Can't Fall

Exist Elsewhere · 413 · 2013 · with Brandon Michael Woodward · From 413

Exist Elsewhere 413 heartbreak: I can't fall in love, broken inside and out, don't wait for me: then please fix me, savior; synced nationally in Pantene.

Listen: SpotifyApple MusicYouTube

Track two on 413 (August 2, 2013), between Tokyo and Unwhole. Straight wounded boy-band heartbreak: Walton and Woodward harmonizing over I can’t fall in love with you, stacked until it fractures, with the verdict already in (I’ve never known a love that didn’t shatter when the times got tough). The satirical brain that later powers FEiN isn’t online yet. This is the template, sincerely played.

The better story is what happened next. A song built entirely around refusing to fall in love got synced nationally in a Pantene campaign with Zooey Deschanel, a can’t-fall-in-love anthem repurposed to sell shampoo. The band’s PR Newswire bio names the placement. It’s the first Exist Elsewhere track with a national footprint.

Lyrics
I can't fall in love with you
I can't fall in love with you
I can't fall in love with you
I can't fall I can't fall

Am I suppoed to fall in love with you
Another girl who wants me to
Just what do I do
Oh what do I do?

I must admit
I've never known
A love that didn't shatter
When the times got tough 

Oh what do I do?
Just what do I do?

To all the lovers in the world
Please believe me
To all the lovers in the world
Don't wait for me

Cuz I'm broken inside and out
Inside and out
And I'm broken inside and out
Inside and out

And nobody gonna fix me now

I can't fall in love with you
I can't fall in love with you
I can't fall in love with you
I can't fall I can't fall

The first time was typical
I thought that we were invincible
Oh what did I do
Just what did I do?

The second time
I knew we were doomed
I found her round another
It was over so soon

Oh she was untrue
Just what do I do?

To all the lovers in the world
Please believe me
To all the lovers in the world
Don't wait for me

Cuz I'm broken inside and out
Inside and out
And I'm broken inside and out
Inside and out

And nobody gonna fix me now

(Fix me fix me fix me)
And nobody gonna fix me now
Fix me now
Fix me now
Oh

Could you open me up
Set me free
My savior
From tragedy
Oh
Could you open me up
Finally
My savior
You could be 
Oh

Cuz I'm broken inside and out
Inside and out
And I'm broken inside and out
Inside and out

And nobody gonna fix me now
I can't fall in love with you
I can't fall in love with you
And nobody gonna fix me now
I can't fall in love with you
Just what do I do
Oh what do I do
Fix me now

I can't fall in love with you
I I I can't fall in love with you
Just what do I do
Oh what do I do
