Lyrics
One two three and four,
You swept me up with instant rapport,
Stole my heart made a new start,
Made me think we'd never part.
Five six seven eight,
The plans we made were to create,
A life together for all time,
Being with you is so sublime.
Nine ten eleven twelve,
Then I heard those wedding bells,
Our future seemed so secure,
Your words just reassured.
Falling falling falling down,
You'd make me laugh with your silly frown,
Pick me up and spin me around,
What we've got is so profound.
Falling falling falling down,
You'd make me laugh with your silly frown,
Pick me up and spin me around,
What we've got is so profound.
One two three and four,
Overdue I couldn't ignore,
Your answer was to love me more,
You're the one I'll always adore.
Five six seven eight,
You started coming home late,
Over time to make ends meet,
Suddenly saw you less every week.
Nine ten eleven twelve,
The laughter stopped I heard a new sound,
Said you weren't sure anymore,
You swore at me as you slammed the door.
Falling falling falling down,
It must be me I can turn it around,
I'll make it work make a new start,
I'd rather die than live apart.
One two three and four,
Counting my cares I'm so insecure,
Moving inside you make me cry,
Your daddy just left not telling us why.
Five six seven eight,
Waited til dark waited til late,
Climbed the stairs as fast as I could,
Pausing for breath that's understood.
Nine ten eleven twelve,
Reached the roof stared at the ground,
Took a deep breath a concrete blur,
Stepping right off as your life in me stirred.
Falling falling falling down,
Past the cars towards the ground,
The cold night air too fast too loud,
His words of love now a distant sound.
Falling falling falling down,
Just you and me as we reach the ground,
Please don't think me too absurd,
Can't bear your cries going unheard.
Falling falling falling down,
You'll make me laugh with your silly frown,
I'll pick you up and spin you around,
Falling falling falling down.
We're falling falling falling down,
The two of us I'll never let you down,
I'll pick you up and spin you around,
Falling falling falling...
