Fall at Your Feet
Crowded House Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I feel like I'm moving inside her
Lying in the dark
An' I think that I'm beginning to know her
Let it go
I'll be there when you call
And whenever I fall at your feet
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
You're hiding from me now
There's something in the way that you're talking
Words don't sound right
But I hear them all moving inside you
Go, I'll be waiting when you call
And whenever I fall at your feet
You let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turning pain
The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help
Who knows where that might lead
I fall
Whenever I fall at your feet
You let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I fall
Whenever I fall
At its core, "Fall at Your Feet" is a love song about intimacy, vulnerability, and the ups and downs of a relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer is physically and emotionally close to his partner and feels like he's beginning to truly understand her. He offers himself to her, ready and willing to be there whenever she needs him. The chorus speaks of the trust that has developed between the two of them, with the singer acknowledging that whenever he falls at her feet, she lets her tears rain down on him. The verse that follows depicts a moment of uncertainty, with the singer noticing that his partner is hiding something from him. He offers to be there for her, as he always has been, and suggests that he's willing to take on any problems or pain she's experiencing.
Throughout the song, there's a sense that the singer is navigating the complexities of a relationship that has its challenges but is ultimately worth fighting for. The line "the finger of blame has turned upon itself" could suggest that the couple has recently overcome some sort of conflict or disagreement, but the singer is willing to put that behind them and move forward with his partner. Similarly, the line "do you want my presence or need my help/who knows where that might lead" captures the uncertainty and unpredictability of romance, as the singer ponders what the future might hold for the two of them.

And whenever I fall at your feet
You let your tears rain down on me
Whenever I touch your slow turnin' pain
You're hidin' from me now
There's somethin' in the way that you're talkin'
The words don't sound right
But I hear them all moving inside you
Know I'll be waiting when you call
Hey, whenever I fall at your feet
Won't you let your tears rain down on me?
Whenever I touch your slow turnin' pain
The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I'm more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help?
Who knows where that might lead
I fall
Whenever I fall at your feet
Won't you let your tears rain down on me?
Whenever I fall ( at your feet )
Whenever I fall
