## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Look into my eyes

Don't be afraid of what you’ll find there

You're scared, I am too

**[Verse 2]**

Let's go for a drive

To the river bed at the end of the road

Where I’d stare off into the distance

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Just one lover's kiss

Might be enough to break

The spell that I fell under

When I first saw you there

**[Chorus]**

Is this love?

A feeling of just a big mistake

Is this love?

I'm dealing with just another day

I'm falling down, down, down, down the wishing well

Falling down, down, down the wishing well today

**[Verse 3]**

Your wrists are saying yes

But your lips are saying no

Show me you believe this, I wish I did too

**[Verse 4]**

And if you stay the night

Wouldn't be okay when the time comes to leave you confused

Trying to figure this out now

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Just one lover's kiss

Might be enough to break

The spell that I fell under

When I first saw you there

**[Chorus]**

Is this love?

A feeling of just a big mistake

Is this love?

I'm dealing with just another day

I'm falling down, down, down, down the wishing well

Falling down, down, down the wishing well today

**[Chorus]**

Is this love?

A feeling of just a big mistake

Is this love?

I’m dealing with just another day

I’m falling down, down, down, down the wishing well

Falling down, down, down the wishing well today
