If I Fall Lyrics

i like to look for a romantic meaning to all songs but i do think i'd be correct here. i think it's about a strong love where someone has never been loved before. they always thought they had been but it was toxic and they never realised until they met this person. they feel vulnerable, happy and understood but in a way that makes them fear it all. i think this is a person trying to express how they feel for the first time but still wary of being hurt again.

'seems to me, i'm exactly where i dreamed i would be' says the most to me. i think it's signifying that it was always something they wanted but in their head would never happen to them for whatever reason makes them insecure.

similarly, 'never saw it coming' 'i don't know where to turn' represents how they never believed this kind of experience to actually exist and now they want to talk to someone else about it but don't trust anyone but the person they are singing about. being in love can feel very alone to someone holding deep trauma and i think this is what the writer is experiencing.

beautiful song that has been stuck in my head at the moment and has guided me through a lot.
