falling slowly

this song is about going to a party with your girlfriend,
and she goes away to go to the toilet or something,
and you are standing there on your own.

then you look across the room and you saw a girl you utterly fancy
it is not mental, it is just physical

then you realise it is your girlfriend
and it was like chi chink!

- Glen Hansard

I don’t know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can’t react
And games that never amount
To more than they’re meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We’ve still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You’ve made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can’t go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I’m painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It’s time that you won

Falling slowly sing your melody
I’ll sing along
