FALLING FORWARD

you scrubbed the writing off the wall
bent back a day or two, now
and the hope you'd hoped you'd still find
has somehow eluded you, now

still you're begging me for time
every time I need my own, dear
constant reminders of the hours lost
will not bring us home, dear

when you're burning the candle low
with your confidence in tow
and while the world is turning slow
it's so much harder than you know

you're gonna see this through
till the worst is done
though your heart is overdrawn
life will never play
like it's written in a song
but our melody is strong
and we'll find a way to go on

I've always had your back, my love
when you're hell bent on falling forward
watch them decode the serenades
you've always written for "her"

and you just play on through the fear
as the darkest hour appears
as I fight to keep my head clear
cuz I know I'm needed here

chorus

you're always sure that I know you know
every time I fade from view
but steady on and you will see
I always fall back into you
