Before you jump
You wear the frown
Of someone who is stalling
There's no up there's only down
In the void of falling
All you need to do is take
One step into the sky
Give yourself to gravity
Give death another try
In free fall, free fall
The wind will take your frightened face
And force your mouth to smile
While destiny is on your case
The gods look up your file
The clouds are coming at you
Like a host of angels wings
For thirty seconds of freedom squared
You've cut the puppet strings
In free fall
Mirror, mirror, how far will I go?
Despite the foundation, I am falling
Oh, sweet reflection
Will you save a place for me?
Where am I heading?
Could you grant me a haven?
For what I am punished
Could I ever repent?
Oh, mother nature, I?m wide open
Waiting for you to move me
Don?t keep it from me
This is the free fall
This is the free fall
I never seem to understand
The time, the place and who I am
Define a way to stay alive
It?s like I?m living a lie
Father time, every time I stop and feel
You?re there to tell me I?m already late
Don?t keep it from me
This is the free fall
I never seem to understand
The time, the place and who I am
It?s like I?m living a lie
I never seem to understand
The time, the place and who I am
Define a way to stay alive
It?s like I?m living a lie
I never seem to understand
The time, the place and who I am
Define a way to stay alive
[Kelly Rowland - Verse 1]
Been walking in tightrope my whole life
I'm here on my own and I'm afraid of the heights
I'm ready to fall but wonder will I survive
But then you came along,
And now I'm taking the dive, the dive
I want jump off a plane
But without parachute
Cuz I won't hit the ground
Long as I have you
I wanna lift up in air
Without a safety net
Cause I know that you'll catch me
[Chorus]
I wanna free fall, into your arms
I wanna free fall, into your arms
I know that you'll catch me
Just count to five
I wanna free fall, into your arms
Free fall
[Kelly Rowland - Verse 2]
I'm just by the (?)
Crashing up in the sky
But with you standing by,
I'm only waiting to fly
I want jump off a plane
But without parachute
Cuz I won't hit the ground
Long as I have you
I wanna lift up in air
Without a safety net
Cause I know that you'll catch me
[Chorus]
I wanna free fall, into your arms
I wanna free fall, into your arms
I know that you'll catch me
Just count to five
I wanna free fall, into your arms
I slept straight through to eight a.m.
That same old lame alarm clock excuse just ain't gonna work again
Well, I had a Marlboro for breakfast on the way out the door
That's the third day this month I had too many the night before
And judging from the past
It won't be the last
It's a free fall
When your back's against the wall
When you hit rock bottom and the bottom drops out
How's a man supposed to stand tall
Well the high life ain't my life
I can't walk a line and I damn sure ain't gonna crawl
Just living in a free fall
With a shovel in my hand and a hammer in my head
Right about now I can think of a thousand things I'd rather do instead
But I'm digging this hole for my dignity
I think I've finally come to understand workin' for the Man ain't workin' for me
I can only take so much
My only way to go is up
From a free fall
When your back's against the wall
When you hit rock bottom and the bottom drops out
How's a man supposed to stand tall
Well the high life ain't my life
I can't walk a line and I damn sure ain't gonna crawl
Living in a free fall
It's a free fall
When your back's against the wall
When you hit rock bottom and the bottom drops out
How's a man supposed to stand tall
Well the high life ain't my life
I can't walk a line and I damn sure ain't gonna crawl
Just living in a free fall
Is there somewhere we can stay together,
Somewhere we can make the same mistakes yeah,
Looks like Michaels dad will face the river,
Don't you change, rearrange what I've said,
I need something that is more substantial,
Fashions change, will they change what I wear?
Don't run inside,
I can't find the time,
Just to relieve my mind,
And then your ruler goes on,
And you change the way,
How I perceive the day,
In any other way,
And you always feel so rare,
Like you'd never think so,
They'll surround you when I'm there,
And you'll never think so,
Still you've got your health and that's the main thing,
Oh no,
Looking at myself I'd say the same thing,
Don't let Michael change your face, not ever,
Don't you change, rearrange what I've said,
I need something that is more substantial,
Platform sale, go and see your council,
Don't run inside,
I can't find the time,
Just to relieve my mind,
Its heavy breathing time,
And then your ruler goes on,
And you change the way,
How I perceive the day,
In any other way,
And you always feel so rare,
And you'd never think so,
They'll surround you when I'm there,
And you'd never think so,
And you always get so green,
And you'd never think so,
Such a beautiful machine,
And you'll never think so,
And then your ruler goes on,
And you change the way,
How I perceive the day,
[Instrumental]
God I don't know why you're feeling this way
You've got to fucking open up your mind
'Cause I don't feel a thing
I wish that you'd be with me
I wish that you could see that I'm something
I'm not (the man I am)
I wish that you'd be then sing here with me
I wish that you'd be dancing here with me
'Cause life is not a game
Close you lips
We shouldn't speak of this
I'm not the first person to know
It's only me
Out in the cold
Let me feel joy
I really need it
rush in my blood
I want to feel it
And I'm sure
When it's begun
One into two
Always leaves one
Look at the rain
Look at it falling
Into my world
Why are you calling
Won't you come home
I will not hurt you
Will not deserve you
Will not desert you
Look at the rain
Can't you see
you were so indiscreet
Stole all the change off me
How could I know that you would cheat?
Is it what I've done,
I could be, I could become?
I don't need someone else
This is me, beside myself
Look at the rain
Look at it falling
Into my world
Why are you calling
Won't you come home
I will not hurt you
Will not deserve you
Will not desert you
Look at the rain
[Verse 1]
Hands spin off the clock
feels like time will stop
In one moment life falls apart
it's dark and i cant sleep
like Im' buried deep
The weight is choking my heart
[Bridge]
I'm fightin'
I'm lyin'
But this time it's not ok
[Chorus]
when I fall
I fall
I free fall
and there's nothing I can do
but i try
I try
I will try
to hold on
[Verse 2]
Don't levee me all alone
To live in the unknown
Thousand questions with no answers why
Want me to be strong
Don't know for how long
I'm losing control inside
[Bridge]
I'm fighting
I'm lyin'
But this time it's not ok
[Chorus]
When I fall
I fall
I free fall
And there's nothing I can do
But i try
I try
I will try
to hold on
[Breakdown]
Nothing i can do to change this
Nothing you can say will make it
Nothings gonna ever be the same
[Chorus]
when I fall
I fall
I free fall
And there's nothing I can do
But i try
I try
I will try
