Love The Fall by Michael Paynter featuring The Veronicas, Music Lyrics and Video
Love The Fall is a single by singer-songwriter and musician, Michael Paynter, from his debut album, titled “This Welcome Diversion”.
The musical evolution of Michael Paynter has been a series of obsessive love affairs. At the age of 7 it was the piano, at age 12 it was the guitar, and by the age of 15 he was crashing through a set of drums.
It’s a natural progression that, at the age of 24, the Melbourne-born singer, lyricist, and multi-instrumentalist has harnessed his talents to release his debut EP Love The Fall.
Michael is invigorated by living, breathing and immersing himself in music, and his new EP, released on July 9, features the songs Are You Alive, as heard on Channel Seven’s promo for the final series of Lost, and Love The Fall, which features back up vocals from Michael’s good mates Lisa and Jess Origliasso (The Veronicas).

Michael Paynter - Love The Fall Lyrics ft. The Veronicas
I remember the time
When I was searching my mind
Just to find out if
I’d ever define who I am
Could I ever afford
To consider being bought?
I was sure that I saw
All the world but I keep wishing for more
So I keep checking my direction
Watching my own reflection
Am I still still in connection
With the way I wanna be?
Did I behave
Cause i’ve been stuck here for days
I’m in a daze
Had a chance to be the saviour
But I threw it away
So what if I dive off the edge of my life
And there’s nothing beneath?
What if i live like there’s nothing to lose
Just to die on my knees?
At least I’ll know
I walked the dark
I took the scars
I risked it all
And learned to love the fall
I could never say how it hurts
To feel the worst
I never make it even though I rehearse
But I wont that be type of guy
That never tried
That never took a chance or took his
Moment to fly, to be free
You may be of the opinion
That I’m making the wrong decision
That I’m giving up the chance
To live my life with your vision
But I can’t give up
I won’t give up
Until you see that OK is never ever enough
So what if I dive off the edge of my life
And there’s nothing beneath?
What if i live like there’s nothing to lose
Just to die on my knees?
At least I’ll know
I walked the dark
I took the scars
I risked it all
And learned to love the fall
I’m here
My hands are cold
My heart is racing
Yeah
The only fear is fear of failing
So what if I dive off the edge of my life
And there’s nothing beneath?
What if i live like there’s nothing to lose
Just to die on my knees?
At least I’ll know
I walked the dark
I took the scars
I risked it all
And learned to love the fall

I’ve been listening to this song, non-stop for the past 24 hours X)
Hope that helps, and the stuff in ( ) with a Question mark is things I don’t really… know. =\

I think it’s actually:
“Dive off” (–now that I listen to it again.)
“I walked the door,– (thats really what I hear)
I took the scars”

I think it might be this:
I remember the time
When I was searching my mind
Just to find out if I ever define who I am
Could I ever afford to consider being bored
I was sure that I saw all the world
But I keep wishing for more
So I keep checking my direction
Watching my own reflection
Am I still, still in connection
With the way I wanna be
Did I behave, ‘cause I’ve been stuck here for days. I’m in a daze
Had the chance to be a saviour
But I through it away
What if I dive off the edge of my life
And there’s nothing beneath
What if I live like there’s nothing to loose
Just to die on my knees
At least I know (????)
I took the scars
I risked it all
And learnt to love the fall
I could never see how it hurts
To feel the worst
And never make it
Even though how it hurts
That I won’t be that type of guy
That never tried and never took his chance
Or his moment to fly, to be free
And you may be of the opinion
That I am making the wrong decision
That I am giving up the chance to live my life in your vision
But I can’t give up, no I won’t give up
Until you see that ok is never, ever enough
What if I dive off the edge of my life
And there’s nothing beneath
What if I live like there’s nothing to loose
Just to die on my knees
At least I know (????)
I took the scars
I risked it all
And learnt to love the fall
I’m here
My hands are cold
My heart is racing
Yeah
The only fear, is fear of failing
What if I dive off the edge of my life
And there’s nothing beneath
What if I live like there’s nothing to loose
Just to die on my knees
At least I know (????)
I took the scars
I risked it all
And learnt to love the fall
And learnt to love the fall

I agree with the lyrics Jess posted, but there’s a couple of lines which I think are:
Instead of:
“And never make it
Even though how it hurts”
I think it’s:
“I never make it
Even though I rehearse”
Could it be “I walked the dark”?? That’s a tough one!
Such an awesome song!! Thanks for taking the time to figure out the lyrics for us!!

Its funny how I go to the other sites and they have the wrong lyrics I posted in the first place.
I just typed out what I heard, I knew a lot of them were wrong and I edited them as I went. I must say, I am amazed at how hard it was to figure out these amazing lyrics. (:

I have no idea how to correct lyrics, but if someone can change the spelling of ‘through’ to ‘THREW’ in this bit:
Cause i’ve been stuck here for days
I’m in a daze
Had a chance to be the saviour
But I through it away
‘Threw’ is the correct spelling of throwing something away, not ‘through’.
