Fallin'
Embracing the Fall: Shane Devine's Anthem of Resilience
Lyrics
You had to break your neck to say
You had to endure difficulty or strain to express yourself
But Darling that's okay
Addressing the person affectionately, acknowledging their struggles
You had to say what ya needed to say
You needed to speak your mind despite challenges
'Cos everybody was on your case
Due to external pressure, everyone was scrutinizing your actions
And I don't wanna waste your time
I don't want to waste your time
But I don't wanna wait in line, tonight
Not wanting to wait in line, implying a desire for immediate connection
Fallin'
Expressing the act of falling or experiencing a romantic attraction
Every day now
This feeling occurs every day
She says you gotta
A suggestion to endure challenges
Hold on
Hold on to your beliefs and values
To what ya believe in
Encouragement to stick to one's convictions
Take it
Take things slowly and without stress
Easy
An additional suggestion to handle situations with ease
You got my number, so let it
Providing contact information, allowing communication
Be
Let it be, allowing things to unfold naturally
If you want
Reiteration of the option to choose freely
If you want
-You had to sink so you could swim
Facing challenges (sink) to later enjoy success (swim)
You hate to lose but you love to win
Disliking failure but enjoying the feeling of winning
I saw your sister in the Thirsty Goat
Observation of the person's sister at a specific location
But she didn't see me, through the cigarette smoke
She didn't notice the observer due to environmental conditions
And I don't wanna fool you round
Not wanting to deceive or mislead
But I don't wanna stay in town, tonight
Unwillingness to stay in the current situation or place
Fallin'
Repetition of earlier sentiments about falling, holding on, and taking it easy
Every day now
-She says you gotta
-Hold on
-To what ya believe in
-Take it
-Easy
-You got my number, so let it
-Be
-If you want
-If you want
-Fallin'
-Every day now
-She says you gotta
-Hold on
-To what ya believe in
-Take it
-Easy
-You got my number, so let it
-Be
-If you want
Reiteration of the option for the other person to choose freely
If you want
