A.W. - The Fall lyrics

We used to make such a great team
But, I was looking for love
And we were eighteen
I didn’t know what I wanted, but I wanted you
We spent that summer in daydreams
I know that some days they
Weren’t what they seemed
But, I still believed in the things
That we did in your room

When you’re young, it’s so easy
‘Til reality calls
It’s a new kind of letdown
It’s the rise and the fall
You used to make such a big deal
Said I was taking my chances on the unreal
But, I had nothing to say
And I had nothing to lose
We spent that night on your back porch
Kickin’ the dirt at our feet
We said our last words
I didn’t know what you wanted
But I wanted you

Every love is the first time
‘Til the crack in the wall
It’s a new kind of letdown
It’s the rise and the fall

We used to make such a great team
But, I was looking for love
And we were eighteen
You didn’t know what you wanted
And I wanted you

When you’re young, it’s so easy
‘Til the crack in the wall
It’s a new kind of letdown
It’s the rise and the fall
