As you fall (I watch with love) Lyrics
with your face turned to the bedroom-lamp,
you're sleeping
it's light a cheap replacement for the sun
and the pouring water in the pipes around us
just like waves rolling to the shore
this is what you get
this is what you get
the plan's much bigger than you ever expected
but no one's gonna tell you you're not perfect
as you stand there with your head in a million pieces
and you know it's gonna be...
and every dream draws a picture of what you've seen
mixed with what you want
so you'll think of me like I think of you,
like a substitute for something
and then you'll laugh and say:
"I'm probably better off dead,
I'm probably dry all the way,
I'm probably boring you out
I'm probably locking you up, throwing the keys away
I'm probably the last thing you need on your mind.
I'm probably drunk by now
probably laughing my head off
without even noticing..."
but no one's gonna tell you you're not perfect
as you lay there with your head in a million pieces
no, no one's gonna tell you it's not worth it
when you know it's gonna be
allright
you're sleeping
it's light a cheap replacement for the sun
and the pouring water in the pipes around us
just like waves rolling to the shore
this is what you get
this is what you get
the plan's much bigger than you ever expected
as you stand there with your head in a million pieces
and you know it's gonna be...
mixed with what you want
so you'll think of me like I think of you,
like a substitute for something
and then you'll laugh and say:
I'm probably dry all the way,
I'm probably boring you out
I'm probably locking you up, throwing the keys away
I'm probably the last thing you need on your mind.
I'm probably drunk by now
probably laughing my head off
without even noticing..."
as you lay there with your head in a million pieces
no, no one's gonna tell you it's not worth it
when you know it's gonna be
allright

I think it´s about two lovers who both know they´re not good for each other so they kinda break up even though they don´t want to. One of them get real upset, and says the "I´m probably..." sentenses, because it feels hopeless. The ending is about how he cares for her and that in his eyes, is she perfect. I think he also tries to say that she need to hang on and be strong because she´ll be ok.
How I love this song. It went right into my heart the first time I heard it and it´s still stuck in there.
