Verse 1 Night was moving way too fast One wrong moment from the past I felt the line begin to slide Knew we wouldn’t make the ride Your hands froze, I felt the fear In that second you were here No time left to think it through Only one thing I could do Pre-Chorus No words spoken, no delay Instinct took the lead that day Chorus I took the fall So you wouldn’t I took the fall That’s all I could One bike, two lives, no second call I took the fall Verse 2 The world tilted, balance gone Everything we trusted on I moved first, I pulled away Shielded you without delay I didn’t choose the road or speed I chose you over everything That moment wrote it clear and fast Some instincts are built to last Pre-Chorus Control isn’t twisting through It’s knowing who depends on you Chorus I took the fall So you wouldn’t I took the fall I knew I should One second changed it all I took the fall Bridge This isn’t brave, this isn’t pride It’s the promise of the ride When you carry someone else You carry more than just yourself Final Chorus I took the fall And I’d do it again I took the fall For you, my friend Speed means nothing, nothing at all If I can’t protect us when we fall Outro Engine quiet, night stands still Some choices come from will I took the fall So you’re still here
