Out Falls The Past Lyrics

You hold the key to whether we will ever last
I know I can't forever hide behind this mask
'Cause everytime I fall in love, out falls the past

You'll hear my reputation anywhere you ask
They'll say I'm always chasing, so the die is cast
'Cause everytime I fall in love, out falls the past

Everytime I find somebody, the whispering begins
About how I change my women like traffic switches lanes
But girl, believe me, I'm the one that's changed

Back then, the girls, I guess, I kissed and got out fast
But that's all you need to know then girl, you should have asked
Everytime I fall in love, out falls the past

Everytime I find somebody, the whispering begins
About how I change my women like traffic switches lanes
But girl, believe me, I'm the one that's changed

You hold the key to whether we will ever last
But I hold when we're together; I ain't ever held on another so fast
'Cause everytime I fall in love, out falls the past

Cover art for Out Falls The Past lyrics by Del Amitri

Justin Currie interview from The Scotsman 22nd March 2002.

Out Falls the Past is about a man who "changes women like traffic switches lanes". Is it personal? "Not really. To sound horribly 1980s for a moment, I'm a serial monogamist. But it becomes harder and harder for the opposite sex to trust you if they know your romantic history." He's in a relationship at the moment. "If I ever try being a floozie, women run a mile."
