Songtext The way we fall Alela Diane

The way we fall

It was back in my home town
Drinking whiskey from the bottle
It was an indian summer
Wild fires were burning

I didn’t know it was the last time
You never know when it’s the last time
I didn’t know it was the last time

I walked miles after midnight
To a filthy attic room
I can still evoke the stale smoke
Of his cigarettes, cigarettes, cigarettes

I didn’t know it was the last time
You never know when it’s the last time
I didn’t know it was the last time

Tim was on the sidewalk
With his empty, ocean eyes
He was smiling like a shadow
And would never age, never age, never age

I didn’t know it was the last time
You never know when it’s the last time
I didn’t know it was the last time

A vision blurred through colored glass
The white washed walls of summer's passed
The smoldering I do recall
The hopeless fade, the way we fall
The way we fall
The way we fall
The way we fall
