about

"Ready To Fall" - written by Lucy Zirins (Copyright Gingersnap Music 2013)

A song about being reluctant to get into a relationship/being unready for love.

ELO inspired rhythmic bowed Double Bass & Cello parts were written and arranged by Lucy Zirins for this track herself after a discussion with Michael Messer her producer about a documentary she'd recently watched on Jeff Lynne.

lyrics

Before you start the fire and open on my wasted heart
I guess I should warn you that I’ve been here before
Love’s no battlefield but I’ve had my share of injuries
And I don’t know how to make it other than going it alone

There’s still a lot for me to learn and I’ve messed up before
But if you put your trust in me, who knows where we could go?

I know I hurt you and I left you alone and waiting
I’m ready now, ready to fall
And the edge is closer but I can see clearly now
That I’m ready now, ready to fall
I’m ready now, ready to fall

Getting closer, I hear the beating of your heart
And the drumming scares me but I don’t want to know
How much I feel for you, no I don’t want to hurt you
Cause there’s always casualties for mistakes you make unknown

There’s still a lot for me to learn and I’ve messed up before
But suddenly you take my hand; it doesn’t matter anymore

I know I hurt you and I left you alone and waiting
I’m ready now, ready to fall
And the edge is closer but I can see clearly now
That I’m ready now, ready to fall
I’m ready now, ready to fall

I’m ready now to face this climb
Guess I had to get there in my own sweet time
But fear won’t hold me back from you anymore
I’ll take down every wall I’ve built stone by stone

I know I hurt you and I left you alone and waiting
I’m ready now, ready to fall
And the edge is closer but I can see clearly now
That I’m ready now, ready to fall
I know I hurt you and I left you alone and waiting
I’m ready now, ready to fall
And the edge is closer but I can see clearly now
That I’m ready now, ready to fall
I’m ready now, ready to fall
