Name: Falling Out
Duration: P00H03M53S
Description: "A decisive step into the realm of folk music, “Falling Out” is arguably James’ most fully realized song to date. It is a testament to an almost helpless devotion to one’s craft, one’s muse, or whatever that thing is that just won’t let go. And that’s something we can all relate to whether that thing happens to be music or not."

lyrics

Maybe I don’t have much worth
Maybe I don’t work the game
Maybe I know that rattle at the door
Careful, it has a way

The time it takes is too long for me
I want something more
Maybe I hold too much weight
to carry what it takes

Falling Out

Maybe I’ve seen better days
But I’ve certainly seen worse
It's not what you claim or make
At the end of the course

Falling Out

I’m still hoping
I’m just that much bitter
Stuck your neck out
Lost your feathers
Forget about remorse
She's just a lover who was

I cant take the heat
Of your letters
I can’t figure out
If were good together
There may be other love
But your form is sweeter than the rest
