1952 LYRICS

• THE FEAR OF FALLING APART
  STAYED HOME TO KEEP YOU CLOSER
  A DECADE DAD SPENT WATCHING OVER
  IN AND OUT OF SLEEP, LIKE THE ACHE IN ME GOT ME SCARED OF GETTING OLDER
  
  BUT MY LUCK GOT STOLEN LOST MY MOTHER TO THE DEVIL
  I’LL GET BY, BUT LOST A PART OF MY SOUL AND I WILL FIND A WAY TO RECOGNIZE
  
  AND IT FEELS LIKE I’M WANDERING OFF I’M WANDERING OFF
  
  OH THE FEAR OF FALLING APART FEAR OF FALLING APART
  
  OH MY FATHER
  TAKE ME HOME, CARRY ON NOW FIND THE WILL TO GO ON
  YOU’VE GOT A FRIEND IN YOUR SON BUT I’M CAUGHT IN THIS LINE OF FIRE
  WHERE’S THAT BOY WITH THE IDEALISTIC FUTURE?
  GUESS THE BOY’S GETTING OLD, HE’S AT A FORK IN THE ROAD
  
  AND IT FEELS LIKE I’M WANDERING OFF I’M WANDERING OFF
  
  OH THE FEAR OF FALLING APART FEAR OF FALLING APART
  
  FEAR OF FALLING APART
  OH THE FEAR OF FALLING APART

  SO SLOW IT, SLOW IT DOWN SLOW IT, SLOW IT DOWN
• HOW YOU FEELING NOW
  HOW YOU FEELING NOW?
  NOW THAT YOU WALKED AWAY, DANCED AROUND.
  
  GIRL LET YOUR HAIR DOWN
  COME SEE IF LOVE’S STILL FLOATING AROUND COME LAY YOUR HEAD DOWN
  COME EASY, DON’T START SHUFFLING AROUND
  
  CAUSE UNDER YOUR CLOTHES IS A PLACE I FEEL BLESSED IN I’M DOING MY BEST EVERY TIME NOT TO RUSH IT
  EVEN THE SCORE FOR YOU WALKING AWAY I’VE BEEN FOOLED BY LOVE
  
  HOW YOU FEELING NOW?
  NOW THAT YOU WALKED AWAY, DANCED AROUND
  
  I WON’T COME RUNNING NO MORE IT’S LIKE WE’VE ALREADY FADED YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANTED, NO? I WON’T GIVE IN TO YOUR GAMES

• CLOSER
  I’LL GET CLOSER
  TRY TO TELL YOU JUST HOW MUCH I’LL MISS YOU
  I’LL GO ON TO FIND OR MAKE UP A REASON FOR THE BAD IN OUR LIVES
  
  AND I DON’T KNOW WHY I CAN’T FIND PEACE, NEED AN OCEAN NO I DON’T KNOW WHY, I CAN’T FIND PEACE ANYMORE
  
  I’LL GET CLOSER
  I’LL GET CLOSE TO YOU
  
  HOLDING ON TO EACH AND EVERY HOUR
  TO MY MOTHER LIKE A CHILD, TO MY MOTIVE
  I’LL GIVE IT TIME, LET IT SINK IN, LEAN ON MY FRIENDS FOR THE LIGHT WILL COME AROUND IN THE END
  
  LYING AWAKE, SELF MEDICATED
  I PICTURE YOU SINGING TO THAT 60’S LOVE SONG YOU STILL AROUND ME
  STILL WATCHING OVER YOUR SON STILL FIGHTING YOUR WAR
  
  I’LL GET CLOSER
  I’LL GET CLOSE TO YOU

  WHEN YOUR NAME IS JUST A LINE IN A SONG
  
  SO IT MIGHT BE BEST FOR YOU
  IT MIGHT BE BEST TO KEEP YOUR DISTANCE NOW I’M ONLY TROUBLE, I CARE FOR MY OWN HEART CARED ENOUGH, NOW I’M BACK AT THE START
  
  DON’T GET CAUGHT UP IF I TREAT YOU WELL

  OH I DON’T MEAN TO HURT YOU I KNOW YOU’RE A SWEETHEART
  
  BUT IT MIGHT BE BEST FOR YOU
  IT MIGHT BE BEST TO KEEP YOUR DISTANCE NOW I’M ONLY TROUBLE, I CARE FOR MY OWN HEART CARED ENOUGH, NOW I’M BACK AT THE START

• BY THE WATER
  DID YOU FIND IT, WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR?
  STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMEN CRYING ON THE BATHROOM FLOOR YOU KEEP ME GUESSING BUT I KNOW IT ALL
  YOU WAKING UP A DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT
  
  WAS IT WORTH IT SELLING YOURSELF SHORT?
  YOU DIDN’T TAKE IN ANY LESSON FROM THE TIMES BEFORE? RELEASE THE TENSION, THEN PILLOW TALK
  WORKING UP A SWEAT LATE TILL THE EARLY MORNING MY BABY
  
  IT’S MY FAULT
  I’M ALL OVER THE PLACE
  CARELESS AND STONED OUT OF MY FACE I’M A LOW HANGING FRUIT
  I’M A WILD CARD
  I TAME IT DOWN JUST FOR YOU AND HIDE THE OTHER PART
  
  HELP ME I THINK I’M COMING DOWN BY THE WATER, BY THE WATER
  
  PRETTY EYES PRETTY FACE
  WHAT YOU RUNNING FROM?
  
  LITTLE LIES STEADY PACE
  WHAT’S THE OUTCOME?
