Falling for You
Kelley James Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can’t get you off my mind
I’m stealing time to keep this feeling
You walk around in all my dreams
And I just can conceal it

You on my mind tonight
You on my mind
In time it must repeat
Don’t give it all away

And all I know is this one thing
That I’m falling for you
And all I have is secrets
That I just want to give
And I have gone a thousand miles
Just to let you know
All I know is this one thing
That I’m falling for you

You’re such a pretty sight in city lights
It’s so confusing
You wait around
But what you find is never worth pursuing
You are my life tonight
You are my life
Without you I’m not breathing
Don’t give it all away

There’s something that I
Really gotta say to you
I’m hoping that I could be the one




That you need in your life
When you lie in bed at night, awake
