Fairground Attraction Falling Backwards
Like water wears away a stone
Time gently erodes memories
And when love's been replaced
By a bitter aftertaste
It's hard to recall
Just what started it all
But I remembered what I thought I'd forgotten
When I saw you again today
I resisted and I can be stubborn
But my resistance just crumbled away
And now I'm falling backwards
Into your arms again
Days turned to years and went by
And my tears eventually dried
But the salt that remained
Made me thirsty again
Well, nobody's all bad
And I couldn't stay mad
When I remembered what I thought I'd forgotten
When I saw you again today
I resisted and I can be stubborn
But my resistance just crumbled away
And now I'm falling backwards
Into your arms again
Oh, sweetness, it's madness
To start this all again
But when we kiss
I'll gladly let them come
And certify me insane, oh
I remembered that heat wave summer
We were practically kids
You persisted and I surrendered
And we were glad when I finally did
Now I'm falling backwards
Into your arms again
Falling backwards
Falling backwards
Falling backwards
Into your arms again
