The Fall
The Bones Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love, I really pushed your love
Away from my reach but still I seek
Love, a growing sense of disarray
Sends me weak, goes dark, can't speak to my
Love, the colours dim
They seem less vivid when you're not near
I've lost my love
And I have no-one to blame for this fear but me
If you only knew how
I'm missing your call
Without you I'm just waiting for the fall
Only want to grow with you now
Or not grow up at all
Without you, babe, my vision looking small
Pain, you really take away the pain
Pain, the way you stare at me displays
We share the same lane
Play the same game, share same
Pain, without you
Seems to thicken the mud I tread in
Such a shame that
I threw precious stones in the water
And lost them, again
If you only knew how
I'm missing your call
Without you I'm just waiting for the fall
Only want to grow with you now
Or not grow up at all
Without you, babe, my vision looking small
If you only knew how
I'm missing your call
Without you I'm just waiting for the fall




Only want to grow with you now
Or not grow up at all
