"Falling Slowly" lyrics - THE SWELL SEASON

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

[Pre-Chorus:]
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

[Chorus:]
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

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus 2:]
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along
