“Fell For You” shows a narrator who falls for a girl. He begins by telling the audience about a dream he had where he kissed her; he was left craving that moment that he wishes to return to that dream or if possible, make it a reality.
[Verse 1]
I woke up in a pool of sweat
At first, I thought that I pissed the bed
All the stars in the midnight hour
A kiss of death from the Eiffel Tower
[Pre-Chorus]
And I went down like the speed of sound
You're out of sight, but not out of mind
[Chorus]
I had a dream that I kissed your lips and it felt so true
Then I woke up as a nervous wreck and I fell for you
[Post-Chorus]
I'll spend the night living in denial
Making paper planes just for a while
I'll crash into you, crash into you

And I went down like the speed of sound
You're out of sight, but not out of mind
[Chorus]
I had a dream that I kissed your lips and it felt so true
Then I woke up as a nervous wreck and I fell for you
[Post-Chorus]
I'll spend the night living in denial
Making paper planes just for a while
I'll crash into you, crash into you
Did you crash in my imagination?
[Chorus]
I had a dream that I kissed your lips and it felt so true
Then I woke up as a nervous wreck and I fell for you
[Outro]
And I fell for you
And I fell for you, oh-oh
