Falling Slowly

[GUY]

I don't know you

But I want you

All the more for that

[GUY & GIRL]

And words fall through me

And always fool me

And I can't react

[GUY]

And games that never amount

To more than they're meant

Will play themselves out

[GUY & GIRL]

Take this sinking boat and point it home

We've still got time

Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice

You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me

And I can't go back

Moods that take me and erase me

And I'm painted black

[GUY]

Well, you have suffered enough

And warred with yourself

It's time that you've won

[GUY & GIRL]

Take this sinking boat and point it home

We've still got time

Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice

You've made it now

Falling slowly, sing your melody

I'll sing it loud

[GUY]

Take it all

Oh, I played the cards too late

Now it's gone

Two, three, four
