lyrics

Time waits for no one
And our time was fleeting
Your heart keeps on beating
But I keep on falling
I thought I knew how to keep the ship sailing
But our ship was failing
And you keep on letting go

Yesterday’s plans are tomorrow’s misgivings
And you keep on living
But I keep on falling down
I never knew you
Our hearts weren’t ready
To keep the ship steady
Oh, I keep letting you fall

Rise and fall
Did we say enough?
Did we pay too much?
To rise, just to fall
Cause we saved our love, but you gave it up

Time casts a shadow
On both of our faces
In ten thousand places
Where you go and I follow
I thought I knew how
To keep above water
But the current was stronger
Than we could have ever known

So leave me alone at the cold end of autumn
You’re someone, you’re no one
And I keep on falling down
I never knew you
And we weren’t ready
To keep our hearts steady
Oh, I keep letting you fall

Rise and fall
Did we say enough?
Did we pay too much?
To rise, just to fall
Could we save our love, when you gave it up?

The world doesn’t spin how we need sometimes
But you like the way that it looks in your eyes
No one can see your light
When you shine it behind
No one can see your light
When you start to rise

When you rise
When you rise, you fall down
When you rise
When you rise, you fall down

Rise and fall
Did we say enough?
Did we pay too much?
