Head Over Heels
Larkins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Always thought my feet
Were firmly planted
Steady as a rock
Made out of granite
I could always count on me
To keep it together.
You waltzed in and
Messed with my way of thinking
The way I've been
You might think that I've been drinking
Stumbling, laughing crazy as a fool.

{Chorus}
Ran up the door and closed the stairs
Said my pajamas put on my prayers
Brushed my face and washed my teeth
What's become of me?
I'm dazed and confused
But I like how it feels
Guess love's got me
Head over heels.
Feels okay in this
Mixed up life I'm living
I'll just take the fate
That I was giving
How much longer is this dream?
I hope it's forever.
Where've you been
No need for hesitation
Come on in
Don't keep my heart a waiting
Take my hand let's dancin into the night

(Chorus 2x)

I'm dazed and confused,
But I like how it feels
Guess love's got me




Head over heels
Head over heels.

Always thought my feet
I was confident in my ability to stay grounded


Were firmly planted
I believed I was unshakeable


Steady as a rock
I thought I was rock solid


Made out of granite
I was unmovable in my ways


I could always count on me
I trusted myself to remain consistent


To keep it together.
I was capable of remaining composed


You waltzed in and
You entered my life and


Messed with my way of thinking
Disrupted my thought process


The way I've been
My previous approach to life


You might think that I've been drinking
Would make you assume I was under the influence


Stumbling, laughing crazy as a fool.
Acting recklessly and carefree


Ran up the door and closed the stairs
In a disoriented state, I did something nonsensical


Said my pajamas put on my prayers
I confused my nightly routine


Brushed my face and washed my teeth
I mishandled my hygiene practices


What's become of me?
I'm not sure what's happening to me


I'm dazed and confused
I'm in a state of disorientation


But I like how it feels
But strangely, I enjoy it


Guess love's got me
I'm under the influence of love


Head over heels.
Completely infatuated


Feels okay in this
I'm content with this


Mixed up life I'm living
Despite the confusion in my life


I'll just take the fate
I'll accept my destiny


That I was giving
That has been given to me


How much longer is this dream?
I hope this feeling never ends


Where've you been
Where have you been all this time?


No need for hesitation
There's no reason to hold back


Come on in
Enter my life


Don't keep my heart a waiting
Don't leave me waiting for love


Take my hand let's dancing into the night
Let's dance together through the night


I'm dazed and confused,
Again, I'm confused


But I like how it feels
But I still enjoy it


Guess love's got me
I'm still under the influence of love


Head over heels
Still completely infatuated
