You fell down the stairs into my arms

And swiftly ran the other way

And I heard the steady swell of applause

For two drunk kids trying to figure out which way was home

They got lost as they were taking off each other's clothes

They realized there was a hole in the boat

And with no lifesaver you try your best to float

But eventually the sky did return and I was there outside in green

I watched the world being reborn until one a.m.

So I thought I'd let you know it was beautiful slow dancing

To tunes of Billie Holiday

The city looked wonderful that way

And love just like blood will always stain

And if I could reverse it I don't think it would be worth it

I know in my heart I would never let you tumble to the ground

No, I'll never let you go

I will never let you tumble to the ground

I'll never let you go

I will never let you tumble to the ground

I'll never let you go
