lyrics

Falling Up
(Winters/Sherman)

There are some pretty brilliant people
Digging into dirt
What matters in the matter
When they make it all revert
To some tiny little pieces
Just floating in the air
But when they stare right at it
Looks like there's nothing there
 
How can that be
What does it even mean
If everything's illusion
And the world is running lean
If the joke is on us
And nothing's false and nothing's true
Then I'm running right out this door
And I'm running right back to you
 
I'M FALLING UP BABE
SLIPPING SIDEWAYS NOW
EVERYTHING IS CRAZY
AND ONE AND ONE MUST BE THREE
IF THE WORLD IS SPINNING BACKWARDS
ARE YOU IN LOVE WITH ME
 
Well Einstein didn't like it
But he didn't known which was worse
If God does or doesn't gamble
Or play dice with the universe
If my clock is ticking strangely
And my north is going south
Then I'm breathing too much oxygen
And my heart is in my mouth
 
I'M FALLING UP BABE...
 
Oh oh oh
Everything is straining at the seams
Oh oh oh
Tell me are we living in a dream
 
It was the middle of the night
And I was laying on the ground
Looking up at the stars above
When my phone made that sound
Your message made me shiver
Coming in out of the blue
You said I'm looking up at the stars above
And I'm thinking about you too
 
I'M FALLING UP BABE....
 
Oh oh oh
Everything is straining at the seams
Oh oh oh
Tell me are we living in a dream
 

You may be on the other side of the planet my dear
But may I have this dance
 
I'M FALLING UP BABE
SLIPPING SIDEWAYS NOW
EVERYTHING IS CRAZY
AND ONE AND ONE MUST BE THREE
IF THE WORLD IS SPINNING BACKWARDS
ARE YOU IN LOVE WITH ME
 
Oh oh oh
Everything is straining at the seams
Oh oh oh
Tell me are we living in a dream
Oh oh oh
Tell me are we living....
