Lyrics

I Fall Down

[Verse 1]

Julie says

John, I'm getting nowhere

I wrote this letter

Hope to get to someplace soon

I wanna get up

When I wake up

But when I get up

I fall down

[Verse 2]

Julie wake up

Julie tell the story

You wrote the letter

Said you were gonna get there someday

Gonna walk in the sun

And the wind and the rain

Never walk back again

[Chorus]

Now you fall down

You're falling down

You fall down

You fall down

[Verse 3]

Julie say something

Julie say you're sorry

You're gonna get better

You better not leave me here anyway

I wanna get up

When you wake up

But when I get up

[Chorus]

I fall down

And when I'm falling down

I fall down

I broke myself

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

I fall, I fall down

I'm falling down

I fall down

When you fall down

When I'm falling down

Is when you're falling down

When you fall down

I fall down

I fall down
