If Romeo and Juliet had been just a little more wise
They'd be another gray-haired couple at the grocery store
He'd tell his jokes; she'd push the cart down the aisle and she'd roll her eyes
Cause she's heard his jokes a hundred times before
If you play it right, you learn the ache
Of a beautifully-made mistake
And you realize it's what we're all looking for

So fall, pray, trust
Stay a little longer
Nothing's stronger than being the first to call
Try to fall

I've got a live-in boyfriend, and he loves me like he once loved Captain Kirk
An attorney in my kitchen who might love me, just enough to make it work
But some nights when I'm home at eight
The universe will test my faith
Another life, another city
I'll ask myself if it would fit me
Then think

Fall, pray, trust
Stay a little longer
Nothing's stronger than being the first to call
Try to fall

He just might make me honest, and we start to talk about bringing another life
And still it seems ironic, from couldn't be tied down to maybe wife
I think about blue eyes, red hair
And all that's between here and there
I tell myself, I make a plan, to show her, make her understand

Fall, pray, trust, stay a little longer
Nothing's stronger than being the first to call
And it's a losing game having nothing to lose at all
So try to fall
