Description“Falter” has a lovely soul-inspired melody and a text that meanders between the uplifting theme from “Islander” (Never ask duped by the voices in your head that say you can’t), and something far darker (What a man could achieve in the safety of fences everywhere he looked to).

Lyrics[Verse 1]
What a man could do
Faced with people who
Told him he could never go wrong
Bring the challenges on
He could handle anything that got thrown his way

Never be duped by the voices in your head
That say you can't
Never get knocked down by your adversaries
Never accept anything less than the best
Be true to your needs
And I need you here with me
[Pre-Chorus]
Without you
To rely on
I got no way to find solid ground
Without you
To rely on
The ground fades away from under my feet

[Chorus]
And I falter
It's getting darker
I go missing
Like I lose myself
Like I lose
And I falter
It's getting darker
I go missing
Like I lose myself
Like I lose myself

[Verse 2]
What a man could achieve
In the safety of
Fences everywhere he looked to
Streams and flowerbeds, cloudless skies
And all the poetry sang on end
You might also likeHe's always sure of the quality
Of everything he produces
He always has faith in his superiority
Never, ever doubts anything
He says it's always genius
I don't need that here with me

[Pre-Chorus]
Without you
To rely on
I got no way to find solid ground
Without you
To rely on
The ground fades away from under my feet

[Chorus]
And I falter
It's getting darker
I go missing
Like I lose myself
Like I lose
And I falter
It's getting darker
I go missing
Like I lose myself
Like I lose myself
And I falter
It's getting darker
I go missing
Like I lose myself
Like I lose
And I falter
It's getting darker
I go missing
Like I lose myself
Like I lose myself
[Outro]
And I falter
And I falter
And I falter
And I falter
