Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I know, I won't lie, I still see you, my friend
I still see you, my friend
And yes, I know, I understand you want to be desired
And I don't know, if I was wrong, confusions gettin' higher
Confusions gettin' higher
I'm falling, falling down in the air
Calling me down and it hurts
Yes, I'm falling, falling down in the air
She keeps calling
Calling me down, yes, it hurts
Oh, yes, it hurts
Mhm, I don't know, what was wrong, what was right in the end
But I know, I don't hide, and in my mind you're still here
In my mind you're still here
Oh, I hold you back and let you go, so you can feel desired
And I don't mind, oh yes, I care, confusions getting higher
Confusions higher
I'm falling, falling down in the air
She keeps calling
Calling me down and it hurts
Yes, I'm falling, falling down in the air
She keeps calling
Calling me down, yes, it hurts
Oh, yes, it hurts
Oh, I'm falling down
Falling in the air, in the air, in the air
Oh, you shot me down
Baby, I keep falling, I'm falling, I'm falling
Oh, I'm falling down
Falling in the air, in the air, in the air
Oh, you shot me down
Baby, I keep falling, I'm falling, I'm falling
Ooh-oh, I'm falling down
Falling in the air, in the air, in the air
Oh, you shot me down
Baby, I keep falling, I'm falling, I'm falling
