Fall In Love Lyrics

Ease your lips into a velvet kiss while I enfold you

Move your hands across this promised land

The seekers guided by the pole star

Say the words

Why don’t you say the words

I have been waiting long to hear

Please fall in love with me

Drift with me upon an endless sea

We are divine in the realm of these senses

Every move has been a subterfuge

While we pretend that we really don’t care

Moved by fear we might be strangers here

But I can feel we might be one

Please fall in love with me

I hear the sound of moons falling

Surrender to this charm

I breeze across your soul darling

Deep eternity

Lost your mind

Well don’t you think it’s time

To swim away from the safety of these beaches

Trust the tides, they know which way to flow

And don’t you long to flow so far

Moved by waves we’ve never felt before

Till we are floating way out deep

Please fall in love with me

Please

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Thank you for posting this song up! It's one of the greatest love songs I've ever heard. To me, this song seems like someone secretly confessing his love to a friend, yearning for more. Beautifully written. In the first part, Booth is sort of murcurial, expressing in metaphor that goal he has in mind- "Say those words..." brings the first three verses together with the plead: "Fall in love with me." My favorite line is "Every move has been a subterfuge, while we pretend that we really don't care." I think everyone has come across a friendship where motives were carefully reigned by denial, or from fear of losing the friend. And Booth knows what's at stake but pleads for risking what we all ultimately wish for, a second half.
Beautiful song. I wish more people contributed their thoughts on this one.
