Fall in Love
Miguel Atwood-Ferguson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard, for love to ever last
My heart should be well schooled, 'cause I've been fooled in the past
And still I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast

I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast
I fall in love too terribly hard, for love to ever last
My heart should be well schooled, 'cause I've been fooled in the past
And still I fall in love too easily, I fall in love too fast





Overall Meaning

These lyrics express a common struggle for many people - the tendency to fall in love too easily and too quickly, even though it often leads to heartbreak. The first two lines repeat this sentiment twice, emphasizing the singer's tendency to fall hard and fast. The next line, "I fall in love too terribly hard, for love to ever last," suggests that the singer's intensity may be part of the reason why their love never lasts. They may invest too much too soon, scaring off potential partners or expecting too much too soon.


The final line, "My heart should be well-schooled, 'cause I've been fooled in the past," highlights the irony of the situation. The singer has been hurt before, but still can't seem to help falling in love too quickly. They recognize that they need to learn from past mistakes and be more cautious with their heart, but as the song's title suggests, this is easier said than done. In the end, the repetition of the chorus reinforces the notion that falling in love too easily and too fast is a pattern that may be difficult to break.
