Fall Down, Never Get Back Up Again - La Dispute

Fall Down, Never Get Back Up Again:

Out where the stones lay like bones by the ocean

Out where the waves crash contempt on the land

Someone was trembling for fear of the tempest

Somebody silently reached for their hand

Said, understand that if you're cold I'll keep you warm

And besides, there's so much beauty in a storm

So come down with me to the shore

And what's more, I adore you

So tell me, what is there to fear

You think some seraph up above is trying to rob us of our love

Because the sky's not clear

My dear, you know there's not

Now listen to the rain upon the rooftop

But the wind picked up

Out where the stones stand up like thrones beside the ocean

Out where the waves make a grave of the sea

The lovers struggled in the middle of the tempest

And water angrily crawled up onto the beach

Said, hold my hand and stay with me

We'll be released

But the tide clung like an anchor to her feet

And though he tried to make the water line recede

It pulled her out into the sea

He could not break apart the waves to bring her safely back in

He watched her hand break through the surface once

Then disappear again

Forever wait inside the sea for my, my dear

I hear you

You speak in every curling wave

And sing in every violent breeze

Someday not far away from here

My dear, I swear I'll see you

And we will hear the seraphs cry

For they will still envy you and I

How they envied you and I

How they envied you and I

How they envied you and I
