In my hands, good fortune
Caress my equal, with slightest touch
The sound of your voice keeps me still
And I'm sorry I, avoid your questions
And I'd never falter now we're even
(EXPLAIN WHY YOU WILL)
Take while you can its never even
(WHILE WE LAY STILL)
And I'd never falter now we're even
(EXPLAIN WHY YOU WILL)
Take while you can its never even
(WHILE WE LAY STILL)
A place to run, it's colder
And peace of mind takes,
Its own time for us
And in the same breath, we argue
And it must be a sign of closeness I guess
And I'd never falter now we're even
(EXPLAIN WHY YOU WILL)
Take while you can its never even
(WHILE WE LAY STILL)
And I'd never falter now we're even
(EXPLAIN WHY YOU WILL)
Take while you can its never even
(WHILE WE LAY STILL) Here alone
And I'd never falter now we're even
(EXPLAIN WHY YOU WILL)
Take while you can its never even
(WHILE WE LAY STILL)
And I'd never falter now we're even
(EXPLAIN WHY YOU WILL)
Take while you can its never even
(WHILE WE LAY STILL) (X2)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Falter" by Hundred Reasons seem to revolve around a relationship that has its ups and downs. The first verse describes the singer's appreciation for their partner, whom they regard as a source of good fortune and comfort. Despite this, they admit to avoiding their partner's questions, perhaps out of fear or defensiveness. However, the singer declares their commitment to not falter now that they and their partner are "even," which could be interpreted as finding a balance in their relationship. The repeated lines "Take while you can it's never even/While we lay still" suggest a sense of urgency and desire to make the most of their time together, while also acknowledging that things may not always be fair.

The second verse introduces a more discordant tone, describing a "place to run" that is colder and may represent a space of emotional distance. However, the line "and in the same breath, we argue" implies a certain intimacy and closeness in their relationship that may come with disagreements. The chorus is repeated throughout the song, with the singer affirming their commitment to not faltering and urging their partner to seize the moment while they can.

Overall, the lyrics of "Falter" seem to explore the complexities of a romantic relationship, portraying a mix of affection, conflict, and a sense of fleetingness.
