Don't Want To Fall - The Narrative

This is a decision that I know full well I made

I remind myself as I’m walking up to your gate

And through the wire diamonds I can see your shape

You’re fumbling around with your keys

You say we can sit and stay but I’m trouble keeping up with you pleasantries

Don’t you find them unsettling, can we go walking?

That’s probably a good idea;

yeah It’s probably a good idea

'Cause I don’t want to fall in love with you again

I’m so afraid I’m capable of it

And after time I can’t accept you’re still the song on my breath

You’re not easy to forget

Moving in rhythm, footsteps aligned

I’m doing okay 'till your arm brushes mine and then I panic

I thought I figured it out, but I’m taken aback

As we pass the closing stores and lit up cafes

There are so many of them these days;

so many strangers.

Their walking around

in our place, in our place

And suddenly it’s all unclear;

yeah suddenly it’s all unclear

Yeah this probably was a bad idea;

yeah this probably was a bad idea

'Cause I don’t want to fall in love with you again

I’m so afraid I’m capable of it

And after time I can’t accept you’re still the song on my breath

You’re not easy to forget

We used to own these streets, head to head, you spinning me

And now we say that we were young, and what we had has come and gone

We used to own these streets, head to head, you spinning me

Your back’s against a concrete wall

Your body buzzing on the intercom, the intercom, the intercom, the intercom

We woke the neighbors, it’s no wonder they hate us, on every single floor
