Steve Kazee/Chistin milionti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You'll make it now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you've won
Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing it loud, oh, um, oh
Take it all
Oh, I paid the cost too late
Now it's gone
Two, three, four
The song "Falling Slowly" by Steve Kazee and Cristin Milioti is a powerful ballad about love and taking risks. The lyrics capture the feeling of being drawn to someone even when you don't know them well. The opening lines, "I don't know you, but I want you / All the more for that" express a sense of urgency and longing that sets the stage for the rest of the song. The singer goes on to describe how words often fail them when they try to express their feelings, and how they feel unable to act on their emotions.
The chorus provides a glimmer of hope, with the singer urging their lover to take charge of their own destiny and "raise your hopeful voice, you have a choice / You'll make it now." They also acknowledge the struggles the other person has faced, saying "you have suffered enough / And warred with yourself / it's time that you've won." The imagery of "falling slowly" conveys a sense of both vulnerability and inevitability, as if they are being swept away by their emotions despite their hesitation.
Overall, "Falling Slowly" is a heartfelt and emotive song that speaks to the power of love and the need to take risks in order to find happiness.
Line by Line Meaning
I don't know you
I am not acquainted with you
But I want you
I feel the inclination towards you
All the more for that
The lack of familiarity with you intensifies my desire for you
Words fall through me
Words can't seem to penetrate my emotions or thoughts
And always fool me
Words often deceive or mislead me
And I can't react
I am unable to respond in a meaningful way
And games that never amount
Efforts that are ultimately futile and unproductive
To more than they're meant
They are unable to achieve anything greater than their intended purpose
Will play themselves out
They will inevitably run their course and end
Take this sinking boat and point it home
Save me from a dire situation and direct me toward safety
We've still got time
We have not yet run out of opportunities to succeed
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
Stay positive and optimistic because you still have the power to choose your path
You'll make it now
You will finally achieve your goals and overcome obstacles
Falling slowly, eyes that know me
Gradually falling in love with someone who sees me for who I am
And I can't go back
I cannot revert to the way things used to be
Moods that take me and erase me
Emotional states that overwhelm and consume me to the point of losing myself
And I'm painted black
My outlook is dark and pessimistic
You have suffered enough
You have experienced more than your fair share of pain and hardship
And warred with yourself
You have struggled inwardly and battled your own demons
It's time that you've won
Now is the moment for you to emerge victorious
Falling slowly sing your melody
Falling deeper and deeper in love while singing a beautiful song
I'll sing it loud, oh, um, oh
I will sing with passion and conviction
Take it all
I accept all that life has to offer, including love and its challenges
Oh, I paid the cost too late
I made mistakes that had consequences I could not avoid
Now it's gone
What I had is no longer within my grasp
Two, three, four
Counting down to the end of the song

It’s crazy how you can love someone so much that your willing to let yourself go through this just for the moments that are happy.
