Falling Is Like This Lyrics - Out Of Range - Ani Difranco

You give me that look that's like laughing 

With liquid in your mouth 

Like you're choosing between choking 

And spitting it all out 

Like you're trying to fight gravity 

On a planet that insists 

That love is like falling 

And falling is like this 

Feels like reckless driving when we're talking 

It's fun while it lasts, and it's faster than walking 

But no one's going to sympathize when we crash 

They'll say "you hit what you head for, you get what you ask" 

And we'll say we didn't know, we didn't even try 

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

I'm sorry I can't help you, I cannot keep you safe 

I'm sorry I can't help myself, so don't look at me that way 

We can't fight gravity on a planet that insists 

That love is like falling 

And falling is like this.
