Falling Down
JOEPURDY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like to think I can be a friend
We were heavy on love and heavy on mistakes
I'm so sorry it ended up this way
Will someone paint the ceilings blue
What's a blue sky if I can't have you to hold
One of these stars was faked on
Keep me falling down
Keep me falling down
I play these bars and all I get is grief
Drank too much, I'm heavy on my feet
And I can't remember what my fingers used to do
Stand in the rain too drunk to call you
So I'm falling down
So I'm falling down
Yes I'm falling down
Yes I'm falling down
I saw you falling down
I saw you falling down
Where are you now
Where are you
Heard the radio, it was playing our song
Where you were, I hope you sang along
Used to be warm, you're warming
And I'm falling down
And I'm falling down
Used to have a pretty smile
Where are you now
Where are you now
I don't miss you
I don't miss you
I don't miss you
Do you miss me
Do you miss me
Do you miss me
Oh no
Oh no
Oh no
Out the window
I saw her
The song "Falling Down" by JOEPURDY is a melancholic ballad about love being lost. The lyrics suggest that the singer has experienced a breakup and is struggling to cope with the aftermath. The first verse suggests that the relationship was intense but ultimately ended in disappointment, leaving the singer with a sense of regret. The second verse portrays the singer as being lost and unable to function properly without their lover. The chorus repeats the phrase "so I'm falling down" which is a metaphor for the singer's feeling of being lost.
The lyrics of the song also include references to certain images that convey a sense of longing and nostalgia. The line "Will someone paint the ceilings blue" suggests that the singer is searching for beauty in everyday things, which they can no longer appreciate in the same way without their lover. The line "One of these stars was faked on" could be interpreted as a reference to a specific moment in the relationship that was not genuine. The final verse of the song suggests that the couple's song is still being played on the radio, implying that even after the breakup, their love is still being celebrated by others.

Out the window
My gaze falls upon the world outside my window, and it seems as gloomy as my mood
