Falling
Emmy Rossum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What's coming over me I've no control.
I hear a voice saying get a hold of yourself,
You seem like someone else I don't know.

Where have my senses gone, I lost my way.
With every touch you intoxicate.
Pull me in, stop making my head spin.
I'm losing it.

Upside down my feet can't find the ground.
My mixed up mind's a blur.
I trip on every word.

Cause I'm falling, falling fast.
Like I always do.
Tell me it won't pass.
I've everything to lose.
Stop me before I go to far.
Go on, go on keep me falling.
Hold my tongue before I say too much.
Please don't run I need to know because.
I'm gonna let go c'mon catch me.
Go on, go on keep me falling.

You are everywhere inside my head.
And I'm all tangled up in your web.
So surreal, but I like how it feels,
In this reverie.
Just a look and I'm not thinking straight.
I'm addicted I don't wanna wait.
I'm letting go of everything that I know,
I'm losing it.

Up and down my spine goes shockwaves now.
Tumbling heels over head.
Lost in this maze again.

Cause I'm falling, falling fast.
Like I always do.
Tell me it won't pass.
I've everything to lose.
Stop me before I go to far.
Go on, go on keep me falling.
Hold my tongue before I say too much.
Please don't run I need to know because.
I'm gonna let go c'mon catch me.
Go on, go on keep me falling.

Falling (for you),
Falling (catch me I'm),
Falling, falling for you.

Cause I'm falling, falling fast.
Like I always do.
Tell me it won't pass.
I've everything to lose.
Stop me before I go to far.
Go on, go on keep me falling.
Hold my tongue before I say too much.
Please don't run I need to know because.




I'm gonna let go c'mon catch me.
Go on, go on keep me falling.
