The Next Time I Fall
Peter Cetera & Amy Grant Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love like a road that never ends
How it leads me back again
To heartache
I'll never understand
Darling I put my heart up on a shelf
'Til the moment was right and I tell myself

Next time I fall in love

I'll know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
Ooh ooh ooh
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
It will be with you

Oh, now as I look into your eyes
Well I wonder if it's wise
To hold you
Like I've wanted to before
Tonight, ooh I was thinking that you might
Be the one who breathes life in this heart of mine

Next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
Ooh ooh ooh
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
It will be with you

Next time I'm gonna follow through
And if it drives me crazy
I will know better why
The next time I try

Next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
Ooh ooh ooh
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
It will be with you

Next time I fall in love (next time I fall)
Oh oh oh
Next time I fall in love
Ooh ooh ooh
The next time I fall in love

The next time I fall in love
It will be with you

Overall Meaning

The song “The Next Time I Fall” is about the singer’s past experiences with love and heartbreak and how they are preparing themselves better for the next time they fall in love. The lyrics describe love as a never-ending road that leads back to heartache, a sentiment that many people can relate to. The singer acknowledges their past mistakes and regrets, wishing they had known better, and vows to do things differently in their next relationship. They put their heart on a shelf, waiting for the right moment to love again.

The chorus is a declaration of love for someone specific - the person they will fall in love with the next time. The singer is unsure if it’s wise to hold this person close but can’t help the feelings that they have. The final verse reveals that the singer is willing to follow through on their feelings, even if it drives them crazy. They are willing to take the risk for that person.

Overall, the song is a hopeful and optimistic look towards the future, with a focus on personal growth and learning from past mistakes.

Line by Line Meaning

Love like a road that never ends
Love is like a never-ending journey

How it leads me back again
Love brings me back to heartache again and again

To heartache
To the pain caused by love

I'll never understand
It's difficult for me to comprehend why love brings pain

Darling I put my heart up on a shelf
I kept my heart guarded and safe from the pain of love

'Til the moment was right and I tell myself
Until I found the right person, I convinced myself to wait for love

Next time I fall in love
Next time I experience love

I'll know better what to do
I will have learned from my past love experiences and know how to handle them better

It will be with you
I will fall in love with you the next time I experience love

Well I wonder if it's wise
I question whether it's a good idea to hold onto my feelings for you

To hold you
To show my love and affection for you

Like I've wanted to before
Like I have been secretly desiring to do in the past

Tonight, ooh I was thinking that you might
Tonight, I was considering that you might be the one I fall in love with

Be the one who breathes life in this heart of mine
Be the one who brings me joy, happiness, and love

Next time I'm gonna follow through
Next time, I will take action and pursue love, rather than holding back

And if it drives me crazy
Even if it makes me emotional or irrational

I will know better why
I will understand the reasons behind my emotions and actions

Next time I try
Next time I lean into love and give it a chance

Oh oh oh
Vocal inflection

Next time I fall in love
The next time I experience love

Ooh ooh ooh
Vocal inflection

The next time I fall in love
The next time I experience love

It will be with you
I will fall in love with you the next time I experience love

His Chicago days were where it started. I read somewhere he started there as a drummer or percussionist, and his vocal ability was only discovered later. Unbelievable with such a voice. But he's not just all about balads. Chicago's music was often jazzy/funky. I'd recommend a less well known, but personal favorite track by the band, namely "Woman don't want to love me" to experience the other side..

There will never be another decade like the 80s. Best time of my life. I was in my teens to very early 20s. I lived a 1/4 mile away from Six Flags in Arlington Texas with a season pass every year. I raced dirt bikes, learned how to play guitar, wore the parachute pants with concert t-shirts and had the time of my life. I can remember when this song came out in 86. Having the 80s music to listen to was just the icing on the cake! The music after the 80s, it started rolling down hill fast and in a bad way. Seem like it all got stupid. I would give everything I own to go back and enjoy those times I had back then again. Good times 😉👍
