Girl That I Love
Falls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There′s the girl that I love
There's the girl that makes me mad as hell
There′s the woman I want
There's the woman that makes me want to run away from it all
Happiness more or less
Gotta do it while you still got em
And what you're still waiting for, and I′m not waiting for you anymore
And I guess I was left on a step
On a stairway to a higher place
And it′s time to climb again
So it goes if we'd known what we know now
And then we′d be so far gone
There's the girl that I love
There′s the girl that makes me mad as hell
There's the woman I want
There′s the woman that makes me want to run away from it all
Here we go like a roller coaster
Gonna take me up, gonna take me down




And here we go like a roller coaster
Gonna take me 'round again
