The Rumjacks - Falling Back Lyrics

Last night, I saw you in a sullen light
With a sapphire glow that painted you
Like I never saw before

And I tried, to find a corner of my mind
Where I kept all the wreckage away from you
And buried it below

Two faced memories
Never paint a picture like it used to be
Tied tight and free of blight
Just like past futures always bright

You could shape finest ocean sand,
You'll still never hold the water in your hand
We bowed at curtain call
While proudly, standing tall

First we feel. Then we fall.

Falling back into the past and dying
Falling back into the past we're going, without knowing

So I hit the bricks,
Because my mind was playin tricks
What's dead is dead so don't wait for me
To dig it up again

And I'll find
a way to leave it all behind
Hold to the now, the here,
And through the future's fallin fast

Two faced memories
Never paint a picture like it used to be
We trade the brass for gold
We stagger in our woes

If I could reach across the desert sand
I still couldn't hold the fire your hand
In solace, built a wall
I watched your eyes dissolve

First we feel, then we fall

Another spiral that we can't control
For a time that we just could believe in
A cruel possession that we can't let go
For a time that we just could be seen in

Another spiral that we can't control
For the sake of growth and falling down and bleedin'
Another spiral that we can't control
We're dull and cold
