Fall For You
Talk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time you're close to me
Bite my lip until it bleeds
Can't drop the feeling, floor on the ceiling
Why am I afraid to cut my teeth?
'Cause every time you look at me

I fall (fall), fall (fall)
For you
I fall (fall), fall
Until I bruise
Fall like a prayer down to my knees
Fall asleep with you next to me
I fall (fall), fall (fall)
For you

If on the other side I break
I pray the Lord my soul to take
The fantasies of you are never enough
Cut the parachute, I'm ready to jump

I (I) fall (fall), fall (fall)
For you
I fall (fall), fall
Until I bruise
Fall like a prayer down to my knees
Fall asleep with you next to me
I fall (fall), fall (fall)
For you

Fall, fall
For you
I fall, fall
Until I bruise

I fall (fall), fall (fall)
For you (are never enough)
I fall (fall), fall
Until I bruise (I'm ready to jump)
Fall like a prayer down to my knees
Fall asleep with you next to me
I fall (fall), fall (fall)
For you
I fall (fall), fall (fall)
For you




I fall (fall), fall (fall)
For you

If there's one thing that I learned during my career in radio is that this particular song (just like Runaway to Mars) has HUGE potential for cross over spins...Alternative, AC/HotAC formats and more!....the hook, the guitar riff, the lyrics, the drums and your talented voices... together, they pull you in and make you want to move, dance, sing and smile! I imagine that a stripped acoustic version might bring me to tears. In my humble but honest opinion, this song is going to skyrocket across the sound waves and multiply your already loyal fan base by many (many many many) thousands ❥

@TheFielas

Here we go again.... Another one of your songs that will be on repeat forever!!! Love the song man. Keep it up!!!!!!!
