Every Time I Fall
Holychild Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll never give it all to you
The damsel is not my story too
I came to like those kitchens, too
And my mind's made up on you
Without the kitchen and the coupe
If I can trust you'll have me too

Every time I fall
I can have it all
I will let you know
Before I let you go
I can have it all

Every time I fall, fall away
I can have it on my way
I'll never leave it for today with you

Every time I fall, fall away
I don't even have to say
I know my story's not the same with you

One day you'll have me too
My dreams will twist and follow you
I won't like those kitchens, too
And when I don't, I try for you
And when I give it all, it's new
You're on my mind before it's true

Every time I fall
I can have it all
I will let you know
Before I let you go
I can have it all

Every time I fall, fall away
I can have it on my way
I'll never leave it for today with you

Every time I fall, fall away
I don't even have to say
I know my story's not the same with you

Every time I fall, fall away
I can have it on my way
I'll never leave it for today with you

Every time I fall, fall away
I don't even have to say
I know my story's not the same with you

Every time I fall, fall away
I can have it on my way
I'll never leave it for today with you

Every time I fall, fall away




I don't even have to say
I know my story's not the same with you
