Falling Alone Again

from Like Fries Love Ketchup by Manko

/

about

It all literally happened just like this, paper crane, roses and all. Last time I saw her she was on TV advertising some fitness program. She should've been singing or playing bass.

lyrics

Believing the evening held nothing more than came before
I shuffled through the door
Discovered another adrift and drowning, going down
Two loners lost and found

And I thought I saw seasons in her eyes
And I felt all the roses start to rise
I was well on my way to some new heaven
A familiar feeling - falling alone again.

She noticed the roses and then again the paper crane
And in the rain I - I - I - I
I stuttered and stammered, so damn enamored of her smile
Falling all the while

The most beautiful blemish on her cheek
Made me feel just a little less a freak
I was well on my way to some new heaven
Before I started stalling - falling alone again

Whenever this clever boy gets thunderstruck by someone new
He'll think of you, and how
He'll measure his pleasure by its proximity to pain
And I'll blow it all again

Will I see all the seasons in her eyes?
Will I find myself tempted once more to try?
I'll be well on my way to some new heaven
A familiar feeling - falling alone again.
