Falling Slowly (ft. Madalena Alberto)

Falling Slowly

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice; you have a choice;
You'll make it now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
For you have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice; you have a choice;
You'll make it now
Falling slowly, sing your melody
I'll sing along
Take it all
I played the cards too late
Now you're gone
I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice; you have a choice;
You'll make it now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
And you have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won, yeah
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice; you have a choice;
You've made it now
Falling slowly, sing your melody
I'll sing along
Take it all
Oh, I played the cards too late
Now it's gone
