Dashboard Confessional
Southbound and Sinking
[Verse 1]
Southbound and sinking down on 95
I was looking for a way to keep my hopes alive
I needed something big to keep me on your mind
So I painted our names up on the exit sign
No expectations are too big to disappoint
I give you everything I got until I got no voice
I don't need another friend, I got enough in this joint
No denying I'm trying, that's my whole damn point
[Chorus]
Look, I fell for you, I mean, of course
You're like this magnetic force
And I'm just one of dozens more
With this ridiculous notion
With this ridiculous notion
That you're gonna fall for me
Fall for me
Fall for me
Fall for me
[Verse 2]
They say you never get nowhere if you nеver just start
Put my pen down to paper and I torе myself apart
Took a real good beatin' but I worked it hard
Who says you never get nowhere on a broken heart?
Look at me letting all my feelings show
Look, I'll tell you anything you wanna know
Are you winding me up just to let me go?
Or are you letting things happen very, very, very slow?
[Chorus]
Look, I fell for you, I mean, of course
You're like this magnetic force
And I'm just one of dozens more
With this ridiculous notion
With this ridiculous notion
That you're gonna fall for me
Fall for me
Fall for me
Fall for me
[Bridge]
I'm not great at waiting but l'II do what I must
And I'm trying to be patient but it's getting pretty rough
I don't think that there's a man for you that's special enough
But I'lI be the one standing in the settling dust
No reservations, nothing holding me back
Betting everything I've got but my cards aren't stacked
No more playing it cool, let's get down to brass tacks
I wanna give you everything I'm ever gonna have
[Chorus]
Look, I fell for you, mean, of course
You're like this magnetic force
And I'm just one of dozens more
With this ridiculous notion
With this ridiculous notion
That you're gonna fall for me
Fall for me
Fall for me
Fall for me
Fall for me
Fall for me
