[Verse 1]
Some people never settle for the one
One love forever searching for the sun
Heat-blasted faces, promises at dawn
A constant flux of stages before they're gone

[Chorus]
How do you live so gracefully? (And would you show me)
How can I save the child in me? (A world a child would see)
How do you fall so gracefully?
Serenity in a shattered world
The child in me

[Verse 2]
Harlots by the half-moon, charlatans by wine
Seeking out your pleasure, the sweet concubine
That abrasive acquaintance, it's a wonder how we fawn
Stopping at these stations before they're gone

[Chorus]
How do you live so gracefully? (And would you show me)
How can I save the child in me? (A world a child would see)
How do you fall so gracefully?
Serenity in a shattered world
The child in me
[Bridge]
I've been waiting, feel the love rebuilding
Off the edge now, falling down
'Cause I've been waiting, I've been biding my time
On the edge now, falling down

[Chorus]
How do you live so gracefully? (And would you show me)
How can I save the child in me? (A world a child would see)
How do you fall so gracefully?
Serenity in a shattered world
The child in me
The child in me
The child in me
