Freefall

This song really just seemed to flow out of me. I sat down to write with no idea in my head and a blank piece of paper and perhaps a line from Jack's Mannequin's "Hammers and Strings (A lullaby)". So I started to write, and I came out wth one of the purest sort of really rockin' songs I've written in a while. It's also really positive. I can't wait to work on this.

This shadows been following me
All around town. Nothing's wrong.
But there's this feeling I've been having:
We just might fall.

We just might fall but
We're alive and we're well.
We're still fighting.
We just might fall into the unknown until we realise
We've survived.
We're still here.

This won't last forever
I'm thinking, though I want it to last.
All I know for sure is that
We might fall.

We just might fall but
We're alive and we're well.
We're still fighting.
We just might fall into the unknown until we realise
We've survived.
We're still here.

This stranger's been
Grabbing at my back, and my stranger's me.
I'm not sure where I'm going,
So we might fall.

So we might fall but
We're alive and we're well.
We're still fighting.
We might fall into the unknown until we realise
We've survived.
We're still here.

The future's unsure, yeah,
We know it and we're looking for what's hidden.
But when you fall you get back up again.
Just try one more time.

We just might fall but
We're alive and we're well.
We're still fighting.
We just might fall into the unknown until we realise
We've survived.
We're still here.
