Digging a hole
And the walls are caving in,
Behind me,
Airs getting thin,
But I'm trying,
I'm breathing in,
Come find me,
It hasn't felt like this before,
It hasn't felt like home for you,
And I know it's easy to say,
But it's harder to feel this way,
I miss you more than I should,
Than I thought I could,
Can't get my mind off of you,
I know you're scared,
That I'll soon be over it,
That's part of it all,
Part of the beauty,
Of falling in love with you,
Is the fear that you won't fall,
It hasn't felt like this before,
It hasn't felt like home for you,
And I know it's easy to say,
But it's harder to feel this way,
I miss you more than I should,
Than I thought I could,
Can't get my mind off of you,
And I hate the phone,
But I wish you'd call,
Thought being alone,
Was better than,
Was better than,
And I know it's easy to say,
But it's harder to feel this way,
I miss you more than I should,
Than I thought I could,
Can't get my mind off of you,
Can't get my mind off of you,
And I know it's easy to say,
But it's harder to feel this way,
I miss you more than I should,
Than I thought I could,
Can't get my mind off of you,
And I know it's easy to say,
But it's harder to feel this way
And the walls are caving in,
Behind me,
Airs getting thin,
But I'm trying,
I'm breathing in,
Come find me,
It hasn't felt like this before,
It hasn't felt like home for you,
And I know it's easy to say,
But it's harder to feel this way,
I miss you more than I should,
Than I thought I could,
Can't get my mind off of you,
I know you're scared,
That I'll soon be over it,
That's part of it all,
Part of the beauty,
Of falling in love with you,
Is the fear that you won't fall,
It hasn't felt like this before,
It hasn't felt like home for you,
And I know it's easy to say,
But it's harder to feel this way,
I miss you more than I should,
Than I thought I could,
Can't get my mind off of you,
And I hate the phone,
But I wish you'd call,
Thought being alone,
Was better than,
Was better than,
And I know it's easy to say,
But it's harder to feel this way,
I miss you more than I should,
Than I thought I could,
Can't get my mind off of you,
Can't get my mind off of you,
And I know it's easy to say,
But it's harder to feel this way,
I miss you more than I should,
Than I thought I could,
Can't get my mind off of you,
And I know it's easy to say,
But it's harder to feel this way

That is my favorite line! I think it's true with most relationships that you haven't admitted to the other person yet.
I'm not sure if it's exactly what's going on with this guy but here's another point of veiw that maybe could be the interpretation of it: (I'll put how it relates to the song in parenthesis)
So there's this guy. We don't see each other much anymore except in these certain situations and this thing we do once a week for a kinsinyeta a mutual friend is having and we're partners (so I've been feeling trapped at school because he's not there anymore like he was last year and he brightens my day when I see him.. so this would go along with "Airs getting thin, But I'm trying, I'm breathing in, Come find me")
So recently, I've been missing him a lot and that goes along with "I miss you more than I should, more than I thought I could" because I'm trying to be just friends with him and so I shouldn't miss him this much and I didn't think I'd miss him as much as I do. and I haven't been able to get my mind off of him.
"I know you're scared,
That I'll soon be over it,
That's part of it all,
Part of the beauty,
Of falling in love with you,"
for me, this is like him saying this because I am scared that he'll be over it if he really does like me and it almost makes me feel better because it's like part of the beauty of him liking me (not love haha)
Is the fear that you won't fall,"
and lastly, "it hasn't felt like this before, it hasn't felt like home to you before." I kind of picture him saying that kind of because I used to be shy around him but now he's like a long lost kind of person that seems like "home" in a way.
sorry this is so long.. just got to typing and ended up typing out a lot more.. but thatis it :)
i think it's about a guy being reluctant to enter a relationship because he's been hurt before. He doesn't want to be hurt again, so he takes it slow and tries not to show too much interest. but then the girl leaves and, although he didn't think he would miss her, he misses her more than he should. A situation I was recently in is exactly this.
I know you're scared,
That I'll soon be over it,
That's part of it all,
Part of the beauty,
Of falling in love with you,
Is the fear that you won't fall
that's my favorite part, i think it goes along with what i think the meaning of the song is. it is him expression his thoughts on the relationship- the girl's feelings are clear to him, she loves him, but he also knows she is afraid he won't fall in love with her. But he just says it is "part of the beauty", the fear of falling is normal in a relationship, and it's okay.
I had JUST gotten out of a six year relationship, and the feelings I felt with him were so new that I didn't know if it was really love - I thought I had been in love before, so either I wasn't now, or I wasn't before.
Every word of this song resonates within me:
"Digging a hole / And the walls are caving in / Behind me / Airs getting thin / But I'm trying / I'm breathing in / Come find me.”
I’m trying to tell you all these feelings, but it feels like my lungs are about to collapse with the intensity of it all. Please see these feelings.
“It hasn't felt like this before / It hasn't felt like home for you.”
Again, these feelings are completely new to me. And we had talked about it before; he’d been waiting for “me” his whole life.
“And I know it's easy to say / But it's harder to feel this way / I miss you more than I should /
Than I thought I could / Can't get my mind off of you.”
We could just say “I love you” – it’s easy. It’s harder to MEAN it, because you actually feel it, how intense it is. You suddenly came into my life. I shouldn’t feel this way. I shouldn’t be so head over heels for you. But I am. And it’s amazing.
“I know you're scared / That I'll soon be over it / That's part of it all / Part of the beauty / Of falling in love with you / Is the fear that you won't fall.”
One of the reasons I had waited so long to tell him how I felt was of how many times he’d been hurt before. I didn’t want him to think that I too would soon be over it. But the sudden realization that THIS IS IT kicks in. It’s scary.
“And I hate the phone / But I wish you'd call / Thought being alone / Was better than / Was better than…”
That willingness to do anything just to be with this person. You’ll take anything, even a quick phone call. He’d been alone for a long time. He had “come to terms with it.” He thought that was the way it was going to be.
We changed each other’s lives. And this song reminds me of it all.
He's saying that in any relationship, whenever you put yourself out there, there's always the chance the other person won't 'fall' (in love back, that is). But that's all part of it.
I always miss her more than I should even after being apart for a few hours. We are definitely meant to be. This also reminds me of a line from "Everwood". Andy says, "If you're lucky enough to meet the right woman, and she's stupid enough to fall in love with you...you hang onto her like a son of a bitch." It's so true. She is everything to me. I love her so much...and at times I still think about the future and wonder what will happen but I just love her everyday and try my best to earn her love too. Amazing song!
Of falling in love with you,
Is the fear that you won't fall"
but i dont get what he means when he says "the fear that you wont fall"
is he saying that its his fear that she wont feel the same way about him, like the fact that hes telling her he loves her and she doesnt love him back?
