Fall
Ed Sheeran Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and I
Two of a mind
This love's one of a kind
You and I
We're drifting
Over the edge

And I will fall for you

And I will fall for you
If I fall for you
Would you fall too?

You and I
Learning to speak
With kisses on cheeks
You and I
We're lifted
Over the edge

And I will fall for you
And I will fall for you
If I fall for you
Would you fall too?

And I will fall for you
And I will fall for you
And if I fall for you
Would you fall too?
Would you fall too?
Would you fall too?

Would you fall too?
Would you fall too?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Fall" by Ed Sheeran speak of a romantic and affectionate relationship between two people, who share a deep connection and understanding of each other. The song paints a picture of two individuals who are in perfect sync and are drifting towards the edge, but are falling for each other in the process.

The opening stanza "You and I
Two of a mind
This love's one of a kind
You and I
We're drifting
Over the edge" suggests that the two people are on the same wavelength and are in harmony with each other, which sets their love apart from others. They are slowly losing control, and are drifting towards the edge, but they are doing it together.

The chorus of the song, "And I will fall for you
And I will fall for you
If I fall for you
Would you fall too?" further emphasizes the deep love they have for each other. The singer declares that he is ready to fall for the other person, but asks if they are willing to do the same.

The second verse continues the romantic theme, describing how the couple is learning to express themselves better through physical gestures, such as kisses on the cheek. They are being lifted over the edge by their love for each other.
