At its core, Whitaker is formed by the dedicated talents of Ryan Meeking, Brett Scapin and Simon Rabl - musicians raised by Melbourne’s vibrant music scene.

Fall In Love
Whitaker Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yesterday you came my way,
And when you smiled at me,
In my heart I felt a thrill you see,
That it was love at sight and
I was right to love you as I do.
Still I never dreamed that you could love me too.

Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,

I never knew what they could do.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.

I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,
To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

Skies are gray. I'm blue each day
When you are not around.
Ev'ry thing goes wrong, my dear I've found
But when you're by my side I fill with pride
For I'm so proud of you
It all seems too good to me to all be true

Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
I never knew what they could do.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

You're telling ev'ry one I know
I'm on your mind each place we go
They can't believe that you're in love with me.

I have always placed you far above me.
I just can't imagine that you love me.
And after all is said and done,

To think that I'm the lucky one.
I can't believe that you're in love with me.

Line by Line Meaning

Yesterday you came my way,
I remember the day you came into my life,

And when you smiled at me,
Every time I see you smile, my heart skips a beat,

In my heart I felt a thrill you see,
I felt a spark of happiness within me,

That it was love at sight and
I knew right then and there that I was in love,

I was right to love you as I do.
And it's not wrong to love you as much as I do,

Still I never dreamed that you could love me too.
But I never thought that you would love me back,

Your eyes of blue, your kisses too,
Your blue eyes and sweet kisses are magical to me,

I never knew what they could do.
I never knew they could make me feel so in love,

You're telling ev'ry one I know
You're telling everyone in our lives,

I'm on your mind each place we go
That I occupy your thoughts everywhere we go,

They can't believe that you're in love with me.
And everyone is surprised that you love me,

I have always placed you far above me.
I've always felt that you're too good for me,

I just can't imagine that you love me.
And it's hard to believe that you actually love me,

And after all is said and done,
Even with all that's happened between us,

To think that I'm the lucky one.
I still can't believe that I'm the lucky one,

Skies are gray. I'm blue each day
When you're not around, my world feels dull and gray,

When you are not around.
And I miss you when you're not with me,

Ev'ry thing goes wrong, my dear I've found
And it seems like everything is wrong without you,

But when you're by my side I fill with pride
But when you're with me, I feel happy and proud,

For I'm so proud of you
Because I'm so proud of who you are,

It all seems too good to me to all be true
But sometimes it feels like it's all too good to be true,
