Afraid To Fall
Tayla Parx Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We need to talk

Are we in love yet? Are we still makin' our minds up?
Either way it's fine, but I'm tryna read the signs
Is it love yet? Since we started pickin' favorites
Things got complicated, I'll be the one to say it
Is it love yet? I'm sure it don't take this long
Or maybe we took too long to ask the right questions
Is it love yet? Or two hearts on vacation?
Far too hard, impatient, too tired of waiting

'Cause I wanna call you mine, by now, by now
You should want to call me yours, by now, by now
If that ain't love then what is it? 'Bout to make some difference
I wanna call you mine, by now, by now

'Cause some people only find
One in a whole lifetime
The rest are just too afraid to fall, or makin' up their minds
So I figured I would take
The straightforward way this time
And tell you I'm not afraid to fall, or call somebody mine





(Mine, mine
Mind, mind)
