Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I feel I'm tripping
Every time you look at me
Little pieces of my armor
Start to melt away

I feel I'm slipping
On the truth I never speak
Every step I take toward you
Makes the ground under me weak

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been holding on to steady
Like it's all I've ever known
But your heartbeat pulls me closer
Than my fear will let me go

[Chorus]
Can I fall?
If I let my whole heart open, would you stay at all?
(Can I fall?)
Ooo
Can I fall?
If I give in to the moment, let the last of my guard dissolve
(Can I fall?)
Would you hear me when I call?
Would you help me if I stall?
Tell me...
Can I fall?
(I'm tripping, I'm slipping, I'm leaning)
But is it safe to fall?
(I'm tripping, I'm slipping, I'm leaning)
But is it safe to fall?
(I'm tripping, I'm slipping, I'm leaning)
But is it safe to fall?
(I'm tripping, I'm slipping, I'm leaning)
But is it safe to fall?

[Verse 2]
I feel I'm leaning
Into places I can trust
Every promise that you whisper
Feels like daylight rising up

I feel I'm breathing
In a way I never have
Like the air is full of something
I've been scared to ever ask

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been careful with my hoping
Didn't wanna risk the climb
But the way you say my name
Feels like stepping back in time

[Chorus]
Can I fall?
If I let my whole heart open, would you stay at all?
(Can I fall?)
Ooo
Can I fall?
If I give in to the moment, let the last of my guard dissolve
(Can I fall?)
Would you hear me when I call?
Would you help me if I stall?
Tell me...
Can I fall?
(I'm tripping, I'm slipping, I'm leaning)
But is it safe to fall?
(I'm tripping, I'm slipping, I'm leaning)
But is it safe to fall?
(I'm tripping, I'm slipping, I'm leaning)
But is it safe to fall?
(I'm tripping, I'm slipping, I'm leaning)
But is it safe to fall?
