don't trip
Falling for You: Benjamin Freedman's Melodic Love Tale
Lyrics
It don't faze me none
Expressing indifference or resilience, unaffected by a situation.
When you lean your head on my shoulder
Describing a physical closeness, someone resting their head on the speaker's shoulder.
And my mind never runs
Claiming that the speaker's thoughts are not preoccupied or disturbed.
Around you, no, it's totally polar
Highlighting a significant emotional contrast with the person in question.
I won't say a thing, 'cause it's not so
Choosing silence, possibly due to the belief that words are unnecessary.
It's not like you're kind or you're thoughtful
Asserting that the person lacks qualities like kindness or thoughtfulness.
It's not like you make my heart soft, no
Denying that the person has a profound impact on the speaker's emotions.
It's not like you're smoldering hot, so
Rejecting the idea that the person is exceptionally attractive or alluring.
(Hey, you know I'm totally kidding, right?)
Recognizing a playful tone, indicating that previous statements may be sarcastic.
It's whatever, it's whatever, it's no big thing
Downplaying the significance of the situation, suggesting it's not a major issue.
I wanna know your mind, I wanna know the way you think
Expressing a desire to understand the person's thoughts and perspective.
I'm not saying it's forever, we can take it slowly
Openness to a gradual approach in a relationship, not necessarily a commitment.
So don't trip, just fall for me
Encouraging the person not to worry or be hesitant, but to embrace feelings.
(Let's drop the act now, okay? Okay)
Acknowledging a change in tone, perhaps moving towards sincerity.
So I like you, and I'm serious, there's just no way around it
Admitting genuine feelings for the person and the impact on the speaker.
When you make me so delirious but manage to keep me grounded
Balancing intense emotions with a grounded perspective.
I'll protect you, do this bit for you, I'm the Slater to your Ryder
Expressing a commitment to protect and support the person in various situations.
And if anyone talks shit to you, I know I'll go all Street Fighter
Using a metaphor (Street Fighter) to emphasize a strong reaction to anyone mistreating the person.
I can make you mixtapes and we can listen in bed
Suggesting a romantic gesture, creating mixtapes for shared moments.
Or we can drive around and play them if you'd like that instead
Offering different ways to spend time together, indicating flexibility.
If I'm being honest, I don't really care what we do
Emphasizing that the specific activity is less important than the person's happiness.
I'm just happy if you're happy and I promise that's the truth
Promising happiness through the person's happiness, asserting sincerity.
It's whatever, it's whatever, it's no big thing
Reiterating the lack of significant importance, maintaining a casual attitude.
I wanna know your mind, I wanna know the way you think
Repeating the desire to understand the person's thoughts and perspective.
I'm not saying it's forever, we can take it slowly
Reiterating the openness to a gradual approach in a relationship.
So don't trip, just fall for me
Encouraging the person again not to worry or be hesitant, but to embrace feelings.
For me, for me
Repeating the encouragement to fall for the speaker.
For me, yeah don't trip, just fall for me
Repeating the encouragement with a focus on not tripping but falling for the speaker.
Look how you trip me up now, baby
Describing the effect the person has on the speaker, using the metaphor of tripping and falling.
I'm guessing that it's just as well
-You got me slipping up, pretty lady
-I didn't even notice I fell
-Look how you trip me up now, baby
Repeating the description of being tripped up by the person's influence.
I'm guessing that it's just as well
-You got me slipping up, pretty lady
-I didn't even notice I fell
-Yeah it's whatever, it's whatever, it's no big thing
Reiterating the lack of significant importance, maintaining a casual attitude.
I wanna know your mind, I wanna know the way you think
Repeating the desire to understand the person's thoughts and perspective.
I'm not saying it's forever, we can take it slowly
Reiterating the openness to a gradual approach in a relationship.
So don't trip, just fall for me
Encouraging the person again not to worry or be hesitant, but to embrace feelings.
For me, for me
Repeating the encouragement to fall for the speaker.
For me, yeah don't trip, just fall for me
Repeating the encouragement with a focus on not tripping but falling for the speaker.
For me, for me
Continuing to describe the effect the person has on the speaker, using the metaphor of tripping and falling.
For me, yeah don't trip, just fall for me
-For me, for me
-For me, yeah don't trip, just fall for me
