Falling In Love
Papermoon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never knew what it means to be all by myself

Falling in love is easy
I want it, I like it hot
Falling in love is easiest thing but
Finding a true love's not

Crying 'bout love is easy
I hate it but I do it a lot
Crying 'bout love is the easiest thing but
Keeping a love is not

I'm waiting, anticipating
'Til he comes my way
The moment I see him I swear I won't leave him
'Til the love has flown away, oh baby

Falling in love is easy
I need it, I'll state my case
Falling in love is the easiest thing but
When will I find my place?
When will I find my place?

I wandered for so long but I
Just can't find what I want
Today I fall in love but
Tomorrow the feeling is gone

Falling in love is easy
But I'm a particular case
I search for the one I belong to forever
When will I find my place?




When will I find my place?
When will I find my place?
