Fall SHort Lyrics by Fergus James

A Slow Separation

2021

What If I fall short of what I’m meant to be?
What if the world this time’s catching up with me?
I tore my portrait down off the mantlepiece
Oh when I saw what I lost right in front of me

Just woke up and five years
Had disappeared out of reach
It’s a blurry mess and I’m the
Passenger in my front seat

When there’s someone that you could of been
But you let go of the wheel again
And I looked in the rear view now I’m struggling
With some strangers eyes on me

What If I fall short of what I’m meant to be?
What if the world this timе’s catching up on me?
I tore my portrait down off the mantlеpiece
Oh when I saw what I lost right in front of me
So what if I fall short?
If I fall short?
So if I fall short of what I’m meant to be
Don’t replace the space I leave

Spent all your money, wrecked a head start
What your dad sees in you, you only see half
But your mother still loves you with the same heart
Wearing rose coloured glasses

There’s someone that I could’ve of been
But I’m asleep at the wheel again
And I know I made a promise
But if I’m being honest

I’ll fall short of what I’m meant to be
What if the world this time’s catching up on me?
I tore my portrait down off the mantlepiece
Oh when I saw what I lost right in front of me
So what if I fall short?
If I fall short?
So if I fall short of what I’m meant to be
Don’t replace the space I leave

[I know what I had, we know what we had
I know that’s it’s gone]
I keep falling, I keep falling short
Cause there’s someone that I could of been
But I’ve gone and messed it up again
Yeah I know what I had, and why you’re gone

Cause I fell short of what I’m meant to be
I guess the world this time it caught up with me
I put my portrait back on the mantlepiece
Time to face that man staring back at me

What If I fall short of what I’m meant to be?
What if the world this time’s catching up on me?
I tore my portrait down off the mantlepiece
Oh when I saw what I lost right in front of me
So what if I fall short?
If I fall short?
So if I fall short of what I’m meant to be
If I fall short
