Falling Goes

Alone here in a sea of faces. I glimpse you 'cross the crowded floor.
I find you in the strangest places. I'm drawn to you in a way I find hard to ignore.
Harder still to talk to you. Thinking "Quick say something. Say something cool.
Don't talk about the weather. Can we talk about you?"

I think you're beautiful when you smile.
Maybe we could sit here for a while.
And just watch all the people passing by.
And wonder "does it show?" Cause that's how falling goes.
That's how falling goes.

Seems I'm always leaving some disaster.
Always pushing faster towards some vague and distant goal.
Seems my heart is always on my sleeve.
Singing baby please don't leave. We can make it through I know.

You will break my heart just like the others.
But maybe first you'll help me find some cover.
From this loneliness before it's taken over.
I'll be wondering when you'll go. Cause that's how falling goes.
That's how falling goes.

There's love out on that limb there, but it's shaky,
You'll be taken by the wind.
And you know how the ground feels when it hits.
Still I think you're prob'ly gonna take that risk.
Just to spend one night inside that kiss.

Alone here in a sea of faces. I glimpse you 'cross the crowded floor.
I find you in the strangest places. And I don't want to miss you anymore.
I know you know my heart's been broken. Maybe one too many times.
But I'm a sucker for that sweet smile. I'm a sucker for those big beautiful eyes.

I think you're lovely when you smile.
Maybe we could sit and talk a while.
Or just watch all the people passing by.
I'll be wondering when you'll go. Cause that's how falling goes.
That's how falling goes.
