If I Fall Lyrics

(When I get)
(When I get)

When I get close to something beautiful
Then I feel love because I know I'll never have it for too long
I've been every where
I'm like an institution
I fell down upon myself
Just to pray for sweet solution
If I fall
Fall

When I get home I swear I'm going to change my ways
And I'll stop dancing and never let it living up these days
I say all the words but lack a real solution
I tell all of my friends to stick around and see who's right
And If I fall
Fall
Help me if I fall
Help me if I fall
Don't let me go
You got to give me the strength that got me
To get me by, to get me high
To help me take over this city
Well let it go
Darling let it go
Don't let it go
Oh no don't let it

And if I fall
Fall
And if I fall
Help me if I fall
Help me if I fall
Yeah Help me if I fall
Help me if I fall

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

people, start putting some comments, this is a great song. Pretty upbeat. But somehow the meaning eludes me.

This song is about an addiction, at least that is how I take it. The lines "When I get home I swear I'm going to change my ways" or "I say all the words but lack a real solution"... This sound to me like the people that have addictions, they know exactly what to say to and will do whatever it takes to get their fix. This to me is reaffirmed by the line "You got to give me the strength that got me, To get me by, to get me high"

I think this is titled if I fall because he knows the fall is coming sometime. That's my take, I don't really know what Rob had in mind!
