lyrics:

f you fall, fall for me,
i will catch you, you will see
you’ll be home, easily
so if you fall, fall for me

dreamed bout you, we were small
best of friends, i recall
only girl, after all
of my dreams, then and now

so if you fall, fall for me
i will catch you, set you free
give you all, wait and see
so if you fall, fall for me
