Falling Lyrics – beabadoobee

[Verse 1]
He left me with no answers
Ten minutes before my show
So I got on a plane for nine hours
Just to cry all the way home

[Verse 2]
But I guess it was necessary
And no less than the ordinary
Met this guy and he’s so refreshing
Oh god, I can get used to this
Oh god, I can get used to this

[Chorus]
He’s got blue eyes, tan skin
Oh, he’s perfect and he knows it
Cool guy, and that’s just the way I like it
Had my eye on him for a long tim
uess I’ll stick around for the meantime
Oh god, I think I’m falling
Oh god, I think I’m falling

[Verse 3]
Heart got broke the second time
Whilst it was broken for awhile
Oh, what’s the use in trying when the love is burnt out?
That’s something we never figured out

[Bridge]
So I put my new shoes on
And go for a run
And get the job done
And maybe fall in love for the second time

[Chorus]
He’s got blue eyes, tan skin
Oh, he’s perfect and he knows it
Cool guy, and that’s just the way I like it
Had my eye on him for the meantime
Guess I’ll stick around for a long time
Oh god, I think I’m falling
Oh god, I think I’m falling
