Standing in the dark with you
I thank my lucky stars
That all those movie scenes aren’t just wishful thinking
If you believe that it can happen to you
I can feel your eyes on me, I’ve got no place to hide
If it were brighter you could see my cheeks turn red
Oh, it’s so quiet I can hear my heartbeat in my head
When he takes you by the hand
You gotta listen to your heart
Don’t try to understand
Just fall apart
‘Cause the story isn’t told
You’re only at the start
Forget everything you know
And just fall apart
I don’t have a role, right now I’m playing myself
There’s no camera or director standing by
What do I do? I keep forgetting all my stupid lines!
When he takes you by the hand
You gotta listen to your heart
Don’t try to understand
Just fall apart
‘Cause the story isn’t told
You’re only at the start
Forget everything you know
And just fall apart
Remember when Spider-Man kissed Mary Jane upside down in the rain?
She didn’t need to know his name, she couldn’t even see his face
So when he takes you by the hand
You gotta listen to your heart
Don’t try to understand
Just fall apart
‘Cause the story isn’t told
You’re only at the start
Forget everything you know
And just fall apart
So when he takes you by the hand
You gotta listen to your heart
Don’t try to understand
Just fall apart
‘Cause the story isn’t told
You’re only at the start
Forget everything you know
And just fall apart
Just fall apart
And just fall apart
Embracing Vulnerability in ‘Fall Apart’
In “Fall Apart,” Sabrina Carpenter invites listeners into a world where vulnerability and emotional honesty take center stage. The song captures the heart-fluttering uncertainty of new love, drawing parallels to iconic movie moments to convey the intensity and magic of romantic beginnings. Through vivid imagery—standing in the dark, feeling exposed, cheeks turning red—Carpenter paints a picture of someone caught between excitement and self-doubt. The chorus encourages letting go of rational defenses and surrendering to raw emotion, reminding us that every great love story begins with a leap of faith.
Pop Culture and Self-Discovery
Carpenter cleverly references the famous Spider-Man kiss, highlighting the idea that real-life romance can be just as cinematic.
