The Fall

Norah Jones The Fall Lyrics
1.Chasing Pirates

In your message you said,
You were goin' to bed,
But I'm not done with the night.

So I stayed up and read,
But your words in my head,
Got me mixed up
so I turned out the light.

And I, don't know how,
to slow it down.
My mind's
racing from chasing pirates.

Well the man in there swings
while the silliest things
Floppin around in my brain.

And I try not to dream
but them possible schemes
Swim around,
wanna drown me in synch.
And I, don't know how,
to slow it down.
Oh my mind's
racing from chasing pirates.

And I, don't know how,
to slow it down.
Oh my mind's
racing from chasing pirates.

My mind's racin' from chasing pirates.
My mind's racin' from chasing pirates.


2.Even Though

Something by the way he touched me,
Was so slow,
The way he'd put his arms around me,
Even though,
I'm feeling lonely
I'm feeling lonely

Don't understand the words he said,
Made me do wrong,
But now there is nothing else in my head,
And now it's stronger wish he'd drift me,
Alone, I wish he leave me,
Cuz'I know trouble will follow,
When I have to go,
I have to go,


Cause I know trouble will follow,
When I have to go,
I have to go,

He makes me think that I don't know me,
So unsure,
When I remember all the things
He showed me,
And I want more, I'm feeling lonely,
Oh oh oh I'm feeling lonely.


3.Light As A Feather

While love seasons will undo so

Time forgives us and it takes control

Separate our face to put us back together

Very light as a feather
Heavy as the weather
If it was rainstorms

But I hands together to plough obey
Like a show was over
We just gave the walkaway

Or for the better
Worst for the way

Very light as a feather
Got you and I together

Meanwhile inside of me
It was rainstorms hm
You didn't know hm
God bless your soul


Very light as a feather

Heavy as the weather

Very light as a feather

Got You and I together
Hmm


4.Young Blood

I'll pretend my heart's not on fire
If you steal my true love's name
Broke down subway in this city of spires
Tape your picture over his in the frame

We'll imagine we're sleeping revolvers
Shotgun wedding in a strange SoHo
Our chambers hold silvery collars
Gun down werewolves wherever we go
We gun down werewolves wherever we go

Midnight phone calls in the back of a Mustang
Creased white pages torn right from the spine
Kissed my neck with a crooked, cracked fang
You always hoped one day you'd be mine

Threw our fathers on funeral pyres
I'm not sure that we were playing a game
Busted gasket in a field full of liars
No one noticed we set five boroughs aflame
No one noticed we set five boroughs aflame

Young blood
Young bone
Old ghosts
Go home

Band of gold with a diamond implied
I made promises I'll always deny
Now we'll never know what the other meant
Watch is ticking like a heartbeat gone berserk
Lost the chance to wind the key
Roosters are nothing but clucking clockwork
Our fears are only what we tell them to be
Our fears are only what we tell them to be

Drown the last of our matches
Burn the rest of each other
You were strongest when I ached for breath
Through the thick of smoke we'll finally smother

Young blood
Young bone
Old ghosts
Go home
Young blood
Young bone
Old ghosts
Go home
Young blood
Young bone
Old ghosts
Go home
Young bone
Old ghosts
Go home

Go home
Young blood
Young bone


5.I Wouldn't Need You

If I touched myself
The way you touched me

If I could hould myslef
The way you held me

Then I wouldn't need you
No I wouldn't you
No wouldn't you to love me

If I could replaced
The things you gave me
If I could seem my fate
Without tragedy

Then I wouldn't need you
Oh I wouldn't need you
No wouldn't need you
To love me

But I couldn't do
So come back come back


If you could see the way
I at when I am alone

If you could hear my voice
Cry over the phone

Then you know I need you
Oh you know I need you
Oh you know I need you
To love me


6.Waiting

Hush now watch the stars fall
Into a fire wall
I am waiting here
Waiting for you to come home

Sinking embers glow
Melting icy snow
I am waiting here,
Waiting for you to come home

And I watch them burn
When will I ever learn
If I wait it doesn't mean
You will return


And I watch them burn
When will I ever learn

If I wait it doesn't mean
You will return

Now all the stars have gone
Faded into cracks of dawn
And I'm still waiting here
Waiting for you to come home

I'm waiting here
Waiting for you to come home


7.It's Gonna Be

If all we talk about is money,
nothing will be funny, honey

And now that everyone's a critic,
it's makin' my mascara runny
If we only talk about the heavens,
makin' it together is crazy
If we don't get a new situation
for our destination we're lazy

