Falling Out Of Love
Mary Gauthier Lyrics

It's a cheap hotel, the heat pipes hiss
The singer is in a rundown hotel with noisy pipes

The bathroom's down the hall and it smells like piss
The only bathroom in the hotel is down the hall and it smells bad

It's another night in another town
The singer is on tour and every night is spent in a different city

And I'm another blues traveler headed down
The singer is feeling sad and this is reflected in her music

Falling out of love is a dangerous thing
Losing feelings for someone can lead to a risky and uncertain situation

With its slippery slopes and its weighted wings
Trying to leave a relationship can be an uphill battle and emotionally draining

With its birds of prey circling overhead
The singer feels like she's being watched by others waiting for her to fail

Casting vulture shadows on barren beds
This ominous feeling is causing the singer to feel isolated and alone

Let me out, set me free
The singer is yearning to be released from her inner turmoil

The clock inside the church bell tower
The singer hears the sound of a church bell ringing

Rings your name every hour
Her ex-lover's name seems to be everywhere she goes

I see your face, I touch your hair
The singer is haunted by memories of her past relationship

Then the ringing fades and nobody's there
She remembers that her ex is no longer with her and is left feeling empty

Falling out of love is a treacherous thing
Trying to move on can be hazardous and full of pitfalls

With its crucible kiss and its ravaged ring
Love can often be painful and leave scars

With its holy whispers and labyrinth lies
Despite the pain, the singer still hears the sweet words and false promises from her ex

Sacrilegious hungry sighs
This experience has left the singer feeling empty and pained

Let me out, set me free
The singer begs for the ability to move on and escape her current situation

I walk the streets, I taste the dirt
The singer is feeling beaten down by her experiences

I'm flesh and blood and my body hurts
The physical and emotional pain of losing love is weighing heavily on the singer

I search your silence looking for a crack
The singer is still trying to find a way back to her ex-lover

For a passageway, where I can pull you back
She desperately wants to fix things and regain the love that she lost

Falling out of love is a tedious thing
The process of losing love can be long and tiresome

With its jailhouse smirk and its chain gang swing
Trying to move on from a relationship can feel like being imprisoned

It's time to serve and its sentence set
The singer feels like she's trapped and can't escape her feelings

With its warm blood and cold sweat
The emotional toll of the situation is affecting the singer both physically and emotionally

Let me out, set me free
The singer is asking for help to escape her situation and find peace
