Falling apart
Too Far Gone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm falling apart quite literally
My body's stopped working and I don't want to be
Picking up the pieces, I won't let them stay between us
Cause without you I won't stop falling apart

No bones are broken yet as you can see
Cause my heart is pounding, the sound is frightening
It's a whistling, crescendo Ing screeching that tells me the pressure is increasing
The palace could blow so get out of sight

I'm falling apart
I'm falling apart
I'm falling apart
I'm falling apart

I was searching when I found you
You took me flying and god the skies were blue
But when it ended I wished I knew
What you were going to do

I'm tearing out on dirt trying to stay on the ground
Kicking rocks but focused on the road outta town
There's a trail of dust and the sun's retreating behind the dreams I'm still entreating
To take me out tonight

With getting old some Things've subdued
I don't really run quite as hot as I used to
But for all the dreams we've burned through there's the fiery wrecks we've refused to Succumb to
We're holding out for more, remember the uproar
If only we were slamming doors when the scene went dark

I'm falling a part
I'm falling a part
I'm falling a part
I'm falling a part

I was sinking so I grabbed you
Thinking vacation in the ocean blue
We're losing airspeed, the hills are looming
But for now we're still soaring
Yea for now we're still soaring
For now we're still soaring

This is all things from all the years
Wrapped up in the one thing you can see and touch right here




This won't go down the way it's supposed to
I'm not falling down
