Falling Slowly
Falling Slowly: Embracing Hope Amidst Life's Turbulence
Lyrics
I don't know you but I want you
I feel a connection with you even though I don't know you personally
All the more for that
This feeling intensifies despite not knowing you well
Words fall through me and always fool me
My words are ineffective, and I often deceive myself
And I can't react
I find it difficult to respond appropriately
And games that never amount
Engaging in activities that ultimately have little significance
To more than they're meant
These activities don't lead to anything meaningful
Will play themselves out
Eventually, the consequences will unfold on their own
Take this sinking boat and point it home
Metaphorically, take this troubled situation and guide it towards resolution
We've still got time
There's still time to make things right
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
Express optimism and make a positive choice
You've made it now
You've successfully reached this point
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
Describing the experience of slowly falling in a relationship
And I can't go back
Unable to go back or reverse the situation
And moods that take me and erase me
Moods overpower and consume me
And I'll paint it black
I'll paint the situation in a dark or negative light
Well you have suffered enough
You have endured hardships
And warred with yourself
Internal conflicts and struggles with oneself
It's time that you won
It's time for you to overcome and succeed
Take this sinking boat and point it home
Symbolically, redirect this troubled situation towards resolution
We've still got time
There is still an opportunity to make amends
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
Express optimism and make a positive choice (repeated)
You've made it now
You have successfully reached this point (repeated)
Why don't you come?
An invitation or plea for the person to come closer
One, two, three, four
A counting sequence leading to a pivotal moment
Take this sinking boat and point it home
Symbolically, redirect this troubled situation towards resolution (repeated)
We've still got time
There is still an opportunity to make amends (repeated)
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
Express optimism and make a positive choice (repeated)
You've made it now
You have successfully reached this point (repeated)
Falling slowly sing your melody
Continuing to slowly fall, expressing one's own melody
I'll sing along, along
Encouraging the other to join in and sing along
Baby, why don't you come home?
An earnest plea for the person to come home
