Fallen for You
Adam Merrin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you remember back when we were standing still
And all we had were holes we couldn't fill
All those days are over now
Hiding from the sun away from everyone

I'm telling the world I've fallen for you
I've made up my mind
I know it for sure
I've fallen for you

You called me when you were on my mind
I couldn't speak and words were hard to find
All the things I couldn't say in front of everyone
I'd turn my head and run

I'm telling the world I've fallen for you
I've made up my mind
I know it for sure
I've fallen for you

Every time you think it's never ending
Close your eyes like you did before
After all we can't go on pretending
That all this really matters anymore

I'm telling the world I've fallen for you
I've made up my mind




I know it for sure
I've fallen for you
