Falling 05:13
It should have been simple, but it wound up so much more real I’ll spend my whole life with my heartache on my sleeve, cause it’s too much of a struggle to conceal And all of the virtue I can see inside the me that’s in your eyes You know I would never hurt you, but there’s this face you make, and it makes me want to die Yeah, you set my soul on fire Now I’m burning up inside forevermore But falling in love Was a walk around the park And before you know It sinks it’s teeth into ya, hard Well I hope you know That it ain’t ever letting go And neither am I I never really worried about the answers No I was really only asking for the truth And though I’m drowning in a sea of self-importance You know I’d give up anything for you If you asked me to But falling in love Was a rope around your neck And when you put your head in the stove Tell me what did you expect? Well I hope you know When you’ve got nowhere left to go I’m gunna stay by your side

about

The theme of the song is laid out in the opening lines “This should have been simple, but it wound up so much more real”. So few things in this life ever go to plan, least of all affairs of the heart. ‘Falling’ is simultaneously a eulogy for the perfect vision we hold in our heads entering into a relationship, and a celebration of the strengths of the bonds we form through the mutual heartache and sacrifice.
