Falling In Love
Lisa Loeb Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She was shootin' 'em down
She was tramping around.
He walked in crooked with the clear blue eyes.
"There's a nice pool at my motel you want to go for a swim?"
That night he moved in.
The time between meeting and finally leaving is
Sometimes called falling in love.
Sometimes called falling in love.
At night she'd wait for the sound of his feet on the doormat,
The sound of his hand on the doorknob,
The sound of her heart beating in her head.
He'd go out playing nickel slots, cause he knew he'd lose -
She didn't know, so she couldn't choose.
One night while sleeping along in her bed,
The phone rang, she woke up, and sat up and said,
"What time is it? What time is it?"
"Well, it's 5:30 here and it's 2:30 there,
And I won't be home tonight," he said.
The time between meeting and finally leaving is
Sometimes called falling in love.
The time between meeting and finally leaving is
Sometimes called falling in love.
Now she sits in a booth in a diner,
Waiting for someone to take her order,
Waiting for someone to come and sit down.
She rubs the smudge off the photograph, puts it back into her purse.
The grey sky was romantic cause he was holding her hand,
He was her man.
The time between meeting and finally leaving is
Sometimes called falling in love.
The time between meeting and finally leaving is
Sometimes calling falling in love.
Sometimes called falling in love.
She wanted to be a cowboy,
She was shootin' 'em down,
She was tramping around
The song Falling in Love by Lisa Loeb narrates a story about a woman who was searching for love and finds it in a cowboy that she meets in a motel. The woman, who wanted to be a cowboy and was shooting "em down, and tramping around, was finally offered love when she met with this cowboy. The cowboy walks in crooked with clear blue eyes, and the woman falls for him. The song teaches us that love is not just about meeting someone, but the duration between meeting someone and finally leaving them, which is sometimes referred to as falling in love.
The woman eagerly waits for him to come home, holding onto the sound of his feet on the doormat, the sound of his hand on the doorknob, and the sound of her heart beating in her head. However, she later finds out that his love was not meant to last, and he had to leave her. She sits in a diner, waiting for someone to take her order and come to sit down with her. The grey sky reminds her of falling in love, but it is disappointing that it didn't bring her a lasting relationship.
