English term or phrase: And then catching yourself from falling

The phrase is part of the song "Walking and Falling" by Laurie Anderson. Here's its context:

"And you don't always realize it, but you're always falling.
With each step you fall forward slightly.
And then catch yourself from falling.
Over and over, you're falling.
And then catching yourself from falling.
And this is how you can be walking and falling at the same time."
