Why is it Called Falling (For You) Lyrics

Can you see?

Behind everything I say I try to find a way to make it seem right

…

Do you know?

That everything you say I’m thinking through the day, and the night

 

I’m just a little girl, I know I won’t be cared for

Too odd to be ignored, too normal to be adored

And now I’ll try to survive with a taste of your eyes and laughter

Try not to imagine how I’m living now like you’re my puppet master

 

And as I reflect on all I say and all that you see,

I know I’m being mocked by gravity…

 

WHY IS IT CALLED FALLING?

When your feet won’t touch the ground?

Feels like a cheap sugar high, like soon you’ll run dry

And fall down

WHY IS IT CALLED FALLING?

When you feel like you’re rising away?

Feels like I’ve got too much good luck, let’s pass the buck

It won’t be OK

 

Can you see?

Behind all the walls I build, just want this void filled, want them to fall down!?

 

I’m just a little girl, I know you couldn’t care less

But I feel so lightheaded whenever you’re around, I confess

And now I’ll try to go on when we talk on the phone and say nothing

And every time I tell you never mind, I feel this wave of loathing!

 

And as I reflect on all I say, and all that you see,

I know I’m being mocked my gravity…

 

WHY IS IT CALLED FALLING?

When your feet won’t touch the ground?

Feels like a cheap sugar high, like soon you’ll run dry

And fall down

WHY IS IT CALLED FALLING?

When you feel like you’re rising away?

Feels like I’ve got too much good luck, let’s pass the buck

It won’t be OK

 

(Sigh, quiet)

Why is it called falling?

When I feel like I’m on a cloud?

Looking down on the world, white wings unfurled

I won’t fall back down…

 

WHY IS IT CALLED FALLING?

When your feet won’t touch the ground?

Feels like a cheap sugar high, like soon you’ll run dry

And fall down

WHY IS IT CALLED FALLING?

When you feel like you’re rising away?

With the memory of your face, cemented in place…

I think I’ll be OK

(x2)

 

I think I’ll be…OK
