Falling Off A Log Lyrics

Woke up this morning to the smell of rain
Tears running down your window pane
Little pictures on your telephone
To remind you that you're not alone
Through the curtains see the breaking sun
Let you know you're not the only one

With your eyes closed
You can count the fingers on one hand
You've been sleeping with the wrong man
Couldn't see through the thick fog
And now you're falling off a log

Looked at your diamond it was just a fake
Your heart was sleeping now it's wide awake
And all your girlfriends in the living room
Sit and tell you it was never you
Trailing Scoubidous and Pokemon

Taxi's here now so come on, come on
Let's get out there
No looking back, it's just history
You've been barking up the wrong tree
Now just follow your own nose
You can do it with your eyes closed

Count the fingers on one hand
You've been sleeping with the wrong man
Teaching tricks to an old dog
And now you're falling off a log
Falling off a log
You can do it with your eyes closed

Late In The Afternoon

Woke up this morning to the smell of rain 
Tears running down your window pane 
Little pictures on your telephone 
To remind you that you're not alone 
Through the curtains see the breaking sun 
Let you know you're not the only one

With your eyes closed 
You can count the fingers on one hand 
You've been sleeping with the wrong man 
Couldn't see through the thick fog 
And now you're falling off a log

Looked at your diamond it was just a fake 
Your heart was sleeping now it's wide awake 
And all your girlfriends in the living room 
Sit and tell you it was never you 
Trailing Scoubidous and Pokemon
 
Taxi's here now so come on, come on 
Let's get out there 
No looking back, it's just history 
You've been barking up the wrong tree 
Now just follow your own nose 
You can do it with your eyes closed

Count the fingers on one hand 
You've been sleeping with the wrong man 
Teaching tricks to an old dog 
And now you're falling off a log 
Falling off a log 
You can do it with your eyes closed

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.
