Falling Slowly (Reprise) Lyrics — Once

[GUY]
I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that

[GUY & GIRL]
And words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react

[GUY]
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

[GUY & GIRL]
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
You've made it now

[GUY, GIRL & COMPANY]
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
Well, you have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you've won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly, sing your melody
I'll sing it loud

[GUY]
Take it all
Oh, I played the cards too late
Now it's gone
