Glen Hansard & Markéta Irglová – Falling Slowly Lyrics 12 years ago
My interepretation line by line (some of them):


I don't know you ~ I just met you.
But I want you ~ but I like you a lot
All the more for that ~ because for some reason I want to know all about you.
Words fall through me ~ I'm saying things I usually don't say to other people
And always fool me
And I can't react ~ I'm not sure what to do
And games that never amount ~ I'm starting to play games to make you like me more
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out ~ eventually I'll stop playing games when I know you want me.

Take this sinking boat and point it home ~ say you like me too and want to take me home with you
We've still got time ~ it's early!
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice ~ Say yes, but it's ok if you say no.
You've made it now ~ You agreed!

Falling slowly, eyes that know me ~ falling in love with the person, feeling that they know you the way no one else does.
And I can't go back ~ life before was ok, now with love it is wonderful, if he/she were to lose that love, it would be really tough going back to being alone.
Moods that take me and erase me ~ I forget how I usually act and I'm feeling like a new person.
And I'm painted black - blank
You have suffered enough - You've been through some tough relationships (talking to the person he/she loves)
And warred with yourself ~ You've battled with letting yourself Love me.
It's time that you won ~ You love me now and you have one because it is for real this time.

Take this sinking boat and point it home ~ Let's make a home together.
We've still got time ~ We have time to do all the things we want to do together.
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice - Say yes, but it is ok if you say no.
You've made it now ~ You've made the decision to love me.
Falling slowly sing your melody ~ You lead the way
I'll sing along ~ I'll follow
