"Falling out of Love"

Took you out to my hometown

Where I learned to be alone

Ridin' up the mountainside

Where all the world's here

Linger on to praise the dawn

Different boots, same old song

I'm in love with a ghost

Be always and never alone

I denied, for a while

Fallin' out of love for the first time

Some things are flawed by design

But I'm fine for the first time

Dancin' in acid rain alone it's new

But I don't wanna do it anymore

I guess I'll sing alone

There once was a boy turned to Lucifer

He haunted many spaces, got lost down many streets

Mmm, sailed the seven seas, hunted wild rhinocer-es

Please don't call me, "Man," I'm no fancy fallen angel

Finally fell in love, finally found some relief

Finally found his lover in the arms of a thief

Mostly found an angle, holding on for now

And denied, for a while

Fallin' out of love for the first time

Some things are flawed by design

But I'm fine for the first time

Dancin' in acid rain, alone it's new

But I don't wanna do it anymore

I guess I'll sing alone

Two things can be true, good times I had wit' you

To the cozy, cotton bedded sheets at night looked dread

Past the hall of judging heads, family portraits of the dead

I know they felt the same power

Sitting in the shadow, count my blessings

No one gotta find out why

I guess you wanna know

In a way, this could be big news

Not a crime, not a lie

Fallin' out of love for the first time

Some thing's flawed or by design

But I'm fine for the first time

Dancin' in acid rain, alone with you

But I don't wanna face it anymore, know I’m immature

Over time, overnight

'Cause I can't go through it anymore

Hollywood here I come

I know what it was, why it was

Lookin' for something else

Someone please call it in on the radio

We got a problem here

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Be an adult, you’re bein' a child

No one wants to play

Grindin' your gear

I know it's not enough

We didn’t wanna hear another lecturing

Oh, puttin' on a show

Grindin' your gear
