Fall
Live Maria Roggen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This my home, into this
Take a plunge into the deep
Arresting time in my leap
Let me fall into this
This my home, into this
Tumble 'round inside the deep
Until I fall asleep (let me fall asleep)
Let me fall asleep (let me fall)
This world of beauty
It wins me over
It wins me back to what I thought was lost for good
A world of beauty in me, and my being ready
Enough to wipe the darkness of my mind
This world of reason
It had me going
Kept me away from pearls I thought were illusion
Sure it's a world of sorrow, and though I won't let it destroy me
I still won't take it off my mind
Let me fall into this
This my home, into this
Take a plunge into the deep
Arresting time in my leap
Let me fall into this
This my home, into this
Tumble 'round inside the deep
Until I fall asleep (let me fall asleep)
Don't mind me falling asleep (let me fall asleep)
Let me fall asleep (let me fall asleep)
You win me over
You are my reason
You even out the darkness and the blinding light
I can't control this, cannot grasp it
But I can keep it in my mind
Let me fall into this
This my home, into this
Take a plunge into the deep
Arresting time in my leap
Let me fall into this
This my home, into this
Tumble 'round inside the deep
Until I fall asleep (let me fall asleep)
Don't mind me falling asleep (let me fall asleep)
Let me fall asleep (let myself let go)
Let me fall asleep
