& again

fall again

sipping the dew from my eyes glazed with passion decayed
gulping a sigh with my lungs laced with soured delight
beating the life from my heart dipped in sugared defeat
wearing the souls of my feet cause you still walk right by

i’d like to fall again
bump my head and scrape my knees
let’s get lost again
and walk around aimlessly

breathing the words from my mouth kissed by syrupy lies
treading the edge of my nerves spiked with colicky cries
walking the line of my life straight in womanly curve
needing the silence of love secure with no words

i’d like to fall again
bump my head and scrape my knees
let’s get lost again
and walk around aimlessly

i’d like to fall again
bump my head and scrape my knees
let’s get lost again
and walk around aimlessly

i’d like to fall again
i’d like to fall again
i’d like to fall again
i’d like to fall again
i’d like to fall again
i’d like to fall again
