falling

Clay Aiken

Silence
Long lost friend
You've come to me again
Night comes closing in
And the loneliness within

I'm older
Should be wiser
Still I never seem to learn
I'm closer than ever
To the edge

[Chorus]
And I'm falling
I'm falling
From the world I used to know
Been trying to hold on
To something for so long
Now this never-ending dream won't let go
I am falling...

Restless
I lie awake
And try to escape
Memories that never sleep
A taste of bitter sweet

I'll hold on to forever
Still I'm stuck in yesterday
I'm closer than ever
To the edge

[Chorus]
And I'm falling
I'm falling
From the world I used to know
Been trying to hold on
To something for so long
Now this never-ending dream won't let go
I am falling...

Come back and wake me up again
I can't face this world alone
Cause in my dream
I return and then
I'm falling, I'm falling
