Analysis of Why Did I Fall
What if I stayed awake,
And thought about you, while you slept.
Forgetting what I think about fate,
To your discretion, I am behest.
Enamored atc least, but I'll deny,
That your eloquence enslaves me so.
Reveal to me your operandi,
That I could sort you out and let you go.
When I figure out what draws me to you,
Be insured, a remedy will be found.
We went understand ahead of time,
What elements would begrudge my ground.