But it's gonna be, it's gonna be
Please make it be, it's gonna be

Now if a princess becomes human,
stoner on the talk show you're ruined

Cause there's a fine line between a skewer
and a decent sense of humor

Aim at the one's who really hurt us,
they should be arrested for murder
And if all the cameras were turned on since
skinny naked blondie in burgers

It's gonna be, it's gonna be
It's gonna be, it's gonna be


It's gonna be, it's gonna be
Please make it be, make it be
It's gonna be, it's gonna be
It's gonna be,


8.You've Ruined Me

You've ruined me now
but I liked it
But I'm ruined,
do you have a plan
cuz I'm in your hands

You ruined me now,
Though I liked it
Now I'm ruined, I had no choice
when I heard your voice
I know you said can't be mislead
Now I'm the one who's face is red.

You ruined me now,
though I liked it
Now I'm ruined,
Your chocolate eyes
like buttons in piles.

You ruined me now,
though I liked it
Now I'm ruined,
I'm trying to part with
what's in my heart.
You ruined me
how I thought I liked it
But I'm ruined my whole world is left
turned upside down.
I heard me say I'm going away,
But now I write you everyday.
You heard me say I'm going away,
I'm on the floor outside your door
You ruined me now

You ruined me now

You ruined me now,
but I liked it
But I'm ruined,
do you have a plan
cuz I'm in your hands.


9.Back To Manhattan

I'll go back to Manhattan,
As if nothing ever happened.

When I cross that bridge,
It's be as if this don't exist.

Have a prince who is waiting,
And a kingdom downtown.

I'll go back to Manhattan,
As if nothing ever happened

Don't have to speak at all.

One look in your eyes,
And I won't have to fall,
Don't have to speak at all.

Brooklyn holds you

And holds my heart too.
What a fool I was to think
I could live in both worlds.


Don't have to speak at all.
One look in your eyes,
And I won't have to fall,
Don't have to speak at all.

I should go back to Manhattan,

It's just a train ride away.
I know nothing about leaving,
But I know I should do it today.


10.Stuck

hey shall we wade
through the room for the street
and finally to me
he asked me what I'm drinking

my friend johnny tugging on my sleeve
asked if I wanna leave
and what I'm really thinking is

why can't it be easy, easy
why don't you leave me,
leave me, leave me be

I can't see you swaying
I can't hear what you're saying

I'm sitting here stuck
and plastered to my seat
I think of a reason to leave
when you finally start speaking

I'll take a a long stroll
walked down washington street
half asleep on my feet
half aware if I'm dreaming

I'll go home alone
a sinking stone
a switched-off telephone
I'll go on briefly
a frozen breeze
a fallen down factory

I still see you swaying
but I can't hear what you're saying


I just lost the plot
got a little cop
been a little knocked
I just hit a wall
had a little fall
I felt a swinging wrecking ball
and why should that be
why don't you tell me
why don't you tell me

I'm sure you'll tell me
why don't you tell me
I guess you'd tell me
tell me


11.December

December come in
I hope I can singing
You not just in dreams
I will let you be
Why can't you believe
I want you reading me

December won't come
Back with snowy and sun
Don't say that is done
I will carry home
Take you from lonelyness
Playing still you have known


I will carry home
Take me from the lonelyness
Playing still I have known


12.Tell Yer Mama

I won't cry for you
When the night grows long

And I won't die for you
Because you done me wrong

So tell your mama
I said hello

And that she raised you
Too damn slow

You're too damn slow
Too damn slow


Because I've been waiting
For your time

And I've been missing
Out on mine

So tell your father
That I said so long

And thanks for raising you
So damn wrong

You are so damn wrong
You're so damn wrong,
So damn wrong.


13.Man Of The Hour

'It's him or me'
That's what he said
But I can't choose between a vegan
And a pot head

So I chose you
Because you're sweet
And you give me lots of lovin'
And you eat meat
And that's how you became
My only man of the hour

You never lie
And you don't cheat
And you don't have any baggage tied
To your four feet
Do I deserve
To be the one
Who will feed you breakfast,
lunch, and dinner
And take you to the park at dawn
Will you really be
My only man of the hour

I know you'll never bring me flowers
But flowers, they will only die
And though
we'll never take a shower together
I know you'll never make me cry

You never argue
You don't even talk
And I like the way you let me lead you
When we go outside and walk
Will you really be
My only man of the hour

My only man of the hour
My only man of the hour
