Falling Fast

I wrote these as lyrics. :)

Time weaves a love

With his wizened hands,

Molding sparkling glass out of sand.

And oh, all we needed was a shove,

In the right direction.

 

Boy, can’t you see

What we’ve become?

We fed a whole army with just a crumb.

Imagine all that we can be.

We don’t even have to try.

 

And oh, we don’t even know.

Oh, just take things slow,

But it’s hard.

It’s hard when you’re

Falling fast.

 

Oh, I don’t even know.

I can’t take this slow.

Because I’m falling, falling, falling,

Falling, falling, falling, falling...

Fast for you.

 

And that sky

Is the same shade of blue

As the pair of eyes that belong to you.

You know I hate to say goodbye

To them tonight.

 

Your voice, when you say

You’ll always need me,

I’m the only one you see.

Just know that you make my day.

You don’t even have to try.

 

And oh, we don’t even know.

Oh, just take things slow,

But it’s hard.

It’s hard when you’re

Falling fast.

 

Oh, I don’t even know.

I can’t take this slow.

Because I’m falling, falling, falling,

Falling, falling, falling, falling...

Fast for you.

 

Oh,

I don’t even know.

Oh,

Just take it slow.

Oh,

I don’t even know.

Oh,

Just take it slow.

I thought it was very lyric - like. They're very nice lyrics that would do great in the world of music. I like how you described his eyes as the same shade of the sky (misspelt by the way), it was very sweet and makes the person sound so bright. Well done!

[Aeternal Oceanfire]

AWESOME! Now I need to send you a song, "Falling Slowly". It is an amazing song! Great lyrics! have you made up a melody to go with it?

[Kena]

My goodness, these are amazing lyrics. Keep it up, I love your style! :)

The start is quite good and really different from the rest of the piece. It's decent, but it sounds like something that started out as a poem and then transitioned into a lyric as it went on. Still good though.
