Fallin' For You by Colbie Caillat

So I heard this song when driving with my mom to tour colleges in Ohio. My mom, knowing about my Stewart situation, heard the first part of the lyrics and said, "This is your song!". I blushed and listened as I stared out the window. It is my song. I am excited about this potential relationship, especially as people start to further encourage me (I need to stop telling people so that I don't get too hopeful). But at the same time, I am planning to wait to completely go after Stewart until I "know him better" (and have things better settled with Jacob - more about that later). I am also "hiding" as much as my personality allows me to do. Stewart and my conversations are on hold until we meet face to face.

I guess I enjoy this song particularly because of its apt description of the period between a connection and a potential relationship. The sparks have already been exchanged but there's no telling whether they will remain or fade during this period of uncertainty. Everyone not in this situation always says that this is the most fun time, handling the unknown. However, it's sort of stressful. You don't know what to daydream about because you don't want to let yourself get too carried away. You don't know how to act and how much to put out. And you tend to view things incorrectly or at least juggle a bunch of faulty interpretations as racing hormones dull perception.

I'm going to keep this blog short because the song speaks for itself. For Stewart out there - yes I am "fallin' for you." Perhaps (definitely) I already have.

Lyrics to "Fallin' For You" :

I don't know but
I think I maybe
Fallin' for you
Dropping so quickly
Maybe I should
Keep this to myself
Waiting 'til I
Know you better

I am trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of
Holding this inside my head

I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know where to
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
And now I found ya
I don't know where to
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you

As I'm standing here
And you hold my hand
Pull me towards you
And we start to dance
All around us
I see nobody
Here in silence
It's just you and me

I'm trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of
Holding this inside my head

I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know where to
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don't know where to
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you

Oh I just can't take it
My heart is racing
The emotions keep spinning out

I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know where to
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don't know where to
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you
I think I'm fallin' for you

I can't stop thinking about it
I want you all around me
And now I just can't hide it
I think I'm fallin' for you (x2)

I'm fallin' for you

Ooohhh
Oh no no
Oooooohhh
Oh I'm fallin' for you
