We Fell In Love
Larry & Mike Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I gotta make you mine
Before I lose you; I couldn't stand the pain
The road to love has tragedies
Some loves don't get to be
Laying the tears in someone's eyes, I won't cry
And it could happen to us if we're not strong
[Chorus]
I hope we get to love in time
'Cause I gotta make you mine
Before I lose you, I couldn't stand the pain
I hope you'll fall in love with me
'Cause it would be a tragedy
If I should lose you, I couldn't stand the pain
The gates are open, we're so close
Love is almost ours to hold
A few more steps and we'll be there, if you care
We'll make it together, it's easier that way
With two falling deeper love will soon be ours to stay
[Chorus]
The lyrics of Larry & Mike's song We Fell In Love express the urgency and anxiety of the singers' desire to make their love a permanent one. The song seems to be focused on the fear of losing the person they love and the pain that would bring. The first stanza alludes to this fear, indicating that they have to make their love work before it's too late; before they lose the person they love. The next stanza acknowledges the difficulties and tragedies that come with finding love, and the pain of unrequited love. But the singer is determined not to cry over someone who doesn't love them, and therefore wants to ensure that they don't end up in that position. The chorus reiterates this desire to make the relationship work before it's too late, with the added emphasis on the pain of losing the person they love.
The third stanza seems to indicate that they are already on the path to love, and that they are close to finally achieving it. The image of open gates and being so close to love conveys hope and optimism. The singer is hopeful that the person they love will reciprocate their feelings as he says, "if you care", and together they can make it work. The last line of the stanza is very telling, "With two falling deeper love will soon be ours to stay", which shows that love is not something that can be forced but will happen naturally when two people fall in love.
Overall, the song expresses the fear of losing the person they love and the pain that would come with it. It also conveys the urgency and determination to make the relationship work and the hope that the person they love will reciprocate their feelings.
