When I Fall in Love
Mateo Oxley Lyrics

Mateo Oxley's song, "When I Fall in Love," is a beautiful composition that is both hopeful and skeptical. The beginning lyrics read, "When I fall in love, It will be forever, Or I'll never fall in love." These lines are powerful because they express the artist's steadfast commitment to love. Rather than playing the field, Oxley emphasizes the genuineness of love and a deep connection. Furthermore, the lyrics, "In a restless world like this is, Love is ended before it's begun," illustrates how our world, with its rapidity and obsession with instant gratification, can often disrupt and curtail new love.

Continuing, "And too many moonlight kisses, Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun." This line indicates that in a world of novelty and impermanence, no amount of fleeting moments can sustain enduring commitment. Oxley seems to be aware of the temporary nature of life and how it often cuts at love's permanence. However, as the song progresses, he iterates, "When I give my heart, It will be completely, Or I'll never give my heart." These lyrics indicate that when he finally gives his heart, he will do so entirely and without hesitation. Finally, he expresses his desire for reciprocity in love by concluding, "And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too, Is when I fall in love with you." This line emphasizes the crucial aspect of mutual affection, and how honest and true love requires an equal commitment from both partners.
