I replayed that story over and over in my mind
Even though I was right there, it changes a little bit every time
I wish someone had timed you
When you made that run
You would have won a gold medal for your country
Or at least a silver one
Sometimes things disappear from right in plain sight
We're full of faults, no matter how you hold it up to the light
Here come all the phone calls
From some distant star
Operator, tell me what's my name?
I've forgotten who we are
Release the reins
Stick the landing
Release the reins
Stick the landing
I guess we could pile on
But really what's the use?
All the rage I got inside
Won't break my fall or get my sentence reduced
Tie my laces for me please
I can't remember how
Pirouette across the gravel plain
Violently take a bow
Release the reins
Stick the landing
Release the reins
Stick the landing
Put me up there on an airplane
Give me something to kill the pain
Maybe some kind of morphine
Right into my vein
Put me on an airplane
And give me something for the pain
Release the reins
Stick the landing
Release the reins
Stick the landing to you
To the day
We stuck the landing
Release the reins
Stick the landing
