Falling
Rhodes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I would like to get to know you
Sit awhile and talk
Ask you anything I want to
Did you have a dog?
Tell me all about your father
Does he treat you right?
Do you look just like your momma?
Do you ever fight?

I am falling for you darling
Chances are you're falling too
You are stalling, beg your pardon
Can't you see that I want you?
Sometimes people fit together
As the movies say
We make sense like bread and butter
Sun and summer days
I am falling for you darling
Chances are you're falling too
You are stalling, beg your pardon
Can't you see that I want you?
Oh, we could be happy in dark times
I know we could be happy

Oh, we could be happy in dark times
I know we could be happy

Overall Meaning

Rhodes's "Falling" is a melancholic, introspective song about the perils of falling in love too quickly and recklessly. The opening lines 'Falling in love with love is falling for make-believe / Falling in love with love is playing the fool' suggest that love can be a dangerous game, where we risk getting hurt by investing in something that may not be real or lasting. The next lines 'Caring too much is such a juvenile fancy / Learning to trust is just for children in school' further suggest that our emotions can fool us when it comes to love - we may become too infatuated, too trusting, or too naive in our relationships.

The second verse of the song is more personal. The singer explains how they fell in love with love itself - a metaphor for the idea of love, rather than a specific romantic partner. 'I fell in love with love one night when the moon was full / I was unwise with eyes unable to see / I fell in love with love, with love everlasting / But love fell out with me' suggests that the singer was swept away by the romance and passion of love, but that their feelings were not reciprocated. The repetition of the phrase 'I fell in love with love' emphasizes how the singer had invested in the idea of love itself, rather than a tangible relationship.

Overall, Rhodes's "Falling" is a poignant reminder of the dangers of allowing ourselves to be consumed by love, without being cautious and realistic about our expectations. The song's slow, mournful melody and Rhodes's emotive vocals reinforce the sense of sadness and regret that underpins the lyrics.
