On “Falling Back,” Drake talks about a relationship where he continues to give his all, but the feelings are not reciprocated equally. He has become the fall-back rather than a focal point.
This was the first track played when Drake premiered his seventh studio album on his TABLE FOR ONE radio show on SOUND 42 SiriusXM just ahead of the album’s release.
Lyrics of Falling Back
Oh, yeah
Ayy, yuh
Ayy, ayy
Oh
Finding myself, showing myself
Finding a way to stay outta the way
Holding me back, supposed to come right back
Guardin' myself while I'm all on display
I know you know all about it
I know, deep down, you feel the same
I know you know how I feel
I know you know how I feel
How do I
How do I feel? How do I feel?
How do you say to my face, "Time heals"?
Then go and leave me again, unreal
I see us fadin' away, I'm still
Holdin' my breath for the day that you will
See that the effort I make is too real
How can you say that you know how I feel?
Ayy, wee
How can you say you know what I'm feeling? Wait
Know what I'm feeling, wait, you don't feel nothing, wait
Nothing is healing, wait, time is just killing, wait
How can you say, wait, you know what I'm feeling, wait
You know what I'm feeling, wait, you don't feel nothing, wait
Time isn't healing, wait, time is revealing, wait
How are you feeling? Wait, you don't feel nothing
Me
Me
Just like I expected
Falling back on me
Falling back, if I
Falling back on me
Falling back on me
Falling back on me
Falling back on me
Falling back on me
Falling back on me
Falling back on me
Falling back on me
Falling back on me
Falling back on me
Falling back on me
Falling back on me
Falling back on me
Falling back on me
Falling back on me
Falling back on me
Falling back on me
Falling back on me
Falling back on me
What would you do without me?
What would you do without me?
I think you would lose everything
Fallin' back on me
Well, hear wah, you don't test
