If I'm Gonna Fall In Love
A Rocket to the Moon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm gonna take my time
Make sure that the feeling's right
Instead of staying up all night
Wondering where you are
Miles and miles away
In a town in another state
I wanna know if you just can take
The thought of us apart

If I'm gonna fall in love
There's gotta be more than just enough
I gotta get that old feeling
I gotta get that old high

I come from an empty town
Far away from the city sounds
I'd like to settle down someday
And I need to know your past
Something that'll take you back
'Cause I wanna live like that, one day

If I'm gonna fall in love
There's gotta be more than just enough
I gotta get that old feeling
I gotta get that old high

You got a love to own
Gotta live life like a rolling stone
I gotta get that old feeling
I gotta get that old high

If I'm gonna fall in love

I can't stop wondering why
You're taking so long to find
Maybe I should just let go
But baby all I know

Is I'm gonna fall in love
Someday, someway you'll show up
I'm gonna get that old feeling
I'm gonna get that old high

If I'm gonna fall in love
There's gotta be more than just enough
I gotta get that old feeling
I gotta get that old high

You got a love to own
Gotta live life like a rolling stone
Gotta get that old feeling
Gotta get that old high

If I'm gonna fall in love

Gotta get that old feeling
Gotta get that old high
Gotta get that old feeling
Gotta get that old high
