THE WORDS

Falling out of Love Lyrics

Took you out to my hometown
Where I learned to be alone
Ridin’ up the mountainside
Where all the world’s here
Linger on to praise the dawn
Different boots, same old song
I’m in love with a ghost
Be always and never alone

I denied, for a while
Fallin’ out of love for the first time
Some things are flawed by design
But I’m fine for the first time
Dancin’ in acid rain alone it’s new
But I don’t wanna do it anymore
I guess I’ll sing alone

There once was a boy turned to Lucifer
He haunted many spaces, got lost down many streets
Mmm, sailed the seven seas, hunted wild rhinocer-es
Please don’t call me, “Man,” I’m no fancy fallen angel
Finally fell in love, finally found some relief
Finally found his lover in the arms of a thief
Mostly found an angle, holding on for now

And denied, for a while
Fallin’ out of love for the first time
Some things are flawed by design
But I’m fine for the first time
Dancin’ in acid rain, alone it’s new
But I don’t wanna do it anymore
I guess I’ll sing alone

Two things can be true, good times I had wit’ you
To the cozy, cotton bedded sheets at night looked dread
Past the hall of judging heads, family portraits of the dead
I know they felt the same power
Sitting in the shadow, count my blessings
No one gotta find out why
I guess you wanna know
In a way, this could be big news

Not a crime, not a lie
Fallin’ out of love for the first time
Some thing’s flawed or by design
But I’m fine for the first time
Dancin’ in acid rain, alone with you
But I don’t wanna face it anymore, know I’m immature
Over time, overnight
‘Cause I can’t go through it anymore
Hollywood here I come
I know what it was, why it was
Lookin’ for something else

Someone please call it in on the radio
We got a problem here
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Be an adult, you’re bein’ a child
No one wants to play
Grindin’ your gear
I know it’s not enough
We didn’t wanna hear another lecturing
Oh, puttin’ on a show
Grindin’ your gear
