Falling For The First Time
I'm so cool, too bad I'm a loser
I'm so smart, too bad I can't get anything figured out
I'm so brave, too bad I'm a baby
I'm so fly, thats probably why it
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time
I'm so green, it's really amazing
I'm so clean, too bad I can't get all this dirt off me
I'm so sane, it's driving me crazy
It's so strange, I can't believe it
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time
Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has it's cost
Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost
What if I lost my direction? What if I lost sense of time?
What if I nursed this infection? Maybe the worst is behind
And it feels just like I'm falling for the first time
I'm so chill, no wonder it's freezing
I'm so still, I just can't keep my fingers out of anything
I'm so thrilled to finally be failing
I'm so done, turn me over 'cause it
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time
Anything plain can be lovely, anything loved can be lost
Maybe I lost my direction, what if our love is the cost?
Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has it's cost
Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost
What if I lost my direction? What if I lost sense of time?
What if I nursed this infection? Maybe the worst is behind
And it feels just like I'm falling for the first time

Original Album (Maroon) Version: Jim Creeggan: Electric bass, vocals. Kevin Hearn: Piano, synth, vocals. Steven Page: Vocals. Ed Robertson: Lead vocal, acoustic and electric guitars. Tyler Stewart: Drums, vocals. with Rob "Tiny" Menegoni: Tambourine. We wanted to write a song about a perfectionist who discovers the joy in failing - how he's got to learn to fall before he learns to fly, and how that makes him feel a freedom he's never felt before. I guess that's why we removed the lyrics that Ed had improvised; - Steven Page, 2001. |
