I Wish That I Could Fall is a song about loving someone so much that you can only think of them and want to dedicate your whole life to making them happy. But it’s also about the disconnect between the current state of one’s life versus what they want it to be. This is the central theme of Constant...
[Verse 1]
To spend a moment at your beck and call
Oh, I would give my world to you
I live my life in simple repetition
But I would start again if it did you right
Oh, I spend my days my fists against this wall
But not a single sound seems to make it through
Count on my fingers all the grand admissions
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can't make it through a single time
All I wanna do is to do you right
I wish that I could climb to the greatest heights
All the world beneath me when I meet your eye
[Chorus]
I wish that I could fall a little bit harder
I wish that I could fall like it would even matter
I wish that I could fall right into your life
But I'm not there at all on the other side
I wish that I could fall and hit the ground running
I wish that I could fall instead of doing nothing
I wish that I could fall right between your eyes
But you just stand so tall, I'm left out of sight
I wish that I could fall somewhere that it won't hurt
[Synth Flute Solo]
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
[Verse 2]
Awake uneasy when the morning calls
Oh, I would give my world to you
I live my life in simple repetition
But I can barely call what I live a life
All I wanna do is to do you right
Hold up two fingers, check my double vision
Beside myself again, beaten black and blue
Without a purpose, I'm an apparition
[Pre-Chorus]
But I could be your sword, you could hold me tight
All I wanna do is to do you right
I wish that I could fly with these broken wings
If it was meant for you, I'd do anything
[Chorus]
I wish that I could fall a little bit harder
I wish that I could fall like it would even matter
I wish that I could fall right into your life
But I'm not there at all on the other side
I wish that I could fall and see the sky clearly
I wish that I could fall, not miss the ground completely
I wish that I could fall somewhere close to you
But I don't land at all, drifting out of view
I wish that I could fall but only truly backwards
Right into your arms
Your arms (Your arms)
[Bridge]
A fire lit within my chest
My heart's been burning, wholly dispossessed
(These barely-blinking eyes that refuse to cry)
Oh, what I wouldn't give to stay
To have my joy and sorrow cast away
[Pre-Chorus]
But even if my wings have been set alight
All that I can do is to learn to fly
All I wanna do is to do you right
[Synth Flute Solo]
[Chorus]
I wish that I could fall a little bit harder
I wish that I could fall like it would even matter
I wish that I could fall right into your life
But I'm not there at all on the other side
I wish that I could fall and hit the ground running
I wish that I could fall instead of doing nothing
I wish that I could fall right between your eyes
But you just stand so tall, I'm left out of sight
[Outro]
I wish that I could fall but only truly backwards
Right into your arms
Your arms
Your arms!
