It's like jumpin
It's like leapin
It's like walkin on the ceilin
It's like floatin
It's like flyin through the air
It's like soarin 
It's like glidin 
It's a rocket ship you're ridin
It's a feelin that can take you anywhere

So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin 
Why they call it fallin 
I don't know

There was passion
There was laughter
The first mornin after 
I just couldn't get my feet to touch the ground
Every time we were together 
We talked about forever 
I was certain it was Heaven we had found 

So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin 
Why they call it fallin 
I don't know

But you can't live your life 
Walkin in the clouds 
Sooner or later 
You have to come down 

It's like a knife
Through the heart 
And it all comes apart 
It's like someone takes a pin to your balloon
It's a hole 
It's a cave 
It's kinda like a grave 
When he tells you that he's found somebody new 

So why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin 
Why they call it fallin 
Now I know

Ooh, why they call it fallin
Why they call it fallin 
Now I know
