avalanche

My friend just called me up
He told me that he would never wait around for any girl
'Cause if she's not sure
Then she's not worth the trouble
Meanwhile, I'm still sitting here
Thinking about you just for the sake of it
Tumbling down the slope
Without a clue as to how to stop myself from

Falling
There's no way to go but down
I know you don't feel the same
But this avalanche is headed for the town
All the things I feel keep bubbling to the surface
God, I've heard this all before
But again and again, I watch the avalanche fall
Again and again, I watch the avalanche fall

I'm always trying my best not to hang on to your every word
Oh God, it's absurd how obsessed I get
When you laugh at just the right moments
I can hear my friends in my head rolling their eyes saying
There goes Alvin again
Can't he ever tell his heels from his head
Can't he ever stop himself from

Falling
There's no way to go but down
I know you don't feel the same
But this avalanche is headed for the town
All the things I feel keep bubbling to the surface
God, I've heard this all before
But again and again, I watch the avalanche fall
Again and again, I watch the avalanche fall

Again and again, I stand by and watch the snow break down around me
The familiar way it wraps me up and burns until I'm numb
I try to slow it down
But this force of nature barrels me over every time
Still you stay on my mind

Falling
There's no way to go but down
I know you don't feel the same
But this avalanche is headed for the town
All the things I feel keep bubbling to the surface
God, I've heard this all before
But again and again, I watch the avalanche fall
Again and again, I watch the avalanche fall
I watch the avalanche fall
