Don't You Wanna Fall
Embracing the Irresistible Temptation
Lyrics
I'm a high wire act, without a net
I live my life like a risky performance without a safety net.
I'm a tips all in on a losing bet
I take significant chances, fully committing to a losing situation.
I"m a minor cord on an old guitar
I am a melancholic note on an old guitar, perhaps representing a somber aspect of life.
I'm one too many in a crowded bar
I am just one of many in a crowded and lively environment, possibly feeling insignificant.
Don't you wanna fall
Encouraging someone to take a risk or make a bold move in life, suggesting a desire for shared experiences.
Don't you wanna fall
-Fall down here where an angel should know better than
-To walk around this world with me
-All the girls love to talk about forever
-From way up here the talk is always cheap
-Don't you wanna fall
-Don't you wanna fall
-You're that first good buzz at seventeen
Comparing the person to positive and enjoyable experiences, like the excitement of a first good feeling at seventeen or winning in a movie, but also acknowledging the transient nature of these moments.
You're the good guy winning on the movie screen
-You're a candle burning in the church in Rome
-You're a first class ticket on the last plane home
-But don't you wanna fall
Reiteration of the desire for the person to take a leap, emphasizing the allure of falling and experiencing life together.
Don't you wanna fall
-Fall down here where an angel should know better than
-To walk around this world with me
-All the girls love to talk about forever
-From way up there the talk is always cheap
-Don't you wanna fall
-Don't you wanna fall
-Fall down here where an angel should know better than
Repeated emphasis on the invitation to fall, with a suggestion that talking about eternal love from a distant perspective lacks authenticity.
To walk around this world with me
-All the girls love to talk about forever
-From way up there the talk is always cheap
-Don't you wanna fall
-Baby don't you wanna fall
