title: Every time I fall
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
<div class="verse">
|
|
Every time I fall,
|
|
The ground tells me I'm in love.
|
|
"'Cause love is
|
|
All low," it says.
|
|
"And loves is
|
|
Places."
|
|
|
|
And I always argue,
|
|
That love is all people.
|
|
That love is dogs,
|
|
And cats.
|
|
And love is
|
|
Emotions.
|
|
|
|
But every time I fall,
|
|
The ground tells me I'm in love.
|
|
That gravity is
|
|
Some awkward embrace,
|
|
And love is
|
|
Permanence.
|
|
|
|
And I always argue,
|
|
That love is temporary.
|
|
That that's
|
|
The beauty,
|
|
And permanence
|
|
Misses the point.
|
|
|
|
And every time I fall,
|
|
The ground tells me I'm in love.
|
|
And every single time,
|
|
I keep coming back.
|
|
