[Verse 1]
It's the street lights going off
Like a trick the second time
And it's all these oily lines I left from pulling in a basin
Just washing up the sides
It's the roots under the pavement
Something moving in the background
It's a jacket on the hook behind the door
All these things I could've sworn I figured out

[Chorus]
Depicting my ascent
I guess I got too far ahead
Watching steps I lost my count
Thought too hard about the end
When it comes for sake of pace
I don't believe my blurry eyes
Climb a step that isn't there
Falling far
Far from no height
And I fall so far behind

[Verse 2]
It's a paper with the answer
Edges soaking in my patience
Though I missed the crucial digit
We're still an honest calculation
It's a stick between the spokes
With a sudden change of light
And in the moment that I thought
You might want to stick around
As you turn and say goodnight
I was still one step behind

[Chorus]
Depicting my ascent
I guess I got too far ahead
Watching steps I lost my count
I thought too hard about the end
When it comes for sake of pace
I don't believe my blurry eyes
Climb a step that isn't there
Falling far
Far from no height
How'd I fall so far behind?

[Bridge]
Ah, ah
[Chorus]
Depicting my ascent
I guess I got too far ahead
Watching steps I lost my count
I thought too hard about the end
When it comes for sake of pace
I don't believe my blurry eyes
Climb a step that isn't there
Falling far
Far from no height
