C# A B
Since my own arrogance has knocked my off my feet again
When you know I'm crawling to you as fast as I can
First teach me to walk and then I'll learn to dance for you
Like an honest clumsy clown tripping along the way
Bbm F#
'cause I am reaching for you, but my arms aren't long enough
Bbm F#
And I am running to you, If I go a little faster
Bbm F#
And I am crying to you, But I can't hear my own voice
F#m
And I am waiting for you, And trying not to fall asleep now
C#
and I am clumsily dancing away this fear
Bbm
I am stumbling closer to you and I am
F#
Tumbling over my pride
F#m C#
I will be a fool for you
Same chords:
What are you thinking as you look down on me
Are you frustrated with my inconsistency
Or intrigued that I can find the will to get back on board
Maybe all of this is simply amusing
'cause I am reaching for you, But my arms aren't long enough
And I am running to you, If I go a little faster
And I am crying to you but, I can't hear my own voice
And I am waiting for you, And trying not to fall asleep
Chorus x 2

Chorus x 1 and end with intro tab

| i love this song. it kind of seems like this is a song about a girl playing games with him. he's willing to do everything she says, and yet she still looks down on him. "what are you thinking as you look down on me? are you frustrated with my inconsistancy or intruiged that i can find the will to get back up? or maybe all of this is simply amusing?" it seems like she is trying to break him down, and he has to learn how to do everything over again. "first teach me to walk and then i'll learn to dance for you." also, he's seems like he's saying that he's been waiting a long time for her. "i am waiting for you. trying not to fall asleep now." i really do like this song though. it's better if you don't think of it like i do, lol. i really like to think of it as a love song. :0) *ashley* | |

| its about being a dumb person .. to humble yourself being a fool can be offensive, but when u look on the bright side you have nothing to lose or prove | |

| I know this song is probably about god, but when i first heard it the impression i got was that it was the point of view of an infant towards their parents. it just stirs that imagery to me. Think about it - I'm crawling to you, teach me to walk, reaching for you but arms not long enough, trying not to fall asleep etc even though i know this isnt what the song was written to mean i will always see it like this. | |

| first of all i wanna say that i LOVE lifehouse and this song.. for me it expresses a strong feeling for someone after messing it up at the first chance and to be willing to do anything to make it up and be with this special person. | |

| For me, this song may sometimes be about the God above, or about a relationship with someone you follow through you entire life, waiting for her to love you back. It means a lot of things for me, and I think it should mean a lot of things to other people too :) | |

| I think this song is about God, but it could be about another relationship also. It's about how you stumble in your walk with God, how you screw up and cannot be what you want to be. But how that you know you have to get up, that you want to be closer to God, but are so unperfect that you keep falling. I think about a moth with it's wings broken trying desperately to get towards the flame. That may not make sense to anyone, but God is perfect and we are moths with broken wings. Don't you love symbolism? I Do. | |
