All Fall Down Lyrics

Step out the door and it feels like rain
That's the sound (that's the sound) on your window pane
Take to the streets but you can't ignore
That's the sound (that's the sound) you're waiting for

You feel that your world starts crashing down
Whenever you're world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
That's when you find me

Yeah God love your soul and your aching bones
Take a breath, take a step, maybe down below
Everyone's the same
Our fingers to our toes
We just can't get a ride
But we're on the road

If ever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
That's when you find me

(Yeah) Lost 'til you're found
Swim 'til you drown

Know that we all fall down
Love 'til you hate
Strong 'til you break
Know that we all fall down

If ever your world starts crashing down
Whenever your world starts crashing down
If ever your world starts crashing down
That's when you'll find (find) me

Lost 'til you're found
Swim 'til you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love 'til you hate
Strong 'til you break
Know that we all fall down

All fall down, we all fall down, all fall down
We all fall down, all fall down, all fall down

Lost 'til you're found
Swim 'til you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love 'til you hate
Strong 'til you break
Know that we all fall down

it's not "WILL" starts crashing down, EatChex. hplo2PWNZ and MegaMEGERR are right; it's "world". I'm sure the band would agree as well since that's how it's typed in the booklet that comes with the c.d.

Anyway, I love this song... and I would love to say that line to someone as well. You know how some music reminds you of a certain time in your life? This c.d. will always remind me of this boy I met recently who I'm absolutely crazy about but he's from a different country.... so now whenever I listen to this music, I'm going to be sad because we can never be together!

Oh well. I still love the band.

@kayangel70 I was definitely wrong . Kudos to you folks for correcting a younger version of me :P

"If ever your world starts crashing down Whenever your world starts crashing down Whenever your world starts crashing down That's when you'll find me"

Another brilliant song. This song to me means we are all human. We all make mistakes and we all fail. He speaks to a loved one saying don't worry we all fall down once or twice in life, but when your world statrs crashing down I will be there to the end to help mend your brokeness. Such a powerful song

I absolutely positively love this song. Because of this song and 'Apologize' I bought the CD via iTunes. I agree with PyarForever about the powerful message. My favorite thing about the thing is actually the string piece in the middle, when the violins come in together in harmony. (I'm only guessing violins; I played clarinet in high school, not strings lol).

But all in all, it's such a great song, it makes you realize that no one on this planet is perfect, so don't give up.

This song in amazing. I think it means that everyone falls. Everyone has a down point in their life. Or, I also think it means like, the singer feels broken and his world has fallen down. "If ever your world starts crashin down, that's where you'll find me"

go the cello!!!

what a mesmerising performance. the lyrics are simple, but they describe me perfectly. just yesterday i had a friend come to me with his world crashing down. my media player was on shuffle and this song came on and i had a bit of a laugh. i was told that all OneRepublic songs have 'religious meanings' (what? as if they can't have any other interpretations?) meanings and interpretations are two COMPLETELY different things. interpretation implies opinion, while meaning implies FACT.

oh, and after having said all that, angela shut up you blind sheep. so you can twist words around to make the song about God, that just drives me nuts. god doesn't love your aching bones. he loves you if you're heterosexual, white, rich and you donate lots of money.

so true i back this up a hundred %

"he loves you if you're heterosexual, white, rich and you donate lots of money." Sorry, but that's not true. God loves you no matter who you are. And I suppose people think that OneRepublic songs have "religious meanings" (it would probably be Christian meanings, btw), because the members of the band are Christians. But that doesn't mean that they have to be seen that way, nor that every one of them have meanings relevant to God/Christianity.

Might I just say, that last line is honestly one of the single most idiotic thing I have ever heard, and I can only hope and pray you do not go around preaching that to people.

omgomgomg i LOVE this song.

"whenever your world starts crashing down that's when you'll find me"

It's If ever your WILL starts crashing down".... Not world. I had it submitted correctly.

You are wrong.

I think this song is about how the person singing it wants to help their friend in need and he tells them to hang on because we all fall down but when you do, I'll be here to help you out.

i love the beginning of the song up until the end of the first paragraph, i'll start it over like 3 times before i listen to the whole song. i don't know why though.
