Falling is like this

I have to post to whole song...
you give me that look that's like laughing
with liquid in your mouth
like you're choosing between choking
and spitting it all out
like you're trying to fight gravity
on a planet that insists
that love is like falling
and falling is like this

feels like reckless driving when we're talking
it's fun while it lasts, and it's faster than walking
but no one's going to sympathize when we crash
they'll say "you hit what you head for, you get what you ask"
and we'll say we didn't know, we didn't even try
one minute there was road beneath us, the next just sky

i'm sorry i can't help you, i cannot keep you safe
i'm sorry i can't help myself, so don't look at me that way
we can't fight gravity on a planet that insists
that love is like falling
and falling is like this.
Also, Happy Spring!

Happy Spring! Sounds like you're catching spring fever too. :-)

That first line reminds me of a Christopher Guest movie, A Mighty Wind, except the scene I'm thinking about was only in the trailer and not the actual movie which made me mad. False advertisement!

I always thought falling was more like, "ArrrrrgggggQQQ!!!! Crap!!!"
