falling slowly Once (2006)
I don’t know you, but I want you
All the more for that.
And 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 had the 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.
Well you have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It’s time that you won.
Take this sinking boat and point it home,
We’ve still got time.
Raise your hopeful voice you had the choice,
You’ve made it now.Oh now, now.
Take this sinking boat and point it home,
We’ve still got time.
Raise your hopeful voice you had the choice,
You’ve made it now.
Falling slowly, sing your melody,
I’ll sing it loud, loud.
Oh, calling out too loud.
