Fell In Love Without You
Motion City Soundtrack Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I waved goodbye to that heart of mine
Beating solo on your lawn
Every aching wound will cauterize and bruise
In memory of what we used to call in love
And only time will tell if violins will swell
In memory of what we used to call in love
Last night I fell in love without you
The coup-de-grace that set me off
Would've made for decent fiction
Every aching wound will cauterize and bruise
In memory of what we used to call in love
And only time will tell if violins will swell
In memory of what we used to call in love
Used to call it
Last night I fell in love without you
The stars at night aren't as big and bright
As you make them out to be
And every aching wound will cauterize and bruise
In memory of what we used to call in love
And only time will tell if violins will swell
In memory of what we used to call in love
In memory of when we used to call it love
The song "Fell in Love Without You" by Motion City Soundtrack is a reflection on a past romantic relationship. The lyrics describe a night when the singer fell in love with someone else, even though their heart still belonged to their former lover. The metaphor of "Beating solo on your lawn" suggests that their heart is left behind while they move on to someone new. The singer acknowledges the pain of the breakup, with "Every aching wound will cauterize and bruise," but is uncertain if they can ever truly move on.
The lyrics continue to question whether the memories of their past love will fade, or if they will remain, as hinted in the line "Only time will tell if violins will swell / In memory of what we used to call in love." The song ends with a somber reflection on the reality of the situation: the stars at night do not compare to the beauty the singer once saw in their former lover. Overall, the lyrics convey a bittersweet feeling of nostalgia and longing for a love that once was.
