After Don Cherry's death in 1995, Eagle-Eye moved to Stockholm with his girlfriend, and he began to focus on songwriting. He soon recorded 'Desireless' (1997), and it became a hit across Scandinavia and the rest of Europe, with an American release coming in 1998. "Save Tonight" proved a major hit, and made Cherry into an international star. His second album came in 2000 (titled 'Living in the Present Future') and was remixed for the States (where it was released as 'Present/Future'), but it saw disappointing sales. Cherry's success has waxed and waned since his late 90s heyday

Eagle-Eye Cherry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm finding it easier, to fall out
I can't deny it, I feel it inside
Ill keep its fire, oh you can't hide
[Chorus:]
I'm fallilng in love again
ain't nothing I can do
And this time its with you
When I fall
Its always the same
And I'm so tired of playing this game
Been so long now
Since I gave up my heart
I've kept it locked down
I don't want to get it harmed
So let me tell you know
I just want to be sure that you won't hurt me
Can you promise me that
[Chorus]
You got to tell me
If you're gonna break my heart
'cause I don't want to take the chance
And if it ain't true
Its all gonna be
It nothing but a poor romance
So give me that promise to hold on
And Ill never let you go
We gotta have something to go on
I'm letting you know now
[Chorus]

I was playing this song because me and my wife were talking about the song "Falling in Love Again" sung by Marlene Deitrich, but this song really takes me back. I wasn't alive for Marlene's version, but I sure remember this!
Felicity Podcast
I just discovered that this song was in the original airing of the show Felicity during season 1. It is amazing how many great songs didn't make it to the DVD or streaming versions.
