Out The Window Lyrics

Life was fun 

life was great 

til I made my big mistake 

oh no it'll never happen to me 

life was short 

and life was sweet 

I was thinking as I hit the street 

I could hardly beleve 

I could scarcely conceive 

but I had gone out the window 

I had gone out the window 

I had gone out the window 

she was fine 

she looked great 

and so we made our big mistake 

I swear I swear I swear 

it'd never happen to her 

but the pavement knocked her head around 

when she hit the solid concrete ground 

from 30 flights above

and she was thirty something loving nothing 

gone out the window 

she had gone out the window 

she had gone out the window 

catch me if I'm falling, 

catch me if I'm calling 

he was smart he was wise 

he'd profoundly philosophize 

empathy for all humanity 

'til one day by an open window 

there's a note that read 

I've gone out the window - I'm dead 

he said yes to life for all of his life 

but then one day he said no 

I gotta go out the window 

we all go out the window 

catch me i am falling 

catch me I am calling 

catch me we are falling 

catch me we are calling
