Falling Away With You
Muse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't remember when it was good
Moments of happiness in bloom
Maybe I just misunderstood
All of the love we left behind
Watching our flash backs intertwine
Memories I will never find
In spite of whatever you become
Forget that reckless thing turned on
I think our lives have just begun
I think our lives have just begun

And I'll feel my world crumbling down
Feel my life crumbling now
Feel my soul crumbling away
Falling away
Falling away with you

Staying awake to chase a dream
Tasting the air you're breathing in
I hope I won't forgot a thing
I wish to hold you close and pray
Watching our fantasies decay
Nothing will ever stay the same
And all of the love we threw away
And all of the hopes we've cherished fade
Making the same mistakes again
Making the same mistakes again

And I'll feel my world crumbling down
Feel my life crumbling now
Feel my soul crumbling away
And falling away
Falling away with you

All of the love we left behind
Watching our flash backs intertwine




Memories I will never find
Memories I will never find

Moments of happiness in bloom
We had brief periods of joy and contentment together

Repeating the same errors as before


Making the same mistakes again
Making the same mistakes again

I can't remember when it was good
Moments of happiness elude
Maybe I just misunderstood

All of the love we left behind
Watching the flash backs intertwine
Memories I will never find

So I'll love whatever you become
And forget the reckless things we've done
I think our lives have just begun
I think our lives have just begun

And I'll feel my world crumbling
I'll feel my life crumbling
I'll feel my soul crumbling away
And falling away
Falling away with you

Staying awake to chase a dream
Tasting the air you're breathing in
I know I won't forget a thing

Promise to hold you close and pray
Watching the fantasies decay
Nothing will ever stay the same

All of the love we threw away
All of the hopes we cherished fade
Making the same mistakes again
Making the same mistakes again

And I'll feel my world crumbling
I'll feel my life crumbling
I'll feel my soul crumbling away
And falling away
Falling away with you

All of the love we've left behind
Watching the flash backs intertwine
Memories I will never find
Memories I will never find

How can every Muse song be the best Muse song

@saritajoshi1737

Because every song sounds the same lol

@juliagalstyan5622

They have some songs that sound exactly the same but it's not all of them so it's not the reason

@someguywholikesmuse7697

@@saritajoshi1737 they are probably the most diverse band I know of. Listen to Psycho then listen to The 2nd Law: Unsustainable

@darrenriccs

@@saritajoshi1737 Not particularly Absolution.. It's well-loved because its very diverse sonically...

@madmannchain1307

So you like Compliance, Dig Down, Thought Contagion, Something Human, Revolt, Get Up and Fight etc. as well??
