Proud To Fall

Echo And The Bunnymen · Singles (Songs Without Albums) [2012]

Here you come again

Acting like a saviour

There you go again

Talking like a stranger

You said we must all learn to face

What we're becoming

And then I saw you in the distance

Off and running

But from start to finish

I was proud to fall

And I fell deep within it

I got lost inside it all

Inside it all

Inside it all

Looks like rain again

Feels like it's rained forever

Can't remember when

Don't remember whether

I ever really told you who I was

It must have been because because because

From start to finish

I was proud to fall

And I fell so deep within it

I got lost inside it all

Inside it all

Inside it all

I fell between the bruises

And the red curtain call

I prayed you'd light the fuses

And we'd burn and torch it all

Long days jouney into

Long nights journey out

Knee deep so deep within you

I kept and keep without

You said we must all learn to face

What we're becoming

And then I saw you in the mirror

Off and running

But from start to finish

I was proud to fall

And I fell so deep within it

I got lost inside it all

From start to finish

I was proud to fall

And I fell so deep within it

I got lost inside it all

I got lost inside it all

Inside it all

Inside it all

Inside it all
