It was coffee for her- and tea for me
I'm an American man- she teaches chemistry
All of her life in Lancashire
It's just too many days- with too many tears

And we were falling in love- as we were falling down, down, down, down
Down through the clouds- from an all-time high
And it was all in her mind- as she was breaking down, down, down, down
Down through the air- before she hit the ground

All in one night- our friends were there
They came one in the same- the came from everywhere
All of my life- I think I'm wasting time in too many ways
It's just too many days...

And we were falling in love- as we were falling down, down, down, down
Down through the clouds- from an all-time high
And it was all in her mind- as she was breaking down, down, down, down
Down through the air- before she hit the ground

Oh and I think it's bringing me down, down, down, down, down
While my feet are touching the ground
And while their heads keep spinning around, round, round...

And we were falling in love- as we were falling down, down, down, down
Down through the clouds- from an all-time high
And it was all in her mind- as she was breaking down, down, down, down
Down through the air- before she hit the ground
