Luke Christopher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All my feelings in tact, I knew she wasn't sold
Think I'm obsessive romantic, she ain't been to a show
Better that way, she say, "why?", I spit the perfect replies
She say to spare me the lines
Thought that I could just buy you when I spend the time
And now I'm stuck with my pride hurt, left me on my high horse
And I told you that I'd try more to give you what you need
I'm saying, baby, your doorstep's looking hella crazy
There's flowers everywhere, girl
You said, "I don't know you at all"
Weekends in the mountains, in the mountains
Picnics under rainbows and rainbows
Kissing under waterfalls, that's not love
The flowers ain't working, when you gonna show up?
Throwing pennies in the fountain, the fountain
Lying on my payroll, my payroll
Kissing under waterfalls, waterfalls
That's not love
Love is you and me, babe
I took a break
Now I know it's not for sure
Yeah, known for a fact
Yeah, I know it's not for sure (love is you and me, babe)
Yeah, I took a break
I know love is not a show
Yeah, I took a break, I don't rush
Yeah, just once a month I could put you first
Baby, your sadness in Louis caskets, shit never works
First class to Paris, it's just you and the wine
Told you, I would be there, couldn't find you the time
I told myself that I gave you my all
I wasn't there when you needed me most
So I give you things, thought I filled that space
I thought that we were great
I'm saying, "baby, your doorstep's looking hella crazy"
There's flowers everywhere, girl
You said, "I don't know you at all"
Weekends in the mountains, in the mountains
Picnics under rainbows and rainbows
Kissing under waterfalls, that's not love
The flowers ain't working, when you gonna show up?
Throwing pennies in the fountain, the fountain
Lying on my payroll, my payroll
Kissing under waterfalls, waterfalls
That's not love
Love is you and me, babe
I took a break
Now I know it's not for sure
Yeah, known for a fact
Yeah, I know it's not for sure (love is you and me, babe)
Yeah, I took a break
I know love is not a show
Yeah, I took a break, I don't rush
All the moments that I had, yeah
Were the days something new ain't never happened
Yeah, I don't know why I do what I do, but I'm sorry
I'm sorry, I really am this time
Luke Christopher's song "Waterfalls" showcases a story of a man who has tried everything to win a woman's heart, except being present for her. The man expresses that he believed filling her life with material things would make up for his lack of presence, but he now realizes that love is being there for her. Though he has been constantly giving her flowers and planning extravagant dates in picturesque settings, the woman is still reluctant to allow him in, stating that she does not know him at all. He comes to the realization that it is not love if he has to try so hard to win her over and that true love is about being present and sensitive to the woman's needs. The chorus of the song emphasizes the differences between the grand gestures he has been making and what love truly means, which is simply having him and her together.
The song's lyrics are relatable and showcase the harsh reality of relationships where one partner may feel neglected or unappreciated. "Waterfalls" is not only an ode to women but also speaks about the importance of being there for those who we care about.
Line by Line Meaning
Yeah, last night I told
I opened up to her about my feelings
All my feelings in tact, I knew she wasn't sold
I expressed myself honestly, but I knew she wasn't convinced
Think I'm obsessive romantic, she ain't been to a show
She sees me as overly romantic and hasn't been to see me perform
Better that way, she say, "why?", I spit the perfect replies
She thinks it's better if we keep things casual, and I give her great responses as to why
She say to spare me the lines
She doesn't want to hear my typical romantic lines
Thought that I could just buy you when I spend the time
I thought I could win her over with lavish gifts as long as I spend time with her
And now I'm stuck with my pride hurt, left me on my high horse
I'm feeling embarrassed and egotistical now that she's rejected me
And I told you that I'd try more to give you what you need
I promised to do better to meet her needs
Baby, your doorstep's looking hella crazy
I've gone overboard with romantic gestures
There's flowers everywhere, girl
I've littered her doorstep with flowers
You said, "I don't know you at all"
She feels like she doesn't truly know me
Weekends in the mountains, in the mountains
I've planned romantic getaways to the mountains
Picnics under rainbows and rainbows
I've lined up picnics where we can see rainbows
Kissing under waterfalls, that's not love
I've gone over the top with romantic settings, but it doesn't equate to true love
The flowers ain't working, when you gonna show up?
My efforts to win her over with flowers and romantic settings aren't working, and I want her to reciprocate
Throwing pennies in the fountain, the fountain
I've taken her to throw coins in fountains, hoping for good fortune in our relationship
Lying on my payroll, my payroll
I've paid for everything in our dates and trips
Kissing under waterfalls, waterfalls
I've set up another romantic scene under a waterfall
That's not love
But all of these grand gestures don't mean true love
Love is you and me, babe
Real love is just us being together
I took a break
I stepped back to evaluate my approach
Now I know it's not for sure
I now realize it's not a sure thing to win her over
Yeah, known for a fact
I'm certain now
Yeah, I know it's not for sure (love is you and me, babe)
I'm aware now that true love isn't about grand gestures, it's just about being together
Yeah, I took a break
I needed a break from my approach
I know love is not a show
I've realized love isn't just about putting on a show
Yeah, I took a break, I don't rush
I'm taking my time and not rushing things
All the moments that I had, yeah
I'm reflecting on our time together
Were the days something new ain't never happened
We didn't experience any new things together
Yeah, I don't know why I do what I do, but I'm sorry
I don't understand why I went overboard with my romantic gestures, but I'm apologizing for it
I'm sorry, I really am this time
I'm genuinely sorry for how I acted and how it made her feel

All my feelings in tact, I know she wasn’t sold
Think I’m obsessive romantic, she ain’t been to a show
Better that way, she say, "Why?"
