Make Up Your Mind/Catch Me I'm Falling

Walk with me, walk with me.
(Okay, walking.)
Go all the way down, down a long flight of stairs.
(Stairs.)
Go step by step down to the darkness down there.
(Should we turn on a light?)
(You know, with the stairs.)
Walk with me, down a hall.
A hall that you know--
At the end, there's a door.
It's a door that you've never laid eyes on before.
Open the door--
Open the door.
(Can you hear me Diana?)
(Yes.)
(Are you nervous?)
(No.)
(Good, now...)
Make up your mind to explore yourself.
Make up your mind--
You have stories to tell.
We'll search in your past
For what sorrows may last.
Then make up your mind
To be well.
(Di, you come home from these sessions in tears.
Is this helping, or...? Di? Di?)
(We were both undergrads.
Architecture.
The baby wasn't planned.
Neither was the marriage.
I had always expected to be too busy.
But when the baby came,
It all seemed to make sense.
Until... Until...)
(Until?)
He's not here...
He's not here...
Love, I know.
You know.
Make up your mind that you're strong enough.
Make up your mind--

Let the truth be revealed.
Admit what you've lost,
And live with the cost.
At times it does hurt to be healed.
Catch me, I'm falling...
(In our first session you told me...)
Catch me, I'm falling...
(...that talking through your history...)
Faster than anyone should.
Catch me, I'm falling...
(...it feels like it's about someone else.)
Please hear me calling.
(Make it about you.)
Catch me, I'm falling for good.
(We had Natalie too...
And I know she knows.
I couldn't hold her in the hospital.
I couldn't let myself hold her.)
(That's the first time you've mentioned Natalie in weeks of therapy.)
She's not there...
She's not there...
She's not there...
Make up your mind,
You want clarity.
Take what you know,
And then make it make sense.
Just face what you fear,
And, soon, it comes clear--
The visions are just your defense.
Catch me, I'm falling...
Catch me, I'm falling...
Flying headfirst into fate.
Catch me, I'm falling...
Please hear me calling...
Catch me before it's too late.
Catch me before it's too late.
Catch me before it's too late.
Catch me, I'm falling...
Catch me, I'm falling...
Catch me, I'm falling...
