Lyrics
Walk with me, walk with me
Go all the way down
Down a long flight of stairs
Ooh, stairs!
Go step by step into the darkness down there
Should we turn on a light? You know, for the stairs?
Walk with me down the hall
A hall that you know, at the end there's a door
It's a door that you've never laid eyes on before
Open the door, open the door
(Spoken)
Can you hear me, Diana?
Yes
Are you nervous?
No
Good. Now...
(Sung)
Make up your mind to explore yourself
Make up your mind, you have stories to tell
Go searching your past for what sorrows may last
Then make up your mind to be well
Di, you come home from these sessions in
Tears. Is this helping, or...? Di? Di?
We were both undergrads. Architecture. The baby wasn't planned
Neither was the marriage. I'd always expected to be too busy
But when the baby came, it all seemed to make sense. Until... until
Until...?
He's not here, he's not here
Love, I know you know
Make up your mind that you're strong enough
Make up your mind, let the truth be revealed
Admit what you've lost and live with the cost
At times, it does hurt to be healed
Catch me, I'm falling
At our first session, you told me
Catch me, I'm falling
That talking through your history
Faster than anyone should
Catch me, I'm falling
โFeels like it's about someone else
Please hear me calling
Make it about you
Catch me, I'm falling for good
Hey. I'm not supposed to be backstage, but, uh, for luck
Uh, did you see my parents out there?
Are you okay?
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. My dad said they'd both be here
Okay. Well, I'm sure they will be
Will they?
We had Natalie to replace her. And I
Know she knows. I couldn't hold her
In the hospital? Where the hell are they?
I couldn't let myself hold her
That's the first time you've mentioned Natalie in weeks of therapy
God damn it!
(Sung)
She's not there
She's not there
She's not there
Make up your mind, you want clarity
Take what you know and then make it make sense
Just face what you fear and soon it comes clear
The visions are just your defense
Thank you for coming. Natalie Goodman
Let's try to understand what all of
This is doing to you and to your family
Fuck!
Your grief for your son. Your distance from Natalie
Sorry. Sorry, it's just, um... You know what the problem with
Classical is? It's so rigid and structured. You have to play
The notes on the page. There's no room for improvisation!
Oh no...
Catch me, I'm falling
Make up your mind, you can live at last
Take a leap of faith
Make up your mind to be thoroughly alive
Catch me, I'm falling
Embrace what's inside, replace what has died
Catch me, I'm falling
And make up your mind, you'll survive
Catch me before it's too late
Unresolved loss can lead to depression
Catch me, I'm falling
Fear of loss to anxiety
Flying headfirst into fate
Catch me, I'm falling
The more you hold onto something you've lost
Please hear me calling
The more you fear losing it
Catch me before it's too late
Depression. Anxiety. Depression
Catch me before it's too late
Anxiety. One gives rise to the other
Catch me before it's too late
It becomes a cycle!
Catch me, I'm falling
Catch me, I'm falling
Catch me, I'm falling
