The studio version was recorded after Twenty One Pilots and before Regional at Best.

Lyrics

Album version

[Verse 1] I don't fall slow like I used to, I fall straight down You've stolen my air catcher that kept me safe and sound My parachutes would guide me safely to ground But now my chord's not workin' and I see you staring me down [Chorus] I won't fall in love with fallin' I will try to avoid those eyes, oh [Verse 2] I think you would beat the moon in a pretty contest And the moon just happened to be the very first thing that I missed I was doing fine on my own and there wasn't much I lacked But you've stolen my air catcher and I don't know if I want it back [Chorus] I won't fall in love with fallin' I will try to avoid those eyes 'Cause I'm not sure I want to give you Tools that can destroy my heart [Bridge] And I just don't say what you wanna hear So I'll write my fears And I don't believe in talkin' just to breathe In fallin' selfishly [Outro] I won't fall in love with fallin' I will try to avoid those eyes But now I'm here to give you words as Tools that can destroy my heart
