Ani Defranco- Falling is like this
......
You give me that look that's like laughing …
Like you're trying to fight gravity
On a planet that insists that love is like falling and falling is like this…
Feels like reckless driving when we're talking
It's fun while it lasts, and it's faster than walking
But no one's going to sympathize when we crash
They'll say "you hit what you head for, you get what you ask"
And we'll say we didn't know, we didn't even try
One minute there was road beneath us, the next just sky
I'm sorry I can't help you, I cannot keep you safe
I'm sorry I can't help myself, so don't look at me that way
We can't fight gravity on a planet that insists…
That love is like falling and falling is like this…
