Fall to your knees again
If the connection comes apart in your hands
Just echoes and dreams now
Let them come down on you

A flicker of memory comes drifting by
Tensing up all your limbs
And you shiver inside at the thought of it
Feel it crawl along your skin
It sickens the stomach to dwell on it
As it plays on repeat
Spinning round you like an unfinished melody
Binding you in its strings

So fall to your knees again
As the connection comes apart in your hands
Echoes and dreams sing
And you let them come down, come down on you

Little twitches that colour your gestures
Break the rhythms of your speech
Undermining the sense that you wish you made
And the secrets you keep
Tell me when everything began to fall apart
Tell me all of your fears
And I’ll show you the path that you’ve walked along
And all the lies you’ve believed

It’s a deceptively simple dance
It’s an overpriced cheap trick
Calling your name till you don’t know any better
You’d check your plans, I think it’s earthquake weather

And you’ll fall to your knees again
As the connection comes apart in your hands
Tired echoes of dreams cry out
And you’ll let them come down, come down on you

Just another way to look at all of this
Just a thought that won’t leave
Let it build in its strength as you nurture it
Let it grow in belief
And your habits will form into patterns
Like a virus taking hold
Until the words build themselves into a new story
Maybe it’s time that it gets told

I’ll fall to my knees again
If the connection comes apart in our hands
And your echoes and dreams, my love
I’ll carry them on, carry them with mine
