Falling for You
Student Rick Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
more than it ever has before
the road signs reading bitter end
leave me suspect of a crime
the city air chokes me today
more than it ever has before
i'm nervous to feel deserved
are you
going to
be waiting up when i get home
we'll stay up all night
getting drunk and watching sunsets on our porch
i'm falling for you
i'm falling for you
i fell for you
these empty feelings question me
of who i think i've become
my mind is ticking life away
asking if you are the one
are you
going to
be waiting up when i get home
we'll stay up all night
getting drunk and watching sunsets on our porch
i'm falling for you
i'm falling for you
i fell for you
i'm dying to explain my heart
to you now
i'm dying to explain my heart
to you now
there's so much on my mind it's tearing me apart
there's so much on my mind it's tearing me apart
i'm falling for you
i'm falling for you
i fell for you
The opening lines of the song "this drowning sorrow is shaking me" indicate a strong feeling of sadness and despair that is overwhelming the singer. This feeling is further amplified by the following lines "the road signs reading bitter end leave me suspect of a crime", whereby the singer is questioning if their actions have led them down a path of no return. The city air is suffocating, which reflects the emotional turmoil that the singer is going through, and they express a lack of trust in the familiar surroundings of their daily commute.
The chorus of the song is the central theme, where the singer confesses their strong feelings of falling in love, with lines like "i'm falling for you, i'm falling for you, i fell for you" repeating throughout. The verses surrounding the chorus depict the internal struggle that the singer is experiencing as they are trying to reconcile their feelings with a sense of detachment, as seen in lines like "these empty feelings question me of who i think i've become" and "my mind is ticking life away asking if you are the one". The last lines of the song, "i'm dying to explain my heart to you now, there's so much on my mind it's tearing me apart" indicate that the singer is willing to take a chance on love, and they want to open up and share their true feelings with the person they have fallen in love with.
