I stood at the cliff side,
Staring into the darkening eventide.
Thunder roared, lightning fell,
Staring at the brink till kingdom come.
One more step and I'll be undone,
Drenched in shame, swamped in strife,
I tried to hide my scars.
Yet you came and held my hand,
Next thing I knew,
Darling, I was falling for you.

Veni, Vidi, Amavi
I was falling, falling, falling,
Oh, oh, oh, free falling for you.

Tides ebb and flow,
Sands of time slip through,
First love, first kisses,
First feelings never fade.
Laughing in the summer rain,
Basking in the warm golden haze,
Sweet loving by the fireplace,
Moments woven in harmony,
Our song, a perfect symphony
Darling, I was falling for you.

Veni, Vidi, Amavi,
I was falling, falling, falling,
Oh, oh, oh, free falling for you.

But summer came to an end,
Now, the gold glows a little paler,
Young hearts beat a little slower,
As time flies and polaroids fade,
Heartsick, we part ways like strangers,
Wishing we lasted a little longer,
We fought but we made,
Hoping if we could linger forever,
In the moment we first knew,
Darling, I was falling for you.

Veni, Vidi, Amavi,
I was falling, falling, falling,
Oh, oh, oh, free falling for you.

With you, I was stronger,
With you, I was happier,
Drunk in love, high on hope,
You held my hand, helped me stand,
No matter how hard I tried,
No matter what I said,
No matter what I did,
I couldn't hate you, couldn't pretend,
I'd be lying if I said I forgot the night,
Darling, I was falling for you.

Veni, Vidi, Amavi
I was falling, falling, falling,
Oh, oh, oh, free falling for you.

White was the winter night,
When I saw you again.
Music and fairy-lights down the street,
Your eyes shone like the stars above,
Hair speckled with the first snow,
Unbothered amidst the busy festive Eve,
I crossed your path one last time,
Never stopped, never looked back,
After we kissed goodbye to the first time,
Darling, I was falling for you.

Veni, Vidi, Amavi,
I was falling, falling, falling,
Oh, oh, oh, free falling for you
Veni, Vidi, Amavi,
I was falling, falling, falling,
Forever falling for you.

a/n: this song has such a soft place in my heart because this is the crux—when it all began. the first stanza is all i intended to write for the book. yet, the more i wrote, the more i felt compelled to go on. a stanza grew into a song, a song into an album. now over 1000 words later, i'm still not done.
