about

The dangers of falling in love.

lyrics

Sliding down the slippery slope
It’s a long way down, a long way down
I could use a hand or maybe some rope
It’s a long way down, a long way down

I fall in love too easily:
I get dizzy from the height, too blind to see
That when I land eventually
Well, it’s such a long way down

The slide begins with a single kiss
It’s a long way down, a long way down
And I know even before she touches my lips
It’s a long way down, a long way down

I could make friends with gravity
I could just let go, start fallin’ free
And maybe that’s just the entrance fee
But it’s such a long way down

And what am I so afraid of
I might fly I might soar
With the one I adore
And when they call it
“Falling in love”
Well, it’s just a metaphor, isn’t it?
Just a metaphor

I fall in love too easily:
I get dizzy from the height
Too blind to see
That when I crash eventually
It’s such a long way down

But I guess I’ll give it one more chance
It’s a long way down, a long way down
Stop being a wallflower and join in the dance
It’s a long way down, a long way down
Start moving forward and stop just making plans
Start giving back and stop making demands
Stop thinking of myself as a victim of circumstance
Start asking my heart and not just my pants

But it’s such a long way
Such a long way down
Oh it’s such a long way
Such a long way down

about

Blair Packham Toronto, Ontario

New album "The Impossible Dream" coming soon! Thirteen years after 2004’s “Could’ve Been King," Blair Packham returned with a collection of clever and heartfelt songs, called “Unpopular Pop.” A bit Beatle-y, with shades of Elvis Costello, Blair’s songs are undeniably all his. He made the record at home and then called on Ron Sexsmith and ex-Barenaked Ladies’ Steven Page to make vocal appearances. ... more
