I've Just Seen A Face
Jim Sturgess Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't forget the time or place
Where we just meet
She's just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see
We've met, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
Had it been another day
And I'd have never been aware
But as it is I'll dream of her
Tonight, mmmmmmmmmmmmm
Falling, yes, I am falling
And she keeps calling
Me back again
I have never known
The like of this, I've been alone
And I have missed things
And kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite
Like this, da, da, 'n' da, da 'n' da
Falling, yes, I am falling
And she keeps calling
Me back again
Falling, yes, I am falling
And she keeps calling
Me back again
I've just seen a face
I can't forget the time or place
Where we just meet
She's just the girl for me
And I want all the world to see
We've met, mmm, mmm, mmm, da, da, da
Falling, yes I am falling
And she keeps calling
Me back again
Falling, yes, I am falling
And she keeps calling
Me back again
Oh, falling, yes, I am falling
And she keeps calling
Me back again
The song "I've Just Seen a Face" by Jim Sturgess is about love at first sight. The singer describes seeing this girl for the first time and feeling like she's the one for him. He feels an instant connection and wants the world to see it. He's fallen for her, and she keeps calling him back to her.
The lyrics suggest that the singer has been alone for a while and has missed out on things. He's never met anyone like this girl before, and he feels like he's falling in love with her. The repetition of "falling" in the chorus emphasizes the feeling of losing control and being consumed by this newfound love.
The song's simple lyrics and upbeat melody capture the excitement and euphoria of falling in love. The song's structure is also noteworthy, as the verses and chorus are repeated multiple times without a bridge or solo section. This gives the song a sense of urgency and reinforces the singer's obsession with this girl.
Overall, "I've Just Seen a Face" is a catchy, feel-good song about the joys of finding love unexpectedly.

Not sure if you're still active, but I always remember this comment whenever I think of this video. I'm talking since the first time I saw this a decade ago. It was the first thing I looked for pulling this up right now. I hope you're doing well!
