Falling Backwards

Like water wears away a stone,
 time gently erodes memories
 And when love's been replaced
 by a bitter aftertaste
 It's hard to recall
 just what started it all
 But
 I remembered what I thought I'd forgotten
 when I saw you again today
 I resisted and I can be stubborn
 but my resistance just crumbled away
 and now I'm falling backwards
 into your arms again
 Days turned to years and went by
 and my tears eventually dried
 but the salt that remained
 made me thirsty again
 Well, nobody's all bad
 and I couldn't stay mad
 When I remembered what I thought I'd forgotten
 when I saw you again today
 I resisted and I can be stubborn
 but my resistance just crumbled away
 and now I'm falling backwards
 into your arms again
 Oh, sweetness, it's madness
 to start this all again
 But when we kiss
 I'll gladly let them come and certify me insane, oh
 I remembered that heatwave summer
 We were practically kids
 You persisted and I surrendered
 and we were glad when I finally did
 And now I'm falling backwards
 into your arms again
 Falling backwards,
 falling backwards,
 falling backwards,
 into your arms again
