Falling Away
Seven Lions Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I didn't want to think
'Cause I knew I was out of my mind
You pulled me from the brink
And brought me to the other side
And I think we're there
And I think we're there

So goodnight, goodnight
Don't have to have it all figured out
We'll be alright
What comes about is gonna come about
Tomorrow when we meet
Just take me to a place I've never been
Find me in the sweetest oblivion

We have it all in front of us
And I can see the sun is up to cover us
And I'm lifted up
You take me to a beautiful day
And I feel like my shadow is falling away
Falling away, falling away
Falling away, falling away, falling away

And I don't wanna go
I wanna be here all night
No one has to know
No one has to say it's alright
'Cause I think we're there
And I think we're there

So goodnight, goodnight
Don't have to have it all figured out
We'll be alright
What comes about is gonna come about
Tomorrow when we meet
You'll take me to a place I've never been
Find me in the sweetest oblivion

We have it all in front of us
And I can see the sun is up to cover us
And I'm lifted up
You take me to a beautiful day
And I feel like our shadow is falling away




Falling away, falling away
Falling away, falling away, falling away, falling away

Seven Lions got me into EDM. When I first bought my car it came with free six months of Sirius and I remember hearing Seven Lions Strangers and it got me hooked in the EDM Genre. You guys are absolute geniuses.
