The Fall Lyrics

Is this the way
Do you recall any of this?
Do you know where we're going?
Can you see what's ahead
Can you make out a path
Can we keep our footing?

And if you keep me awake
And you can show me the way
I might sometimes lead
But for now for the fall
Will you promise that
Someone will catch me

'Cause I'm falling in
Into the real life
Falling in
Into the real life

There was a time that I felt
I had a guide
But I'm needing a revelation
I've been spit out and spit on
But can't even keep together
My disjointed frustration
I'm still waiting

Up until now it was
A question of how and no deeper
It's the who and the why
And the reasons I just can't remember

'Cause I'm falling in
Into the real life
Falling in
Into the real life

And you don't know
And I don't know
Can you keep me awake
And show me the way?

Are you the one, do you believe if I crumble?
And put me in back together
Is this the time and place that we might begin
What might be forever, forever

Up until now it was
A question of how and no deeper
It's the who and the why
And the reasons I just can't remember
Can't you remember

Now I'm falling in
Into the real life
Falling in
Into the real life
You don't know and I don't know

I don't want your reality, no more
No, no more, no more
Is this the way, do you recall
Is this the climb before the fall
Falling in, falling in, falling, falling

Can you keep me awake
Show me the way
Keep me awake, show me the way
Catch me, I'm falling, falling

This is all we are, get ready for the fall
Is this the way, do you recall any of this?
Do you know where we're going?

The Nixons were founded in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma by singer/guitarist Zac Maloy, guitarist Jesse Davis, bassist Ricky Brooks, and drummer Tye Robison. The group released their debut EP Six in 1992 (after a obscure self-titled album, probably released in 1990) on Dragon Street Records and replaced the original drummer with John Humphrey before releasing Halo in 1994 on Rainmaker label. This album features several songs also included in Foma, their first official full length record, released out in 1995 on MCA Records. Foma spawned the radio hit "Sister" and the group capitalized on their success with a big tour (about 300 shows in one year), including dates with Soul Asylum. Two years later, the group replaced Ricky Brooks with Ricky Wolking and released a self-titled album, also known as "the red album" which featured songs like In Spite of Herself and Baton Rouge. Though The Nixons failed to match the success of Foma and the band left MCA, their consistent gigging ensured a strong cult audience for 1999's Scrapbook EP (featuring b-sides, live and acoustic performances), which saw the band return to Rainmaker, and their fourth album The Latest Thing, which was released by Koch in early 2000.
