The Fall
Rubber Duc Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can I have this dance?
When I look at you, can I tell you my desire?
I light the fire
Kick off these shoes, we can move while I hold you tighter

You say your hair's a mess
I've never seen a mess in an evening dress look so lovely
But if you hold me

I promise you, my love, you'll never be lonely

I'm not scared of the fall
I'll risk it all
Hold your future in my hands
All you ask for
I'll give you more
Honey, I will see this through
I can't stop loving you

I know it's getting late
But every second I'm with you, I'm feeling younger
And when we're done here
I'll grow on you, come wind, come rain, come thunder
Oh

Now, I'm not scared of the fall
I'll risk it all
Hold your future in my hands
All you ask for
I'll give you more
Honey, I will see this through
I can't stop loving you

(Can't stop loving you)
(Can't stop loving you)
(Can't stop loving you)
(Can't stop loving you)

I've got nothing left to lose

Nothing but you
Nothing but you

Can I have this dance?
When I look at you, you'll know you're my desire

Now, I'm not scared of the fall
I'll risk it all
Hold your future in my hands
All you ask for
I'll give you more
You're my woman, I'm your man
All you ask for
I'll give you more

Honey, I will see it through
I can't stop loving you

Anything you may desire, again

You're my woman, I'm your man
You are my love, and I am yours

Honey, I will see it through
Once more, my love, I will stick with you till the end

I can't stop loving you
Again, I am incapable of stopping my love for you
