Vanessa Lee Carlton (born August 16, 1980 in Milford, Pennsylvania) is an American pop and rock singer, songwriter and pianist best known for the hit song "A Thousand Miles", a single from her platinum-selling debut album Be Not Nobody (2002). Although it is widely respected by her many fans, the follow up to this album, Harmonium, did not fare as well, selling only 179,000 copies. Her third album, tentatively titled "Heroes and Thieves," will be released mid to late 2007.

Last Fall Lyrics

Vanessa Carlton

As I leave the demons behind me
I find myself within your eyes
I didn’t seem to know what I was missing
Just seemed so out of my eyesight

But now I feel like I could fly feel like I could rise up
There to where you’re calling me
No more asking why no more foolish lies
Cause I have finished falling

As I fight the shadows that disguise me
Dyin’ for these hidden ways
All that seems so far is now behind me
And I can soar while my heart is left sinking

But now I feel like I could fly feel like I could rise up
There to where you’re calling me
No more asking why no more foolish lies
Cause I have finished falling

And it's as if new old eyes have found me, ‘cause things look different than before
I've never felt so light and so free and so willing to go on no matter what I come across
Cause I will not stop pushing ‘til I have recovered what was lost

Feel like I could fly feel like I could rise up
There to where you’re calling me
No more asking why no more foolish lies
Cause I have finished falling

Funny how the things you need will find you
The things you want will leave you wanting some more
Everything that comes along reminds you
You can either rise above or you can hit the floor

But now I feel like I could fly feel like I could rise up
There to where you’re calling me
No more asking why no more foolish lies
Cause I have finished falling

No I’m no I’m no no...I
