lyrics

A tear falls down, for me it’s real,
You put your drying eyes upon your sail.
If I built a road from me to you,
For that paradise what would I do?
To ignite the skies when the day is dark,
Would it be enough to try to reach your heart?
And if I found the words, and my time was due
To fall in love, to fall in love, to fall in love with you.

My thoughts ran wild when that fire burned bright,
And the curlews called deep in the night.
Our words fall like rain and take us by surprise,
I see it in your lips, I know it in your eyes.
Yes I feel your love, and I feel no shame,
I can’t release my fear, so I call your name.
What you are to me, what would I do?
If I fell in love, to fall in love, to fall in love with you.

My feet drag slow upon the sand,
I’ll find firmer ground when I’m made a man.
I dream of what might be if we could rewind,
But maybe I would see if I just left my mind.
When I found these strings I learned to fly,
And I heard your name where angels lie.
They sing of what’s to come and their words ring true,
To fall in love, to fall in love, to fall in love with you.

But how can the doors trust on a nail?
How can I be surprised each time I fail?
In the distant road I won’t be the same,
For your voice left me shivering in shame.
But from a dying flower fresh seeds will fall,
The beauty still to come can help us crawl.
So I befriend the pain I had to go through
To fall in love, to fall in love, to fall in love with you.
