Lyrics
Fallback
Fallback, twist round
Pick it up or kick it down
I will be single again and it won't matter if you're in
Sitting by a train track
Looking here, looking back
A green-eyed girl came up to me
She said she was wondering
Why the train that never go
Are the ones we're wainting for
And why the ones that walk away
Are the ones we want to stay
Fallback, twist round
Pick it up or kick it down
I will be single again and it don't matter if you're in
She's sitting on the coach
Fiddling with her hair
Wrinkled shirt, changing channels
She don't care
He said, he said he's coming
But he never shows
She won't take no more of this
But you never know
Fallback, twist round
Pick it up or kick it down
I will be single again and it won't matter if you're in
Sitting by a bus stop
She looks at me when she gets off
Hey boy come over here
Some times I need you near
Fallback, twist round
Pick it up or kick it down
I will be single again and it won't matter if you're in
Fallback...
