All Fall Down
♫ One Republic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's the sound (that's the sound) on your window pane
Take to the streets but you can't ignore
That's the sound (that's the sound) you're waiting for
You feel that your world starts crashing down
Whenever you're world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
Yeah God love your soul and your aching bones
Take a breath, take a step, maybe down below
Everyone's the same
My fingers to my toes
We just can't get a ride
But we're on the road
If ever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
That's when you find me
(Yeah) Lost 'til you're found
Swim 'til you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love 'til you hate
Strong 'til you break
Know that we all fall down
If ever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
If ever your world starts crashing down
That's when you'll find (find) me
Lost 'til you're found
Swim 'til you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love 'til you hate
Strong 'til you break
Know that we all fall down
All fall down, we all fall down, all fall down
We all fall down, all fall down, all fall down
Lost 'til you're found
Swim 'til you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love 'til you hate
Strong 'til you break
Know that we all fall down

You and I were meant to be
Aint no doubt about it
No way to hide that sort of thing
Now I’m waiting for something better
Aint nothing better worth imagining
I, I keep on running
I’m building bridges that I know you never wanted
Look for my heart
You stole it away
Now I’ll never sing the road that I could take
Listen, I want you to burn my bridges down
I said, I want you to burn my bridges down
Set me on Fire
You set me
Set me on Fire
You can burn my bridges down
Send this out to sea
Send it where you wanted
You can take your no for no or not at all
There’s no filling up your spaces with fictionary places
Imaginary faces they don’t work at all
I, I keep on running
I’m building bridges that I know you never wanted
Look for my heart
You stole it away
Now I’ll never sing the road that I could take
Listen, I want you to burn my bridges down
I said, I want you to burn my bridges down
Set me on Fire
You set me
Set me on Fire
Girl you burnt my bridges down
I want you to burn my bridges down, down
I want you to burn my bridges down
Set me on fire
You set me
Set me on Fire
Set me on Fire
I want you to burn my bridges down
I said, I want you to burn my bridges down
Down, Down
Set me on fire
Set me on fire

Another song from Onerepublic that is underrated. Honestly, I actually listen to this group more than any other artist I hear on radio. GO ONEREPUBLIC!!
@yigitkaansahbazoglu
+Gene A. Carrasca It has 7.5 million views, how is it underrated?
@aboodzx5150
+Yiğit Kaan ŞAHBAZOĞLU It deserves more
@hmdzaf7451
+Yiğit Kaan ŞAHBAZOĞLU Not all people know this song. But hey, I like listening to songs that most people don't know, haha
@taniaglezr84
Aldo Feel Again and Something I Need, I think those one are the greatest
@rockie0708
GeneCARRASCA it's the music industry so congested and I think it is a disgrace that so many phenomenal songs from one republic do not get the credit and airplay. It's very difficult for bands to sell today. Although counting stars was a massive hit, and rightly so.
@g.r9736
This song is seriously underrated.
@ninamyte1664
Gabriel Raphael Yes. It is my favorite from Native
@highiq6591
