	Story Behind the Song This song came to me while I was traveling... by the time I returned home to record it, I had most of it plotted out in my head, and it only took a few days to complete. Lyrics In your hands you hold the things That make you feel alive They're slipping through your fingers Though you try to hold them tight They say the darkest hour Comes just before the light So hold on in the darkness It's gonna be alright Things fall apart You know they do Things fall apart No matter what you do Don't fall apart (hold on) The houses that you've lived in Are slowly burning down All the things you thought were yours Come tumbling to the ground Everything must end sometime Everything must change Everything must fall apart Nothing stays the same [Chorus] The moon pulls at the ocean And stirs the churning waves The strongest stone will turn to sand Beneath the water's weight The winds are always changing As they blow across the land Our lives are always shifting Like windblown grains of sand Things fall apart (beneath the winter snow) Not even spring can save some things And make them start to grow Things come undone (beneath the summer sun) Why can't you see Like autumn leaves, some things were meant To fall
