Waterfall Lyrics by Mark Barlow

Hymns & Soul

2021

[Intro]
And a one, two, skiddle-dee-doo

[Verse 1]
Tryna keep the lights on, baby
Even though the power's out, hey
You know that you and I've been switchin' places
And I took my turn at falling, falling, falling
Falling by the wayside
You made me realize the situations
What's been going on

[Pre-Chorus]
You know that I'll always hold you when you cry
You'll forever be glorious in my eyes
And even though I may not be your guy
You know that I'll still want you in my life

[Chorus]
Love on red alert
I hope we can make it
Don't want this to hurt
But I don't wanna fake it
Baby, please believe
That I've tried everything
Listеn to me loving you
Is like swimming up a waterfall

[Verse 2]
And hеre's a current complication
We may have left, but we certainly haven't arrived
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
The pins are still up and the bumpers down
We can't win no games
When your heart is nowhere to be found

[Pre-Chorus]
You know that I'll always hold you when you cry
You'll forever be glorious in my eyes
And even though I may not be your guy
You know that I still want you in my life

[Chorus]
Love on red alert
I hope we can make it
Don't want this to hurt
But I don't wanna fake it
Baby, please believe
That I've tried everything
Listen to me loving you
Is like swimming up a waterfall

[Interlude]
Yeah, give it to me, come on
Yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
I've been waiting around for you to love me
But I can't do it anymore, anymore
I've been leading myself on for quite some time
But I can't do it anymore, anymore
This [wanting/one] thing at first was a good idea
But I can't see it anymore, anymore
Yeah, we click right in my mind, but not your heart
And I don't feel it anymore, anymore

[Pre-Chorus]
You know that I'll always hold you when you cry
You'll forever be glorious in my eyes
And even though I may not be your guy
You know that I still want you in my life

[Chorus]
Love on red alert
I hope we can make it
Don't want this to hurt
But I don't wanna fake it
Baby, please believe
That I've tried everything
Listen to me loving you
Is like swimming up a water–
Love on red alert
I hope we can make it
Don't want this to hurt
But I don't wanna fake it
Baby, please believe
That I've tried everything
Listen to me loving you
Is like swimming up a waterfall

[Outro]
Yeah
That is a jam
I'm so scared of listening back to that play
Haha me too
