Falling Is Like This - Lyrics by Difranco Ani


Lyrics
You give me that look that's like laughingwith liquid in your mouthlike you're choosing between chokingand spitting it all outlike you're trying to fight gravityon a planet that insiststhat love is like fallingand 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 tryone 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 waywe can't fight gravity on a planet that insiststhat love is like fallingand falling is like this.
