Fall At Your Feet

To me it's a song about being willing to hang around and wait for the person you love to come to love you, even though there's a chance they never will.

'I'm really close tonight And I feel like I'm moving inside her Lying in the dark I think that I'm beginning to know her Let it go I'll be there when you call' He feels that he knows this person more than anyone else does or ever will, and he's lying in the dark thinking about her. 'I feel like I'm moving inside her' could mean that he knows her well enough to see things from her perpective, to live her life alongside her with the insight he has. There's also the obvious sexual connotations, of course.

'Go, I'll be waiting when you call'- she has other relationships, she's away from him, but he's going to stick around anyway, just on the offchance.

And I'm more than willing to offer myself Do you want my presence or need my help Who knows where that might lead

I think that these are the central lines to this song- the point at which the other images all come together and he establishes his point. They're certainly my favourite lines anyway. I think the song's about him being in love with someone who may or may not return his feelings, but either way I get the feeling they're not together. But anyway, he worships her and falls at her feet every time she calls to him, and pride isn't even an issue. Possibly my favourite song ever.

my god, in my filthy teenage mind, i first thought it was about having sex with someone that you loved, actually really loved. upon actually looking at the lyrics, i can see that maybe his girlfriend/wife has distanced herself from him, for whatever reason, but he's still there for her, if she needs

this is such a sad song about a man and a woman not ready to commit but confused as to where each of them stands

Seems to be a curve ball idea but I'm surprised there's only one other comment related to pregnancy. This is definitely a song from a child's perspective to it's mother. Possibly even about a premature termination such as a miscarriage.

This really is a briljant song which i have listened to over and over again. I think its about a man trying to comfort a woman (cause her man cheated on her, she is in pain). And then "the finger of blame has turned upon itself". They make the same mistake. Briljant.

Two responses to such a brilliant song, Neil Finn is in my opinion the geatest songwriter of our time, and this is his finest.

Again, a great song with so few responses. I think it's about a man comforting a woman. I feel like ' The finger of blame has turned upon itself' is about her blaming herself. This song makes me think about how my man's always been there for me.

I think this is about a single man in a relationship with a married woman. He's trying to talk himself out of loving her, but can't help himself falling at her feet.

She cries with him because she doesn't know what to do, and is in love with both him and her husband. The finger of blame is her feeling terrible guilt about hurting him and betraying her husband.

The second verse is about her pulling away from him, maybe to try and fix her marriage. But he knows she'll be back in touch and he'll wait for her. It's very very depressing!

Actually, I've changed my mind! I think the 'finger of blame' line is him saying he blames himself for being the cause of her anguish, where previously he blamed her for hurting him. He loves her so much he will 'offer' himself in any way way she wants him.

Omg you guys have it all wrong. I am surprised none of you have gotten it yet.

This is about his mum and i am not joking.

Listen and read the lyrics.

It is about giving birth. And meeting his mother for the first time.

Im really close tonight... Shes about to give birth

And i feel like im moving inside her

Lying in the dark, and i feel like im beginning to know her...

Let it go... Ill be there when she calls.

And whenever i fall at your feet.... You let your tears rain down on me....
