fall
Everything reminds me of you
from the clothes on the floor
to the books in my room
try as I might, but I can’t rid of you
you’re in my skin,
never get you out again
Every time that I close my eyes
I see you, sunset and sunrise
over and over,
closer and farther away you fall
away you fall
You are the prettiest view,
you can’t help but hurt me too
no rose is ever without its thorns
you’re in my skin,
bleeding me out again
Every time that I close my eyes,
I see you, sunset and sunrise
over and over,
closer and farther away you fall,
away you fall
I am Icarus, you are my sun
pull me in and drop me for fun
as long as I live, I know this is true:
it’s always you
it’ll always be you
Every time that I close my eyes
I see you, sunset and sunrise
over and over,
closer and farther away you fall,
away you fall,
away you fall,
away you fall.
