I swear I wouldn't have left you alone
If I'd sensed that it would have helped this at all
Back then, how could I know I should have known?

If it seems important
You should rest assure it is
If it seems important
Of course it is

It's bad enough
To have to watch you to see
I'm backing up
Where we both want you to be
Falling forward
Falling forward, to me

I guess it's nobody's fault but my own
I can't tell if all of my senses are wrong
I'll taste the sugar in your serving salt

If it seems important
You should rest assure it is
If it seems important
Of course it is

It's bad enough
To have to watch you to see
I'm backing up
Where we both want you to be
Falling forward
Falling forward, to me
