I Will Fall
The Cast of Nashville Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm in heaven on solid ground
It makes my world spin round and round
I'm inside out, I'm upside down
Every time I fall in love

I lose my keys, I lose my cool
I never learn, it's like I'm back in school
I end up breaking all my rules

Every time I fall in love

I've been here before
I'll be here again
I tell myself there's no one else
And then

I'm flying high with the birds and bees
But then they get the best of me
How come it feels like it's meant to be
Every time I fall in love

I've been here before
I'll be here again
I tell myself there's no one else
And then

I'm by the phone waiting for his call
Best looking thing that you ever saw
All dressed up for the wrecking ball

Every time I fall in love
Every time I fall in love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "I Will Fall" by the cast of Nashville explores the complex emotions and feelings that arise when someone falls in love. The opening lines of the song, "I'm in heaven on solid ground, it makes my world spin round and round" suggest the euphoric feeling that accompanies falling in love. However, the song also acknowledges the disorienting and chaotic experience that occurs as a result of giving oneself over to love, as the lines "I'm inside out, I'm upside down, every time I fall in love" suggest. The chorus then reinforces the idea that falling in love causes one to lose control and surrender to the experience, as they "lose my keys, [their] cool," and end up breaking their own rules.

Furthermore, the song acknowledges that falling in love is not a new experience for the artist, as the lines "I've been here before, I'll be here again" suggest. However, despite this understanding, the artist still cannot resist the temptation to give themselves over to their feelings in each new relationship. The bridge of the song then explores the push and pull that occurs when someone falls in love, as they "fly high with the birds and bees," but ultimately get "the best of" them.

Overall, "I Will Fall" by the cast of Nashville offers an introspective and reflective take on the experience of falling in love, exploring both the euphoric and disorienting emotions that accompany it.

It makes my world spin round and round
My happiness and excitement create a dizzying effect

I'm inside out, I'm upside down

Every time I fall in love
I know that this intense emotional rollercoaster will happen again in the future
