Falling Is Like This - Ani DiFranco

You give me that look thats like laughing

With liquid in your mouth

Like youre choosing between choking

And spitting it all out

Like youre trying to fight gravity

On a planet that insists

That love is like falling

And falling is like this

Feels like reckless driving when were talking

Its fun while it lasts, and its faster than walking

But no ones going to sympathize when we crash

Theyll say «you hit what you head for, you get what you ask»

And well say we didnt know, we didnt even try

One minute there was road beneath us, the next just sky

Im sorry I cant help you, I cannot keep you safe

Im sorry I cant help myself, so dont look at me that way

We cant fight gravity on a planet that insists

That love is like falling

And falling is like this.
