lyrics

She’s a force majeure, prettier
And you’re falling fast like a meteor
You remind yourself to take it slow
But your heart’s lit up like a big rainbow

And you fall, yeah you fall
Down and down and down you go
You fall with nothing to hold onto
Oh, oh

And you’re more than certain that she’s the one
In those early days you can’t find nothing wrong
But you change and sometimes she doesn’t change along
Sometimes you wish for more than she becomes

And you fall, yeah you fall
Down and down and down you go
You fall with nothing to hold onto
Oh, oh

She loves you, she loves you more than this crazy, crazy world
You won’t stray far away from her and everything you’ve built

She’s a force majeure, slightly grayer
There’s a longing that stirs brings you back together
You remind yourself, this is how it goes
When your heart’s tied up to the end of a rainbow

You fall, yeah you fall
Down and down and down you go
You fall with nothing to hold onto
Oh, oh, oh
