Falling Backwards

Randal Gave


Like Water Wears Away a Stone, 
Time Gently Erodes Memories 
And When Love's Been Replaced 
By a Bitter Aftertaste 
It's Hard to Recall 
Just What Started It All 

But 
I Remembered What I Thought I'd Forgotten 
When I Saw You Again Today 
I Resisted and I Can Be Stubborn 
But My Resistance Just Crumbled Away 
And Now I'm Falling Backwards 
Into Your Arms Again 

Days Turned to Years and Went By 
And My Tears Eventually Dried 
But the Salt That Remained 
Made Me Thirsty Again 
Well, Nobody's All Bad 
And I Couldn't Stay Mad 

When I Remembered What I Thought I'd Forgotten 
When I Saw You Again Today 
I Resisted and I Can Be Stubborn 
But My Resistance Just Crumbled Away 
And Now I'm Falling Backwards 
Into Your Arms Again 

Oh, Sweetness, It's Madness 
To Start This All Again 
But When We Kiss 
I'll Gladly Let Them Come and Certify Me Insane, Oh 

I Remembered That Heatwave Summer 
We Were Practically Kids 
You Persisted and I Surrendered 
And We Were Glad When I Finally Did 

And Now I'm Falling Backwards 
Into Your Arms Again 
Falling Backwards, 
Falling Backwards, 
Falling Backwards, 
Into Your Arms Again
