You don't want to go there
Let me lead you by the hand
You don't want to be there
Over the sea and down to land
As I look into your eyes

I pay no mind
I found the way
To get inside you
I'd give you peace of mind
Am I see you falling?
Am I see you falling?
Am I see you falling beautiful
The same

I don't see you falling,
I don't see you falling,
I don't see you falling beautiful
Sometimes

You don't want to go there
Let me lead you by the hand
You don't want to be there
Over the sea and down to land
As I look into your eyes
I pay no mind
I found the way
To get inside you

I'd give you peace of mind
Am I see you falling?
Am I see you falling?
Am I see you falling beautiful
The same
I don't see you falling,
I don't see you falling,
I don't see you falling beautiful
Sometimes

Here and again
And there you're
Falling, falling, falling,
Falling, falling, falling
Am I see you falling?
Am I see you falling?
Am I see you falling beautiful
The same

I don't see you falling,
I don't see you falling,
I don't see you falling beautiful
Sometimes

Am I see you falling?
Am I see you falling?
Am I see you falling beautiful
The same

I don't see you falling,
I don't see you falling,
I don't see you falling beautiful
Sometimes

Falling, falling, free
I don't see you falling,
I don't see you falling,
Corrupt, a plea for free will
An irresponsible harass show
It has been suggested
That this is contradictory
