Falling Over Me
Demi Lovato Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm watching boys follow girls perfume
All is as it should be I assume
Except for the distance between me and you
You're standing as a flower on the wall
The room is still but we're about to fall
And all the names that brought us here
Who you are is falling over me
(Who you are is falling over me)
Who you are is everything I need
(Who you are is everything I need)
I'm hoping
I'm waiting
I'm praying you are the one
I'm hoping
I'm waiting
I'm praying you are the one
I can't believe that night turned into today
I used the line you were supposed to say
And all the names that brought us here
And now we have to thank
Who you are is falling over me
(Who you are is falling over me)
Who you are is everything I need
(Who you are is everything I need)
I'm hoping
I'm waiting
I'm praying you are the one
I'm hoping
I'm waiting
I'm praying you are the one
If you are I will wait I will follow
I'm here to stay
As long as we're promised tomorrow
I promise you today I'll wait
I'll wait
Who you are is falling over me
(Who you are is falling over me)
Who you are is everything I need
(Who you are is everything I need)
I'm hoping
I'm waiting
I'm praying you are the one
I'm hoping
I'm waiting
I'm praying you are the one
You are the one
The lyrics of Demi Lovato's song "Falling Over Me" speaks about one person's feelings for another, the longing and hoping for the other person to reciprocate those feelings. The person is standing in the center of the room, watching as boys follow girls perfume, and everything seems to be in order except for the distance between the person and the person they are longing for. The person they are longing for is standing like a flower on the wall, quiet and distant. The room that was once still is about to fall, and all the names that led them to that moment fade away.
The nameless people that were once significant distractions fade away, making room for the focus to be on the person they desire. The person they long for is falling over them, and everything about them is everything they need. The person is hoping, praying, and waiting for the one they desire to feel the same way. The night that once was thought to be frivolous has turned into a new day, and the person uses the same lines that the person they desire was supposed to say.
As long as there is a tomorrow to promise, the person promises to wait and follow the one they desire. The lyrics depict the raw emotions of a person who has feelings for another but is unsure of the other person's feelings. The person is hoping and praying that the other person reciprocates their feelings.

I'm standing in the center of the room
I am present in the middle of the space
I'm watching boys follow girls perfume
I'm observing boys tracking the scent of girls
All is as it should be I assume
I suppose everything is right as it is
Except for the distance between me and you
However, there is a gap between us
You're standing as a flower on the wall
You're positioned like a wallflower
The room is still but we're about to fall
Even though everything seems quiet, we're almost tumbling
And all the names that brought us here
All the labels that caused us to meet
Simply fade away
Are simply vanishing
Who you are is falling over me
Your true identity is washing over me
(Who you are is falling over me)
(Your essence is enveloping me)
Who you are is everything I need
You possess everything I require
(Who you are is everything I need)
(Your being is exactly what I need)
I'm hoping
I'm optimistic
I'm waiting
I'm biding my time
I'm praying you are the one
I'm supplicating that you're my soulmate
I can't believe that night turned into today
I can't fathom how last night transitioned into morning
I used the line you were supposed to say
I said the words you were expected to voice
And all the names that brought us here
And all the designations that caused us to meet
And now we have to thank
And at present, we must give gratitude
If you are I will wait I will follow
If you're the one, I'll wait for you and pursue you
I'm here to stay
I'll remain by your side
As long as we're promised tomorrow
Provided that we're guaranteed a future day
I promise you today I'll wait
I assure you that today, I'll wait for you
You are the one
You are my true love
