Falling for You
Shaded Red Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've tried to ignore
The way you're watchin' me
I felt insecure, didn't know what to do
I've been on the ground dialin' 911
I keep fallin' for you

[Chorus]
I'm fallin' for you

I've turned around again
All my thoughts about you

You know you keep me spinnin', spinnin', and spinnin'
I keep fallin' for you
