Falling In Love With Love
Griffith & Godwin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or is the pavement cracked?
cm I walking forwards,
Or am I stepping back?
Why does my breath escape me?
Why am I feeling blue?
Could it be that I'm in love with you?
cnd freshly baking bread?
I'd like to scowl at strangers,
But I have to smile instead.
Does my heart always beat this quickly?
cre my cheeks this rosy too?
Could it be that I'm in love with you?
If I had been drinking,
I'd think that I was drunk.
If I had been sinking,
I'd say that I was sunk.
But I'm as sober as a bishop,
cs steady as a yacht,
But I can't help getting tipsy
With these feelings that I've got.
Should the day go by so slowly?
Should the birds all sing your name?
Is this a work of art,
Or your picture in a frame?
It's you that's making me crazy,
cnd I don't know what to do.
Could it be that I'm in love with you?
