When singing, accents rarely come into play. This controversy over fold it versus fallin' has only been magnified by the fact that whoever is maintaining Phoenix's wearephoenix.com and social media sites has erroneously reported that the lyric is fold it. You REALLY have to stretch to HEAR fold it, let along make sense of the lyric. The line is fallin' fallin' fall in. Considering the way the words are formed throughout the rest of the song, you don't hear him sing "counting ol' different ideas". Clearly we hear him sing "counting ALL different ideas". And "what you say is way too complicated", you can hear the hard endings of what and plicated, so clearly the singer can annunciate properly. He's not singing whoa you say it way to complicatah". LOL. It's fallin'. "For a minute thought I couldn't tell how to fall out" ... now, if he was singing "fold out..."

Had you actually bought the CD, you would that see in the liner notes.

Are you saying that both the liner notes AND the band's official website got it wrong???
