The Fall
Forests Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The day that I met you
The world had just spit me out
On my way to the bottom
Sure I'd never be found
Then you saw me for me
Made me believe in myself
On the day that I met you
It all turned around

You said close your eyes
Don't look down

Fall into me and I'll catch you, darlin
We'll dance in the street like nobody's watching
It's just you and me and the song on repeat in my head
Playing over and over
I'm drunk on your voice high on the moment
I'd fall for you twice if that's what you wanted
I'd give you my life from now till forever
I'm falling in love with you
Over and over again

Until I had met you
There was no sun in my sky
No mirrors for monsters
And no love in sight
Then you walked down those stairs
And I knew my heart wasn't mine
On the day that I met you
My whole world came alive

You said close your eyes
I got you now

Fall into me and I'll catch you, darlin
We'll dance in the street like nobody's watching
It's just you and me and the song on repeat in my head
Playing over and over
I'm drunk on your voice high on the moment
I'd fall for you twice if that's what you wanted
I'd give you my life from now till forever
I'm falling in love with you
Over and over again

I'm falling in love with you
I'm falling in love with you
I'm falling in love with you over and over
I'm falling in love with you over and over

Fall into me and I'll catch you, darlin
Let's dance in the streets like nobody's watching
It's just you and me and the song on repeat in my head
Playing over and over
I'm drunk on your voice high on the moment
I'd fall for you twice if that's what you wanted
I'd give you my life from now till forever
I'm falling in love with you
Over and over again

Fall into me and I'll catch you, darlin




Let's dance in the streets like nobody's watching
It's just you and me and the song on repeat in our heads

Dad had a small vacation house in the Poconos when I was a kid.
Had a similar stream like in the video.
It also had a pool that used to be the old foundation to a home long since gone.
We kids built a waterfall under the small bridge used to gain access to the house.
The stream and home were located down 2 sets of a stairway from the parking area off the main road into town.
We used to get the water from the stream by using an old fashioned hand pump in the kitchen sink.
We had no water heater,so had to take cold showers.
The house had a huge riverstone fireplace with a narrow stair behind it that went to a 2nd floor with 3 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms.
I have alot of fond memories of that home.
Sleeping either in the loft bedroom, or on the thick rug in front of a roaring fire during Christmas vacation.
I wish I could find the area it was in.
I'm sure the house is probably gone by now, cuz its been 40 yrs since.
All I remember is the name of the closest town cuz I only went there once with my dad to help get supplies.
One of these days I'll take a drive along the Delaware and find that old famous log bridge that we used to cross to get there.

Its truly amazing that a sound could make your mind and wonderful memories work overtime...
🙏🏼🙏🏼🥰😢
