Lyrics Falling Is Like This - Ani DiFranco

Falling Is Like This

You give me that look thats like laughing
With liquid in your mouth
Like youre choosing between choking
And spitting it all out
Like youre trying to fight gravity
On a planet that insists
That love is like falling
And falling is like this
Feels like reckless driving when were talking
Its fun while it lasts, and its faster than walking
But no ones going to sympathize when we crash
Theyll say «you hit what you head for, you get what you ask»
And well say we didnt know, we didnt even try
One minute there was road beneath us, the next just sky
Im sorry I cant help you, I cannot keep you safe
Im sorry I cant help myself, so dont look at me that way
We cant fight gravity on a planet that insists
That love is like falling
And falling is like this.
