This is the alternative rock song that I’ve been trying to write since I started plugging in my electric guitar and learning my favourite songs when I was 13 years old!
It’s about falling back in love with my passion for writing, recording, and performing music. Something that I had incredible drive for when I started my first band, but somehow fell off track and lost my way with in my late twenties.
lyrics
Lyrics:
Dreams are littered all across my
Scattered brain if you can under-
Stand me, know that you are not alone (not alone)
Success is measured in the form of
Progress, riddled by my accomplishments
Hanging all around these walls
Take imperfect action
Fail fast, learn to redesign it
Calculate every step of the way
Because I’m falling now (more than I’ve ever been)
Back in love (more than I’ve ever been)
Falling now, back in love
Chasing my passion
Lost my footing for a few years
Empty fuel if you can under-
Stand me, know that you can instill drive (instill drive)
Fulfillment is measured in the form of
Less regrets, than lines I haven’t crossed off
Bucket lists, hanging all around these walls
Take imperfect action
Fail fast, learn to redesign it
Compensate for potential mistakes
Because I’m falling now (more than I’ve ever been)
Back in love (more than I’ve ever been)
Falling now, back in love
Chasing my passion
Falling now (more than I’ve ever been)
Back in love (more than I’ve ever been)
Falling now, back in love
Chasing my passion
Falling
I’m falling now
I’m falling
I’m falling now
Take imperfect action
Fail fast, fail often
Take imperfect action
Fail fast, learn from it
Because I’m falling now (more than I’ve ever been)
Back in love (more than I’ve ever been)
Falling now, back in love
Chasing my passion
(Back in love) Falling now (more than I’ve ever been)
Back in love (more than I’ve ever been)
(Back in love) Falling now, back in love
Chasing my passion (Back in love)
Chasing passion
Chasing my passion
(Falling)
(I’m falling now) Chasing passion
(I’m falling) Back in love
(in love, in love, in love, in love, in love, in love)

Kitchener, Ontario-native John Maksym spent his childhood jumping on furniture, singing along to every Springsteen hit. He
would don a red cape and pretend to be on the big stage, entertaining the masses. Fast forward and that kid has become a well-respected recording artist, songwriter, and performer—trading in his red cape for a fresh jacket, and hitting those big stages to entertain the masses....more
Scott Sellars is formerly the frontman in the incredible fast-melodic California based punk rock band RUFIO! His band was a huge influence on me in high school and this album is just beautifully done! John Maksym
