I Could Fall

Lyrics
Hold on gotta catch my breath, you take it every time I see you
Feeling breathless because the person takes away the speaker's breath every time they see them.
Been watchin' every word I've said, gotta watch the things I do
The speaker is cautious about their words and actions around the person they're interested in.
Don't wanna get too far ahead, don't wanna kill what's badly breathing
They don't want to rush ahead too quickly and potentially ruin a budding relationship.
Keep the dream inside my head, inside my head
The speaker holds onto a dream of being with this person.
Cuz I could fall in love with you if I wanted to

But I'm takin' it slower than I want to not so fast

Cuz I could fall in love with you if I wanted to

But I'm takin' it slower than I want too

Stand still let me take you in I wanna tell you what I'm seekin
