[Caroline Polachek:]
Fall
Fall in
Fall in love
Fall in love again
Fall in love again and again
Fall in love again and again
Fall in love again and again
Fall in love again and again
Fall in love again and again
Fall in love again and again
Fall in love again and again
Fall in love again and
Fall in love again
Fall in love
Fall in
Fall
Walk to the studio soaking wet
ACAB tag on a bus stop sign
(Everything is, uh)
Catch a face in the window pane
“Oof, what’s up, that’s me, that’s mine”
(Everything is, uh)
Sleepy head ’cause all the fucking foxes kept me awake last night
(Everything is)
Charli calls from a hotel bed
Hungover on Tokyo time
(Everything is, uh)
[Charli XCX (Caroline Polachek):]
Hey, girl, what’s up, how you been?
I think I need your advice
(That’s crazy, I was just thinking of you)
(What’s on your mind?)
I’m trying to shut off my brain
I’m thinking ’bout work all the time
(It’s like you’re living the dream)
(But you’re not living your life)
I knew that you would relate
I feel smothered by logistics
Need my fingerprints on everything
Trying to feed my relationship
Am I in a slump?
Am I playing back time?
Did I lose my perspective?
Everything’s still romantic, right?
[Caroline Polachek:]
Late nights in black silk in East London
Church bells in the distance
Free bleeding in the autumn rain
Fall in love again and again
Late nights in black silk in East London
Church bells in the distance
Free bleeding in the autumn rain
Fall in love again and again
Fall
Fall in
Fall in love
Fall in love again
Fall in love again and again
Fall in love again and again
Fall in love again and again
Fall in love again and again
Fall in love again and again
Fall in love again and again
Fall in love again and again
Fall in love again and
Everything is (Romantic), uh, uh, yeah
Fall in love again and again
Fall in love again and again
Fall in love again and again
Fall in love again and
Everything is (Romantic), uh, uh, yeah
Fall in love again and again
Fall in love again and again
Fall in love again and again
Fall in love again and
Late nights in black silk in East London (Everything is)
Church bells in the distance (Uh)
Free bleeding in the autumn rain (Uh)
Fall in love again and again (Yeah)
Fall in love again and again
Fall in love again and again
Fall in love again and
Late nights in black silk in East London (Everything is)
Church bells in the distance (Uh)
Free bleeding in the autumn rain (Uh)
Fall in love again and again (Yeah)
Late nights in black silk in East London
Church bells in the distance
Free bleeding in the autumn rain
Fall in
[Caroline Polachek (Charli XCX):]
Silver scratch card in The Canal
Romantic like six-pound wine
Dark in the park, Celtic graves
Girl throws up from the back of a line
Headphones on, I hit “Play”
All things change at the blink of an eye
Charli calls from a photo set
(Living that life is romantic, right?)
Finding Beauty in Chaos
“Everything is romantic” by Charli XCX featuring Caroline Polachek captures the allure of everyday moments, embracing the chaos and mundanity of life as portals to romance. The song’s repetitive motifs of “falling in love again and again” mirror the cyclical nature of passion and the human search for meaning, even in the most unexpected places. Vivid imagery—like late nights in East London, church bells in the distance, and walking to the studio soaking wet—grounds the song in real, tactile experiences. Through candid conversations and fleeting snapshots, Charli and Caroline reflect on vulnerability, exhaustion, and the longing for connection, ultimately asking whether everything in life can still feel romantic, no matter how overwhelming or ordinary it may seem.
