Based on a Radiolab podcast about falling(http://www.radiolab.org/2010/sep/20/). This song recounts the story of a relationship between a woman and a man with face blindness.
lyrics
Particles collide every time like it was new
I saw the book held in your hand but didn't know that it was you
Connected with the eyes
It just kept getting better
I was falling
There's a little piece of me that's missing though
If I passed you in the street I'd let you go
The experience of you
Was stronger than the mem'ry
I was falling
What does it mean to know someone?
Should I feel haunted your face is gone?
If I saw you in a crowd would I even know your worth?
Impermanence entices and it hurts
But the idea of commitment's even worse
Like a child that fears a loss
That cries out in the dark
Afraid of falling
