Falling Down
November-7 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll let go of my desire
And lose it all
To set this love on fire

How could I live
How could I know

We got no time can't you see
Falling down
We're falling head down
We're about to fall down

And waste no time
In discussions
I want to feel you
Come on, take me higher

How could I live
Knowing you're here
But without me

We got no time can't you see
Falling down
We're falling head down




A steep fall from high above
We got no time can't you see
