Lyrics
0:10Falling for you was always falling up
0:14Leather books and surplus government chairs
0:18I rose like smoke or the steam from your cup
0:23A wave of heat where the lighter flares
0:27You might have found some other reason
0:31To burn me like a tissue screen
0:35My heart is a poor judge
0:44And it harbors an old grudge
0:52Falling for you was a walk off a cliff
0:56A dream of a car with the brake lines cut
1:00The only way you can stop it is if
1:05You turn around keep the windows shut
1:09You might have found some other reason
1:13To leave me in that dark ravine
1:18My heart is a poor judge
1:26And it harbors an old grudge
1:34And I can see your light on
1:39Calling me back to make the same mistake again
1:49And I'll say no when you ask me no
1:53When you ask me no when you ask again
1:58'Cause I won't let it past me won't let it past me
2:02Won't let it past 'til I see that I'm last and then
2:18Falling for you was a last ditch plan
2:22You sized me up with your thumb on the scale
2:27I came up short but you do what you can
2:31The hammer's nothing without the nail
2:35You might have had some other reason
2:39To lead me to the guillotine
2:44But your heart is a poor judge
2:52And it harbors an old grudge
2:59And I can see your light on
3:05Calling me back to make the same mistake again
Falling for you was always falling up Leather books and surplus government chairs I rose like smoke or the steam from your cup A wave of heat where the lighter flares You might have found some other reason To burn me like a tissue screen My heart is a poor judge And it harbors an old grudge Falling for you was a walk off a cliff A dream of a car with the brake lines cut The only way you can stop it is if You turn around keep the windows shut You might have found some other reason To leave me in that dark ravine My heart is a poor judge And it harbors an old grudge And I can see your light on Calling me back to make the same mistake again And I'll say no when you ask me no When you ask me no when you ask again 'Cause I won't let it past me won't let it past me Won't let it past 'til I see that I'm last and then Falling for you was a last ditch plan You sized me up with your thumb on the scale I came up short but you do what you can The hammer's nothing without the nail You might have had some other reason To lead me to the guillotine But your heart is a poor judge And it harbors an old grudge And I can see your light on Calling me back to make the same mistake again
