FALLING
Falling Beyond Words: A Tale of Moving On
Lyrics
You've got away with words I'm not
You have a skillful way with words that I do not possess.
Quite as desperate as you thought
I am not as desperate as you may have believed.
Please stop saying you miss me I know it's all talk
Stop expressing that you miss me because I perceive it as insincere talk.
And oh, look who's coming back
Someone is returning, possibly from the past.
Same things, but I'm dodging that
Similar situations are arising, but I am avoiding them.
And there ain't no way I'm running back
I am determined not to return to the same circumstances.
So stay away
A plea for the person to stay away.
Just leave me be, let me get some sleep
Requesting to be left alone for some rest.
It's been a tire and couple weeks
Expressing exhaustion after a challenging couple of weeks.
Especially considering the last few things you said to me like
Reflecting on hurtful things said recently, implying deception.
Things are going well with him you hope I find someone again
Information about the other person's positive relationship, possibly to evoke jealousy.
But you and him been off and on
Noting the on-and-off nature of the other person's relationship.
And you've been calling awfully lots again
Highlighting frequent communication from the other person.
You've got away with words I'm not
Reiterating the lack of desperation on the speaker's part.
Quite as desperate as you thought
Requesting the other person to stop insincerely expressing missing the speaker.
Please stop saying you miss me I know it's all talk
Repetition of the plea for the person to stay away.
And oh, look who's coming back
The return of someone familiar, with the speaker avoiding similar issues.
Same things, but I'm dodging that
Avoiding repeating past experiences.
And there ain't no way I'm running back
Reiterating the determination not to go back to the same situation.
So stay away
A strong plea for the person to stay away.
It's been months when did we talk
Noticing a significant time gap since the last communication.
I've been through messenger but I'm lost
Trying to connect through messenger but feeling lost in the process.
I've been okay, writing songs
Indicating personal well-being and coping through songwriting.
You've been on my mind since I'm moving on
Despite moving on, the person remains on the speaker's mind.
And if ever afters don't exist what's the point of all of this
Questioning the purpose of enduring difficulties if the ideal happy ending is unattainable.
No I'm falling for it again
Admitting a vulnerability to falling into the same patterns again.
Don't fall for it again
Strongly advising against falling into the same patterns.
Oh, look who's coming back
Repetition of the return of someone familiar, with the speaker determined to avoid it.
And I'm dodging that
Continuing to dodge past experiences.
There ain't no way I'm running back
A firm declaration of not returning to the same situation.
So stay away
A strong plea for the person to stay away, emphasizing distance.
I'm running back
A repetition of the determination not to return.
You've got away with words I'm not
Restating the lack of desperation on the speaker's part.
Quite as desperate as you thought
Requesting the other person to stop insincerely expressing missing the speaker.
Please stop saying you miss me I know it's all talk
Repetition of the plea for the person to stay away.
And oh, look who's coming back
The return of someone familiar, with the speaker avoiding similar issues.
Same things but I'm dodging that
Avoiding repeating past experiences.
And there ain't no way I'm running back
Reiterating the determination not to go back to the same situation.
So stay away
A final plea for the person to stay away, emphasizing distance.
