They say east Berlin's too cold, and all the hip kids are off to Lisbon
But I've just been in Freidricshain again
It's fine, still happening
Had plans with an old flame, Janey
Down this vegan pizzeria
To fill the other in on the year just been and what the future holds from here
And when we're talking of the future, it's always love-life or career
I guess the second of these is a recent disease in regards to what humans fear
I tell her how I can't slow down
How I'm running on fumes for the boon of the band
How I'm scared all the seeds we sow won't grow, if the next new tune don't land
But Janey's bigger things to be thinking than all these pointless things that I'm feeling
She just stares out the window vacant, gazing as the fake cheese starts congealing
Fill the silence, tapping absent minded on the back of the plastic chair
I lean in with a grin and ask Jane again, what's really going on upstairs in there
And you want to, I add
I hate seeing her face look so sad
Still just me in a one way conversation with the best friend that I ever had

Then Janey said
You're gonna hurt someone, one way or the other, so
Just don't stall, don't fall between the cracks
I did and I don't know if I can ever come back
Yeah, you're treading water or chasing waterfalls

The waitress steps out from behind the counter
We pay for the food with the right amount because they don't do change
It proper jarred in regards to the statement that Janey just made
And when she finally spoke, she spoke vague
But through the haze and the smoke what she said really resonated
She looked sane again, plain as day
Engaged and reanimated
Like the problem to plague her was plaguing me too
Maybe she already knew
Maybe we were on the same page?
Or did Ry drop by to say hi
On the same day prior to explain what was really going on
When I lied for the sake of my pride, to save face
The real dilemma I was grappling with
Wasn't anything to do with the band
And the shit that I do or don't give
It was the grip of my own past
No matter how good I can get
I know it won't last
Let go, slow down, I'm on the only road I've ever known, begging to go fast
But even if I never looked back
I was always headed for a car crash

Just don't stall, don't fall between the cracks
I did and I don't know if I can ever come back
Yeah, you're treading water or chasing waterfalls

I poured my heart out to Jane as we headed through the door
Had my head in my hands, feet dragging on the floor
As I laughed real awkward, thoughtless talking
Probably get a good song from this, I said walking out
Hey, Jane said, plain as day
Some things aren't just yours to be giving away
Whatever comes next, know that you're making a start
But at the cost that it comes for some, have a heart, man
Art isn't everything
Anything like that, you wanna get off your chest
Get a therapist
Save it for a friend or say it with a weird fake name on the Internet
I was shivering, she was giggling
I told you that the winter in Berlin is fucking punishing
Next time your visiting, visit late spring
Aww, you poor thing, come 'ere, she said lovingly, pulling me in
And I still hadn't asked how her summer had been
I never did
Just slipped from her grasp suddenly
Troubles gonna bubble if you wanna bit
So why'ma always running like it's coming for me

Just don't stall, don't fall between the cracks
I did and I don't know if I can ever come back
Yeah, you're treading water or chasing waterfalls
Every chance you have to take
But mother nature makes the call
So just don't stall
Don't fall between the cracks
I did and I don't know if I can ever come back
Yeah, you're
Treading water, keep chasing waterfalls
