Falling for You
Colbie Caillat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know but...
I think I maybe
Fallin' for you
Dropping so quickly
Maybe I should
Keep this to myself

Waiting 'til I..
Know you better
I am trying..
Not to tell you..
But I want to..

I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding..
What I'm feeling..
But I'm tired of
Holding this inside my head

I've been spending all my..time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you

I've been waiting all my.. life
And now I found ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm falling for you...
I'm falling for you...

As I'm standing here
And you hold my hand
Pull me towards you
And we start to dance

All around us
I see nobody
Here in silence
It's just
You and me

I'm trying..
Not to tell you..
But I want to..

I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding..
What I'm feeling...
But I'm tired of
Holding this inside my head

I've been spending all my.. time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you

I've been waiting all my.. life
And now I found ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you...
I'm fallin' for you...

Oh, I just can't take it..
My heart is racing..
Emotions keep spinning out...

I've been spending all my.. time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you

I've been waiting all my..life
And now I found ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you...
I'm fallin' for you...

I think I'm fallin' for you
I can't stop thinking about it
I want you all around me
And now I just can't hide it
I think I'm fallin' for you
I can't stop thinking about it
I want you all around me
And now I just can't hide it
I think I'm fallin' for you...
I'm fallin' for you...





Oh, I'm falling' for ya

Overall Meaning

The singer admits to herself that she may be falling for the other person, but is afraid to confess her feelings because she is scared of being rejected.

[Verse 1]
I don't know but I think I may be fallin' for you
Dropping so quickly
Maybe I should keep this to myself
Wait until I know you better

[Pre-Chorus]
I am trying, not to tell you
But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
And so I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of holding this inside my head

[Chorus]
I've been spending all my time
Just thinking 'bout you
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
And now I found you
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you

[Verse 2]
As I'm standing here
And you hold my hand
Pull me towards you

But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
And so I'm hiding what I'm feeling

I love this video. It so relates to me and my husband. He wasn’t my type and wasn’t the tough or handsome man. A little nerdy and silly, completely opposite of what I typically date but turns out to be the best man and perfect husband. I thank god everyday for bringing him into my life.

@beastmode2385

Lisa Zao but since I’m rich you can be mine ASAP

@johnston31684

Most girls these days don’t have that talent of picking mr. Right

@nickkimmer7020

Lisa Zao ❤️❤️❤️❤️ ty for marrying him from a fellow nerd 😃

@girlmeetspup5778

Awww that’s so sweet!!!

@8015908

Nice guys finish last. Girls get used by Chad's, until they finally want some stability with Timmy's and Tommy's.
