Fairground Attraction Falling Backwards Lyrics

Falling Backwards Lyrics

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 heat wave summer

We were practically kids

You persisted and I surrendered

And we were glad when I finally did

Now I'm falling backwards

Into your arms again



Falling backwards

Falling backwards

Falling backwards

Into your arms again
