Falling Down Lyrics
Like the times that I swore
Like the wine that I poured
Like a blinding fact
You can't ignore
Like the motion
That delivers you forward
'Til you can't go back
Not anymore
Can't dive into an ocean and not leave the ground
Can't trade in your devotion for what you haven't found
Can't go beyond the limit without falling down
Can't go beyond the limit without falling down
And it's not what I say
It's a lot what I do
'Cause you can't go back
Not on your word
It's the moment when you're running on fear
That you can't look back
You live and learn
Can't start at the beginning when you're in-between
Can't know if where you're going's where you haven't been
Can't give away the centre without spinning 'round
Can't go beyond the limit without falling down
Like the signs that I feared
And the lines in the mirror
Like a haunting ghost
That will return
Like the moment when it's suddenly all clear
What I needed most
To live and learn
What a lovely day it is for falling down
(Mmm, what a lovely day it is for falling)
What a lovely day it is for falling down
(Mmm, what a lovely day it is for falling)
Can't go beyond the limit without falling down
Can't go beyond the limit without falling down
Can't bruise below the surface what's not above the skin
Can't lose the war on purpose and not breathe to win
You can't throw away the minutes
You can't go beyond the limit
You can't tell the tale to live it
Without falling down
And it's not what I say
It's a lot what I do
What a lovely day for falling down
What a lovely day it is for falling down
What a lovely day it is for falling down
Like the wine that I poured
Like a blinding fact
You can't ignore
That delivers you forward
'Til you can't go back
Not anymore
Can't trade in your devotion for what you haven't found
Can't go beyond the limit without falling down
Can't go beyond the limit without falling down
It's a lot what I do
'Cause you can't go back
Not on your word
It's the moment when you're running on fear
That you can't look back
You live and learn
Can't know if where you're going's where you haven't been
Can't give away the centre without spinning 'round
Can't go beyond the limit without falling down
And the lines in the mirror
Like a haunting ghost
That will return
Like the moment when it's suddenly all clear
What I needed most
To live and learn
(Mmm, what a lovely day it is for falling)
What a lovely day it is for falling down
(Mmm, what a lovely day it is for falling)
Can't go beyond the limit without falling down
Can't go beyond the limit without falling down
Can't lose the war on purpose and not breathe to win
You can't go beyond the limit
You can't tell the tale to live it
Without falling down
It's a lot what I do
What a lovely day for falling down
What a lovely day it is for falling down
What a lovely day it is for falling down

I absolutely adore this song. It's very light and soft compared to the rest of Dalbello's work (especially on the "Whore" album), and it's just a very uplifting song about growing older and getting through all the obstacles that life brings you.
