29 people who jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge said they "instantly" regretted their decision. This song is about those liminal spaces of regret.

lyrics

I cannot shake this paranoia
That everything is gonna crash and burn
If we end up leaving lonely
In the hopes of only never to return
A worthy lesson learned

A serenade of sorrow
In a haunted melody that we all know
So prophetic how this ends
We’ve tied our ropes and now it’s time to just let go

Ushering the autumn and the end of everything that’s meant to be
In the time it takes to fall apart I hope that you would forgive me
I’ll hold my breath to see
I am falling into you

Rest assured that all I have to give is all my inconsistency
In this thinly veiled moment
I hope somebody is waiting there for me
Behold the unlovely

Ushering the autumn and the end of everything that’s meant to be
In the time it takes to fall apart I hope that you would forgive me
Listen to the sound of every mercy giving way to entropy
I gave the best of me

I am falling into you
