Down Down

Looks like you’re twenty steps from a happy ever after
Or maybe twenty more from a permanent disaster
And I know and I know and I know
It’s not quite how it goes
But it’s just the same, it’s just the same

So when you started out, were you looking for this outcome?
Always a step ahead, not a soul you couldn’t outrun
And you know and you know and you know
Your boldness only grows
But it’s not a game, it’s never a game

You’re going down down
Down like a lead balloon
You’re going down down
I’m not going to see you soon
No little black box or aftershocks
Would ever lead me back to you
You’re going down
Down down down down

Just one more rabbit hole and this will all be over
One final episode you’ll have your four-leaf clover
But I know but I know and I know
You’ll never have enough
Just one more score, always one more score

You got so close to it that you could nearly touch it
But you had to push push push until you self-destructed
And you know and you know and you know
That you traded all your love
For a little more, for just a little bit more

You’re going down down
Down like a lead balloon
You’re going down down
I’m not going to see you soon
No little black box or aftershocks
Would ever lead me back to you
You’re going down
Down down down down

You’re not going to ask for my forgiveness
You don’t think you’re doing something wrong
I need to know I’m not complicit in this
Even though I followed you so long
You’re going down down down

You’re going down down
Down like a lead balloon
You’re going down down
I’m not going to see you soon
No little black box or aftershocks
Would ever lead me back to you
You’re going down
Down down down down
