Fallen
Unspoken Love in a Falling Heart: Emily West's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
Sometimes he does it
Sometimes he engages in certain actions
He don't even know.
He is unaware or oblivious while doing so
That's when he catches me off guard.
His actions catch me off guard or surprise me
He puts his jacket on, and he says we've gotta go,
He puts on his jacket, signaling the need to leave
Fallin' fallin' fallin' heart.
Repeated emphasis on the emotional descent, using "fallin' heart"
Come to listen birds on his shoulder
He carries the burden or responsibility like birds on his shoulder
I love the way he moves the arm
Appreciation for his physical movements, especially his arm
What it would really be like
Contemplating what life would be like when he ages
When he would be older,
Repeated emphasis on the emotional descent, using "fallin' heart"
A fallin' fallin' fallin' heart
Reiteration of the emotional descent, possibly indicating vulnerability
He brings the violets and the daffodils
He brings flowers (violets and daffodils)
He stole 'em from some else's yard.
He took them without permission, possibly hinting at a rebellious or risky nature
He smiles at me, and you know it kinda of kills
His smile affects the speaker emotionally, even though it is painful
He's always breaking my heart.
His actions consistently cause emotional pain or heartbreak
How many kitchen lonely cleaned up the place
Reflecting on the loneliness of cleaning the kitchen
Is he drinking at bars?
Wondering if he drinks at bars, suggesting concerns about his habits
Oh, my friends all asked me how
Friends inquire about the bruises on the speaker's face
I got these bruses on my face?
The speaker attributes the bruises to the emotional descent or falling in love
I said it's from fallin' fallin' fallin' heart
Repeated emphasis on the emotional descent, using "fallin' heart"
Umm, from fallin' fallin' fallin' heart
-Uuu, from fallin' fallin' fallin' heart.
