Some Things Never Fall
The Black Halos Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So here, yes, here we stand
Clenching our hands
Backed up, backed up against the wall

These times, they move too fast
I'm left in the past
But those things, those things never last

Ohh, I don't really wonder why
Some things live and some things die
Ohh, I don't really think about
What it's really all about

And I say yes
(And I say yes)
We'll show them all
(Ohh)
We'll show them all
(We'll show them all)
Some things never fall

And I say yes
(And I say yes)
We'll show them all
(Ohh)
We'll show them all
(We'll show them all)
Some things never fall

My friends, they're all left for dead
The words they said
They ain't so easy to forget

My mind, just slips away
My brain decays
I'm getting dumber every day

Ohh, I don't really wonder why
Some things live and some things die
Ohh, I don't really think about
What it's really all about

And I say yes
(And I say yes)
We'll show them all
(Ohh)
We'll show them all
(We'll show them all)
Some things never fall

And I say yes
(And I say yes)
We'll show them all
(Ohh)
We'll show them all
(We'll show them all)
Some things never fall

And I say yes
(And I say yes)
We'll show them all
(Ohh)
We'll show them all
(We'll show them all)

Some things never fall

This song is too underrated. I got their cd in Osaka Japan in 2002. They should have been known better than now. I remember I got Billy's autograph when he was in the cheap thrills. Someday they play in Japan mi hope.
