Fall For You
Secon Hand Serenade Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don't think that I am trying
I know you're wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again

Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I'd never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed
But I have loved you from the start
Oh

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's impossible

So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in
I'm yours to keep
And hold onto your words
'Cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight
When you're asleep

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
Over again
Don't make me change my mind
Or I won't live to see another day
I swear it's true

Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You're impossible to find

Line by Line Meaning

The best thing about tonight's that we're not fighting
We are not having any conflict, which is great

Could it be that we have been this way before
I wonder if we have experienced something similar before

I know you don't think that I am trying
You don't believe that I am making an effort

I know you're wearing thin down to the core
You are exhausted and drained to the deepest part of yourself

But hold your breath
Wait for what's coming next

Because tonight will be the night that I will fall for you
This is the night that I will fall in love with you

Over again
Once more

Don't make me change my mind
Don't cause me to doubt my feelings

Or I won't live to see another day
I won't be able to handle the disappointment

I swear it's true
I promise that it's genuine

Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It's incredibly rare to come across someone like you
