Cannonball Lyrics
Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on
Still a little bit of your ghost, your witness
Still a little bit of your face i haven't kissed
You step a little closer to me
so close i can't say, what's going on
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball
Still a little bit of your song in my ear
Still a little bit of your words i long to hear
You step a little closer each day
So close that i can't say what's going on
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon
Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage!
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And i don't want to scare him
It's not hard to fall
And i don't want to lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on
Still a little bit of your face i haven't kissed
You step a little closer to me
so close i can't say, what's going on
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball
Still a little bit of your words i long to hear
You step a little closer each day
So close that i can't say what's going on
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage!
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And i don't want to scare him
It's not hard to fall
And i don't want to lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know

To me, I think its about how the girl is starting to fall for the guy easily. The song is a slow ballad so you know that there is deep emotion and feeling, obviously. The lyrics in the two verses about "There's still a little bit of..." mean that the guy is constantly on her mind. She can't stop thinking about him.
The lyrics "So it's not hard to fall when you've flown like a cannonball" hint to me that, when she's been hurt so many times, it's become numb to fall in love for someone? I don't really know how to explain it, but that's just what I get from the lyrics.
I think that this song is about a girl who's trying to get over this boy that she either dated or wants to date and couldn't. The problem is this boy keeps coming back and it's hurting her, but she can't say goodbye either.
