Falling
Adam Merrin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I pay no mind to what's outside

I heard it raining on Sunday

There's no harm in how I feel

You went away far too soon

I went to look what was on TV

I sat and stared in the corner

All this time that has passed us by

Never knew we were wasting time

I'm falling

I've fallen for you

I'm falling

Fallen for you

I took a walk and I sang a tune

I'm out of breath and I'm fading

I went to rest in the shady park

The colors changed in the afternoon

I'm falling

I've fallen for you

I'm falling

Fallen for you

The stars came out and the moon is high

I was thinking bout you all last night

And in the morning the sun will shine

And in the afternoon the clouds roll by

I'm falling

I've fallen for you

I'm falling

Fallen for you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Adam Merrin's song "Falling" depict a person who is deeply in love with someone who has left them too soon. The person pays no attention to what's happening around them, indicating the intensity of their emotions. The sound of the rain on Sunday does not bother them either. They feel that there is no harm in the way they are feeling, even though their heart is aching, and they are missing the one whom they loved deeply.

As the person sat and stared aimlessly at the TV, they realized how much time had passed without them realizing it. It dawns on them that they had been wasting so much time, not knowing that there was not enough time left.

In the next few lines, the person takes a walk in the park and sings a tune, but they are out of breath and fading, which depicts how their love for the other person is taking a toll on them. As the person rests in the park, the colors change in the afternoon, indicating the passing of time that they cannot get back.

The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm falling" several times, connoting the depth of the person's feeling of love, but they keep falling despite the other person having gone away too soon. They think about the other person all night long and know that the sun will shine again in the morning.

Overall, the song is melancholic yet beautiful, the words and the melody working together to create a haunting, evocative atmosphere.

Line by Line Meaning

I pay no mind to what's outside
I don't care about anything else

I heard it raining on Sunday
There was rain on a particular Sunday

There's no harm in how I feel
It's alright to feel this way

You went away far too soon
You left earlier than expected

I went to look what was on TV
I checked what was on television

I sat and stared in the corner
I just sat bored without doing anything

All this time that has passed us by
Time has gone by so quickly

Never knew we were wasting time
We didn't realize we were wasting our time

I'm falling
I'm falling in love

I've fallen for you
I am now in love with you
