Lyrics Cannonball

The song was written by Damien Rice, reflecting on the complexities and pains of love and loss. It heavily emphasizes the emotions and questions that arise after the end of a relationship.


There's still a little bit of your taste, in my mouth
There's still a little bit of you laced, with my doubt
It's still a little hard to say, what's going on

There's still a little bit of your ghost, your witness
There's still a little bit of your face, I haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day, that i can't say what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall, when you float like a cannonball


There's still a little bit of your song, in my ear
There's still a little bit of your words, I long to hear
You step a little closer to me, so close that I can't see what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall, when you float like a cannon...
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage teach me to be shy
Cause it's not hard to fall, and I don't wanna scare her
It's not hard to fall, and I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow, when you know that you just don't know
