Well I don't remember how we made it home tonight
but the light in this room just ignites the gloom
we'd tried to hide.
Still I say: "Everything will be alright"
and I kiss your eyelids closed
because I'm drunk enough
to fall in love
until tomorrow.
Now you cling to me
like I was your crucifix
and as you drag me down with you I hear you say
you'll do anything anything anything
to keep your nightmares away.
And I feel afraid - what does this mean?
Won't go away - what does this mean?
And the fear in your face - what does this mean?
What does this mean? What does this mean?
What does this mean?
Freefall,
freefall.
Freefall,
free for all…
Now I'm face-down in your pillow
while all the scariest scenes from the day
go dancing round the maypole,
dancing round the maypole,
round and around and around.
We spin round and around
till we splash to the ground
like the jewels I brushed from your face
smiling: "Vodka! - into tomorra!"
half a universe away.
But you're sleeping so peaceful now.
I hope that your dreams are all sweeter than
your realities.
I hope that your dreams are all sweeter than
this reality.
And I feel afraid - what does this mean?
Won't go away - what does this mean?
And the fear in your face - what does this mean?
What does this mean? What does this mean?
What does this mean?
Well you broke my heart twice tonight
but everything will be alright,
yeah, everything will be alright
if we just
keep
falling.
