You were grace when I was watching
Cruelty unaware
Kindness met with caution
Knowing I could not stay there
Trapped in some lame conversation
This guy says there's gonna be a war
Well I missed his plan for salvation
And watched you walk out the door

And falling is faster
Than forward or backward
Hope I land on my feet tonight

Now I'm pressing petals down
One flower at a time
In the phonebook of the town
I just left behind
I could try my hand at painting
When words are not enough
For the uncertainty of waiting
For the urgency of love

When falling is faster
Than forward or backward
Hope I land on my feet tonight

Fireworks falling down
They paint my windshield white
They don't make a sound
My ears are ringing
My fears are singing
You're nowhere to calm me down

There was a woman reading fortunes
Outside the place I played
She said one hand says you're in motion
One says you're slipping away
Slipping Away

When falling is faster
Than forward or backward
Maybe tomorrow we'll get it right x3
