"Falling Out Of Love" lyrics

"Falling Out Of Love"

I took you out to my hometown
Where I learned to be alone
Ridin' up the mountainside
Where all the world's here
Linger on to praise the dawn
Different boots, same old song
I'm in love with a ghost
I'll be always and never alone

I denied, for a while
Fallin' out of love for the first time
Some things are flawed by design
But I'm fine for the first time
Dancin' in acid rain alone it's new
But I don't wanna do it anymore
I guess I'll sing alone

There once was a boy turned to Lucifer
He haunted many spaces, got lost down many streets
Mmm, sailed the seven seas, hunted wild rhinocer-es
Please don't call me, "Man," I'm no fancy fallen angel
Finally fell in love, finally found some relief
Finally found his lover in the arms of a thief
Mostly found an angle, holding on for now

And denied, for a while
Fallin' out of love for the first time
Some things are flawed by design
But I'm fine for the first time
Dancin' in acid rain, alone it's new
But I don't wanna do it anymore
I guess I'll sing alone

Two things can be true, good times I had wit' you
To the cozy, cotton bedded sheets at night looked dread
Past the hall of judging heads, family portraits of the dead
I know they felt the same power
Sitting in the shadow, count my blessings
No one gotta find out why
I guess you wanna know
In a way, this could be big news

Let her cry, let her lie
Fallin' out of love for the first time
Some thing's flawed or by design
But I'm fine for the first time
Dancin' in acid rain, alone with you
But I don't wanna face it anymore, know I'm immature
Over time, overnight
'Cause I can't go through it anymore
Hollywood here I come
I know what it was, why it was
Lookin' for something else

Someone please call it in on the radio
We got a problem here
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Be an adult, you're bein' a child
No one wants to play
Grindin' your gear
I know it's not enough
We didn't wanna hear another lecture
Oh, puttin' on a show
Grindin' your gear
