When I Fall In Love
Lisa Lovbrand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or I'll never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before it's begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun
When I give my heart it will be completely
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.
The lyrics of Lisa Lovbrand's "When I Fall In Love" speak of the singer's apprehension towards love, but also her unwavering desire for it to be everlasting. The song talks about how in a restless world like ours, love sometimes ends before it even begins. The uncertainty and transience of love is further highlighted in the line "too many moonlight kisses seem to cool in the warmth of the sun". This paints a picture of how the passion and romance of a new relationship suddenly loses its fervor when exposed to the harsh realities of the world.
However, despite this fear and uncertainty, the singer firmly believes that when she falls in love, it will be for keeps. She has a steadfast commitment to love, as evidenced in the line, "When I give my heart it will be completely, or I'll never give my heart". For the singer, love is not something to be entered into lightly or half-heartedly. She wants to fully experience the joy and beauty of love, but only if it's reciprocated. The last line reveals the condition for her love, "the moment I can feel that you feel that way too is when I fall in love with you". For the singer, love is a two-way street, and she only wants to give herself fully if her affections are returned.
