the way down On a one way to you All the way down No matter what you're going through Take it in, Take it in All I wanna do is Stay with it, stay with it And I know that you won't Play with it, play with it Are you ready? Hold on Take it in, Take it in All I wanna do it Stay with it, stay with it And I know that you won't Play with it Hold on When it's good, I'm questioning You (you), then I start to take it in Is my head in the way? 'Cause my heart can't explain Where we going now? Build it up, we tear down Cared before but baby Now, I don't give a fuck All the way down All the way down All the way down All the way down Baby, what you wanna do?

I was twenty one naive Not cynical, I try to please Her wit, her speech, her repartee Impressed me almost instantly She went all the way All the way down She went all the way, all the way She showed me love a hundred ways How she pimped and how she paid All the daughters, all the sons All were welcome, all would come We went all the way All the way down We went all the way, all the way I was King, Mr. Cool Just a snobby little fool (Like kids are now.) I dreamed of reaching greater heights I raved about it every night Talk is cheap She went all the way, all the way All the way down, yeah She went all the way All the way all the way All the way, all the way down She's there when I close my eyes There when I close my eyes She's there when I close my eyes There when I close my eyes How the years they rush on by Birthdays, kids and suicides Still I play the fool and strut Still you're a slut Hey girl, she went all the way All the way, all the way All the way down She went all the way All the way, all the way All the way down She went all the way All the way, all the way All the way down You give me back that time right now I can see it if I close my eyes Was every minute just a waste? Was every hour a foolish chase? I don't believe it She went all the way All the way down She went all the way All the way down She went all the way All the way down She went all the way All the way all the way All the way down She went all the way All the way all the way All the way down

Listen, little man I don't wanna hear no phony shit I've gotta win and that's the end of it I'm taking aim at a big asshole And I might just get all the way down This ain't no free as a bird I'm gonna blow up a turd I can win this all by myself And I just might go all the way down The Gods in Heaven have oil While the rest of us just boil, hey When I'm down, down, down, down When I'm down, down, down, down When I'm down, down, down, hey I just might get all the way down Bats coming through the window Camels coming through the needles Snakes coming up on ladders Weird gas in place of breath Foam, rubber, Hollywood breasts Life that smells like death The Gods in Heaven have gold The rest of us just get old, oh, yeah When I'm down, down, down, down When I'm down, down, down, down When I'm down, down, down When I'm down, I might get all the way down Down, down, all the way down Down, down, all the way down Down, down, all the way down And I just might get all the way down When I'm down When I'm down When I'm down When I'm down, I might get all the way down Down, down, all the way down (when I'm down) Down, down, all the way down Down, down, all the way down I just might get all the way down Down, down Down, down When I'm down

I'm not well As you can tell By the way, I haven't look you in the eye I'm about to lie and say I'm fine But inside You and I know that's not true But it's either this Or let my burdens weigh on you And that I just can't do So I'll choose for the both of us And you'll just go along because You've trusted me for no good reason Here I am, committing treason Force the last page of our story One more boring allegory Hope to god you'll rise above me Always bite the hand that loves me Mine, mine is the unkind, kindest cut of all And I'll watch you fall And I'm aware That it's not fair To bring you here then send you on your way You had so much to say And to ask Like, "Why am I not cut out for the task Of loving you forever Of holding you and never wanting less?" Well, I can take a guess See, I could choose for the both of us And you'd just go along because You've trusted me for no good reason Love no matter what the season Force the last page of our story You're my favourite allegory Hope to god that you'll forgive me My mistakes will long outlive me Mine, mine is the unkind, kindest cut of all And I'll watch you fall And I don't know if this makes it any easier Perhaps you'll find comfort when I say You and I are nothing more than meteors Never meant to live long past today Yes, I'll choose for the both of us You'll just go along because You've trusted me against your judgement You deserve someone who doesn't Force the last page of your story No more boring allegories Hope to god you'll rise above me Though you'll always be part of me Mine, mine is the unkind, kindest cut of all I'll watch you fall Now watch me fall

Notice me Take my hand Why are we Strangers when Our love is strong Why carry on without me? -Chorus- Everytime i try to fly I fall without my wings I feel so small I guess i need you baby And everytime i see you in my dreams I see your face, it's haunting me I guess i need you baby I make believe That you are here It's the only way I can see it clear What have i done? You seem to move on easy -Chorus- Everytime i try to fly I fall without my wings I feel so small I guess i need you baby And everytime i see you in my dreams I see your face, you're haunting me I guess i need you baby I may have made it rain Please forgive me My weakness caused you pain And this song is my sorry Ohhhh At night i pray That soon your face Will fade away -Chorus- Everytime i try to fly I fall without my wings I feel so small I guess i need you baby And everytime i see you in my dreams I see your face, you're haunting me I guess i need you baby

The only way to hold on to this love is with an open hand. You told me that the first day we met. I didn't understand Beneath the broad-beamed boughs, your love changed A slow coming apart. You moved on and I stayed the same. I was trailing from the start We laid long in the tall grass. We loved for the joy of love itself. We threw our pennies in the fountain and we wished for nothing else. And we wished for nothing else. And through the crossbeams whispers were heard: Undoing in every line. And in the fall you flew little bird But I'll see you when it's time We laid long in the tall grass. We loved for the joy of love itself. We threw our pennies in the fountain and we wished for nothing else. And we wished for nothing else. We laid long in the tall grass. We loved for the joy of love itself. We suffered heartache after heartache but we wished for nothing else. We wished for nothing else.

Come on my little ruin, Won't you open up and let me in Well time has not been kind, But you're still standing here. Leave a light on in your window, Won't you let me see a sign. It's gonna take more than smoking mirrors Now for me this time. Come on our Mr.Sorrow, Won't you sing yourself a different song The melody that made you is now worn out, Sing along. Well everybody is looking at you, But I can't stand to watch. I've seen this scene come and go too much. And Oh, How you struggle, Through the hours. With your sorrow leading the way. And as you're stooping, Among the cowards, You will let them win. But I'm not gonna stand aside, And watch them tear you up, No I'm not. Because you're better than the hour And I can't say it enough. It's enough. What are you doing? Come on my little ruin, Wont you build yourself back up again. Won't you take the time you were given, You promised it to yourself. You can stand among the best of them, If you could hold your own. But no one's gonna do it for you now, But you and you alone. And Oh, How you struggle, With your powers. And keep your backside to the wall. And, as you're counted, Among the cowards, Didn't see you at all. But i'm caught, On a rising wave and I can't get you up But I'm not, Gonna stand aside, And watch them tear you up, No I'm not. Because you're better than the hour You're better than the hour, You're better than the hour, You're better than the hour, You're better than the hour, And I can't say it enough, It's enough. What are you doing? What are you doing?
