It's like jumpin It's like leapin It's like walkin on the ceilin It's like floatin It's like flyin through the air It's like soarin It's like glidin It's a rocket ship you're ridin It's a feelin that can take you anywhere So why they call it fallin Why they call it fallin Why they call it fallin I don't know There was passion There was laughter The first mornin after I just couldn't get my feet to touch the ground Every time we were together We talked about forever I was certain it was Heaven we had found So why they call it fallin Why they call it fallin Why they call it fallin I don't know But you can't live your life Walkin in the clouds Sooner or later You have to come down It's like a knife Through the heart And it all comes apart It's like someone takes a pin to your balloon It's a hole It's a cave It's kinda like a grave When he tells you that he's found somebody new So why they call it fallin Why they call it fallin Why they call it fallin Now I know Ooh, why they call it fallin Why they call it fallin Now I know
