[Verse 1]
In the backroom, talking love and perfect sound
Gemma's asking if we'll do just one more round
Well, baby, I'm already drunk, I'll never turn you down
[Chorus]
Falling out, take it as it comes, push it down
If I'm not the only one that you ever needed
Then we won't repeat it, it's just spinning out
Baby, if we don't believe it
[Verse 2]
Slip away and take my hand outside the park
We were never good at hiding in the dark

Falling out, takе it as it comes, push it down

Falling out, take it as it comes, push it down

Then we won't repeat it, it's just spinning out
Baby, if we don't believe it

And I'm working you out from the look on your face
Yeah, there's taxis and parties, but I'm good to wait
And you're holding my shirt, passed the pond and the store
And I'm turning the key and you're pushing the door
[Chorus]
Falling out, take it as it comes, push it down
If I'm not the only one that you ever needed
Then we won't repeat it, it's just spinning out
Baby, if we don't believe it
