Face Down
★Family Force 5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I shut my eyes in search of sleep
Tossed and turned and hoped for dreams
Awakened by a voice that was so clear,
It felt so near to me

I want your love I need your touch
I?ve been missing you so much
I reach out for your hand,
And now it feels like I am falling

Down, Down, Down
Till I Kiss the Ground, Ground, Ground

[CHORUS]:

Fall Down with my Face Down
Giving up Me, Myself and I
It?s a Bittersweet Taste to Swallow my Pride Now

Face Down is Where I Stay Now
If You See Me Standing Up Again
Just Knock Me Back Down so I can Live
Face Down

[V.2]
I?m on my face again
It?s where I should have been
It brings me back to where I found you,
Where I first fell for you

No more depending on myself
It?s you and me and no one else
You stretch out your hand
And now it feels like I am falling into

Love, Love, Love,
Can?t get enough of Love

Chorus





I got to live face down

Put on your war paint
You are a brick tied to me that's dragging me down
Strike a match and I'll burn you to the ground
We are the jack-o-lanterns in July setting fire to the sky
Here, here comes this rising tide, so come on
Put on your war paint
Cross walks and crossed hearts and hope-to-dies
Silver clouds with grey linings
So we can take the world back from a heart attack
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start
So dance alone to the beat of your heart
Hey young blood, doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Bring home the boys and scrap scrap metal the tanks
Get hitched, make a career out of robbing banks
Because the world is just a teller and we are wearing black masks
"You broke our spirit, " says the note we pass
So we can take the world back from a heart attack
One maniac at a time we will take it back
You know time crawls on when you're waiting for the song to start
So dance alone to the beat of your heart
Hey young blood, doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Put on your war paint
The war is won, before it's begun
Release the doves, surrender love
The war is won, before it's begun
Release the doves, surrender love
The war is won, before it's begun
Release the doves, surrender love
The war is won, before it's begun (Wave the white flag!)
Release the doves, surrender love (Wave the white flag!)
Hey young blood, doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Wearing our vintage misery
No, I think it looked a little better on me
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
Hey young blood, doesn't it feel like our time is running out?
I'm gonna change you like a remix
Then I'll raise you like a phoenix
