to see that more than the skyline had changed
our innocence all beaten to hell
and nothing would be the same
what was it like to be there
what was it like to see them falling
down down down
100 stories
down down down
100 stories
what if one of them was writing a novel
we'll never know how that story will end
what if one of them just had a baby
they'll never have their momma as their best friend
what was it like to be there
what was it like to see them falling
down down down
100 stories
down down down
100 stories
peering into an eggwhite coffeecup
hear a nearing hum and casually look up
screams fill the office air
everyone screaming and running and
screaming and running and
what was it like to be there
what was it like to see them falling
down down down
100 stories
down down down
100 stories
they were more than 100 stories tall
that day more than 100 stories did fall
tell your story before its too late
alleluia, alleluia
