Devon Halliday - Falling Behind

I must have walked you home a thousand times in my mind
And I loved you for falling behind, yes I loved you for falling behind
We talked of dizzy things; I wasn't like how I thought I'd be
You fell into step with a version of me that until that day I'd never seen
And then you asked me if I'd call you: of course
You're stored in my phone forever

I bought you groceries, I watered your fiddle leaf
I loved you with the gaze of a thief on a diamond he's got no hope to keep
I counted every sign: he loves me not, he loves me fine
I'm no soothsayer babe, I got no sooth to say

But I'm right on time to ask you once again if you're mine
If so, forget I asked a thing
If not, then please explain to me how

I've got your number on the emergency line
I've got your picture on the fridge of my mind
You know I walk slow and I was falling behind
Till you pulled up at my side

There were nights back then, I couldn't sleep, I was scared to dream
Up unstitching my seams, flood you with the truth of me
But baby you don't drown, you're stronger than anything
And when I got up I could feel your stitches still inside of me
So when you tell me I can call you, I do
Midnight, any time, whenever

I've got your number on the emergency line
I've got your picture on the fridge of my mind
You know I walk slow and I was falling behind
Till you pulled up at my side

I've got your number on the emergency line
I've got your picture on the fridge of my mind
You know I walk slow and I was falling behind
Till you pulled up at my side
Up at my side
Up at my side
