Fallingwater Lyrics

Hold on, I thought that I could take it from here
Oh, I thought that I was gone and I'm cleared
Now it's getting harder (ooh)
Hold on, I thought that I was doing so well
Oh, like everything was under a spell
Now it's getting harder

I never loved you fully in the way I could
I fought the current running just the way you would
And now I'm in the creek
And it's getting harder
I'm like falling water

Go on and tell me just what I'm supposed to say
As if it could be any other way
Oh, it's getting louder
Go on and tell me just how I could allow
All that's light to end up somehow
Where it's getting darker

I never loved you fully in the way I could
I fought the current running just the way you would
And now I'm stuck upstream
And it's getting harder
I'm like falling water, falling water, falling water

Mm, mm, mm, mm

And I'm like falling water, set me free
You were like falling water coming down on me

I never loved you fully in the way I could
I fought the current running just the way you would
And now I'm in the creek

I never gave you everything, I wish I could (and it was coming down on me)
I should've seen it coming from where you stood (and I was standing in the creek)
But now I'm in the creek (and I'm like falling water, set me free)
(Now we're like falling water down in the creek)
And it's getting harder (and it was coming down on me)
And it was falling down on me (and I was standing in the creek)
And I was standing in the creek (you were like falling water)
I'm like falling water (now we're like falling water)
(In the creek, ooh, ooh)

What is the Meaning of Fallingwater?

Navigating the turbulent waters of a complex relationship, this poignant track explores the struggle of letting go and moving forward. The lyrics indicate a sense of regret for not fully loving someone and fighting against the natural flow of the relationship. The metaphor of 'falling water' symbolizes the artist's feeling of being overwhelmed and swept away by her emotions. She acknowledges that she is stuck upstream, finding it increasingly difficult to resist the current. Her plea for freedom suggests a desire to be released from these emotional shackles. The song serves as an introspective journey where Rogers is coming to terms with her actions, their consequences, and her subsequent feelings.
