Falling

All year long
I've been bracing for the fall
Autumn comes
And blows the leaves from the trees that seemed so strong
Who can see the beauty in a scrawny naked tree?
Who can show love in a season when it stands
Barren and transparently?

All year long
I've been bracing for the fall
Long Johns on
I got my heart wrapped in layers
In case things go wrong

'Cause if I was seen
Would I stand to be
Held by a lover unconditionally
Or would I fall
At the hands of a player
Into misery

And they say
If you take the chance with your heart
You'll either fall in love or fall apart
And I say
I'm the girl that never fails to try
Even, If it means I fall
A thousand times

I keep falling
But one day
I'll be falling into love
I keep falling
But one day I'll be falling into love
I keep falling
But one day
I'll be falling into love

All year long
You've been bracing for the fall
Summers gone
Along with friends that would share drinks
On your front lawn
If it were me, would I stay to see
Spring time bring you back in all your glory?
Or would I leave like the autumn leaves
As the fall rolls in with a bitter breeze?

All year long
You've been bracing for the fall
But all my love came back in bloom
When the sunshine healed my old wounds
Could you trust me to love tenderly
I left my baggage at the cemetery
And I don't foresee that I'd cause you grief
But the good Lord knows that there's no guarantee

And they say
If you take the chance with the heart
You'll either fall in love or fall apart
And I say
I'm the girl that never fails to try
Even If it means I fall
A thousand times

I keep falling
But one day
I'll be falling into love
I keep falling
But one day
I'll be falling into love
I keep falling
But one day
I'll be falling into love
One of these days
I'll be falling into love
Falling into love
Ooo Ooo
One day I'll be falling into love
One day
One of these days
You gon' see me falling into love
Ooo Ooo
