"Trouble" Lyrics by Amy Rieckelman

If I told you tomorrow I'd soon be gone,
Would you beg me to stay?
Or keep on leading me on?

There's no more resistance
Or cutting it close.
It's gone in an instant
I'm letting go of the rope...

(Chorus)
(Cause I know trouble
Like the back of my hand.
On the nights of promises,
In the eyes of a beautiful man
It leads to nothin'
And now I know, 
It's time for saying goodbye
And finally letting you go.
Letting you go.

You're probably hearing this song
And thinking, it's not about you
You're just running around,
Like you have no clue.

It's years of wondering
If that last kiss means more?
Signs are telling me now, 
It's time to walk out the door.

(Chorus)
I know trouble.
(Letting you go)

"Battle Cries" Lyrics by Amy Rieckelman

There's a beauty in this wreckage
There's some lightning down the hall
Heart's not always where we left it
Leaning just beyond these walls

(Chorus)
Still searching for a reason why
Half the burn is learning
When to try and when to walk away
No more no more battle cries,
Battle cries

You can tell them that you need more time
That your hands hurt and you've lost your mind
Fallen roses on forgotten vines
Moving on then past these war-torn crimes

(Chorus)

And when you've found your home
Is it someplace that you want to go?
Cause escaping could be hard to do
What is wrong with you?
Nothing's wrong with you...

Still searching for a reason why
Half the burn is learning when to try
And when to walk away
One more, one more
Battle cry, battle cry, battle cry, battle cry

Gonna fight 'till we die.... (repeat)

"Hold You Down" Lyrics by Amy Rieckelman

You've had your time to be free
The suspense- it's killing me
And I don't want no more goodbyes
I'll take away the pain in your eyes

There'll be no other one
You'll be fine inside my love
If I could hold you down
I wanna hold you down

(Chorus)
I wanna stay by your side
I want your kiss to be mine
Come on and lay here tonight
So I could hold you down,
I wanna hold you down

We're in this now for better or worse
My love for you has felt like a curse sometimes
But I can see the stars before they shine
A galaxy of you in my mind

(Pre-chorus/ Chorus)
                                            
All these years can be the price that we've paid
We'll forget the rules of the games we've played

(Chorus)

Hold You Down

Hold You

"Oh Love" Lyrics by Amy Rieckelman:
When I tell you I love you
Does it bring you down?
There were words before
Now dead and in the ground

We're just looking around now
For the final straw
The thing to wreck it down
Make it wrong

Chorus:
Oh Love
The touching comes too late
We lie and then we hate
Do I leave 
Or do I wait, do I wait?

Love
There's no end to this game
We live to hesitate
Will you leave?
Or will you wait, will you wait?

2nd verse:
I remember the moonlight
When I caught your eye
Shining down and you
Sayin' you'd be mine

Now we're dancing with strangers
'Cause now we know
That it's cold here now 
In the afterglow

(Chorus + do do's X 2)

Oh Love

"Again Tonight" Lyrics by Amy Rieckelman
Cold as ice, this water
It's gonna bring us down
Let's get high forever
Baby till we drown
Run away, from our city by the sea
It's looking kind of, kind of empty to me

We can start that restaurant, in our Midwestern town
It's the road that you want, I wanna follow you down
It ain't easy for me, just to say what I mean
Cause I've been loving you so long, so damn long in my dreams

(chorus)
So please, take the edge off of me tonight
Stay till morning and see the light
With me, my love, you'll be alright

Believe, in the dark there can be a light
We've had years now to make this right
Let's start again, again, tonight.

I cry out to touch you, you bring me to my knees
And the birds who follow, they refuse now to leave
You reach for tomorrow, and I could die for today
If your love lies hollow, then I won't ask you to stay.

(Chorus repeats two times)

We're in the after-glow
That's all we have to know...

The Long Fall

Again Tonight

"With the premiere of “Trouble,” a mournful track of alienation, doubt, nostalgia, and ultimate resignation in the face of corrupted love, The Long Fall lives up to this thematic synopsis."- LADYGUNN.

"Presenting the debut single “Oh Love”...The roller-coaster-like ways of turbulent amour are exhibited in echoes ...that are felt beneath the glow of the moonlight or neon bulb of a bar lamp. "-Sjimon Gompers, IMPOSE.

"The Long Fall celebrates the human spirit on her song “Battle Cries,” an incredibly poignant, stirring display of our innermost beauty."- Mitch Mosk, Atwood Magazine.
