Falling for You
Underscore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feelin like I can't cope with this life
Like my legs can't keep up at this pace and...
...and if I keep this up any longer I'm bound to fall

I'm falling for you
You had to be the one
To squeeze it tight
Well thanks for nothing at all

Feelin like I'm tired of this life
Like I try to sleep but its not alright
And if I keep this up any longer
I'm bound to fall

I'm falling for you
You had to be the one
To squeeze it tight
Well thanks for nothing at all

Falling for you
- had to be the one
To squeeze it tight
Well thanks for nothing at all

I'm bound to fall for you, for you
I'm bound to fall for you, for you

Can you feel it?
Around your throat
You're getting it right
You're getting it right
Do you remember me?
You're getting it right




You're getting it right
Do you remember me?
