Falling Slowly

Heard it for the first time on American Idol, when Kris Allen sang it..

At first I didn't catch the title of the song and movie name, I had to watch the rerun three times to finally realise he said "falling slowly" and the movie "Once" -_-"" Why do Americans have such funny accents?? :p

Anyways, I guess different people have different perceptions about this song. Some might say it's too slow, too abstract, etc..but I think it's a beautiful song :)


~~~
I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

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

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along
