I wonder where it all began 
Was it in a place or in the heart 
Was it outside in the pouring rain 
In the darkness where the dreaming starts 

If I end up begging like a dog 
Does it make me any less than you 
Should I stand here and be judged 
When we already know the truth 

There was a time when I was lost 
Couldn't see the woods for the trees 
How could I know how much it costs 
'Til I was on my knees 

Fear of falling 
fear of falling 
fear of falling 
Down in love again 

Why don't we take it from the bottom 
See what rises to the top 
Sometimes you have to cut the cards 
Just to find out what you got 

She has a certain kind of thing 
It's called the mystery of desire 
Keeps pulling on my heartstring 
I'm like a man on a wire 

What does it mean to want so much 
The way that I'm wanting you 
Am I just setting myself up 
To play the fool 

Fear of falling 
fear of falling 
fear of falling 
Down in love again
