When I Fall(Album Version) - Barenaked Ladies

I look straight in the window try not to look below
Pretend I'm not up here try counting sheep
But the sheep seem to shower off this office tower
Nine-point-eight straight down I can't stop my knees
I wish I could fly
From this building
From this wall
And if I should try
Would you catch me if I fall
My hands clench the squeegee my secular rosary
Hang on to your wallet hang on to your rings
Can't look below me or something might throw me
Curse at the windstorms that October brings
I look in the boardroom; a modern pharaoh's tomb
I'd gladly swap places if they care to dive
They're lined up at the window peer down into limbo
They're frightened of jumping in case they survive
I wish I could step from this scaffold
Onto soft green pastures shopping malls or bed
With my family and my pastor and my grandfather who's Dead
Look straight in the mirror watch it come clearer
I look like a painter behind all the grease
But paintings creating and I'm just erasing
A crystal-clear canvas is my masterpiece
I wish I could fly
From this building
From this wall
And if I should try
Would you catch me if I fall
I wish I could fly
From this building
From this wall
And if I should try
Would you catch me if I fall
