The Fall – The Chainsmokers


We do the same drugs

Turn up the sounds and let it fill your body

Building up the tension

I’ll stay the night if you’re having fun

I can feel your body (Feel your body, feel your body)

You’re gonna wish you left

But you never leave

‘Cause you can’t put your arms

‘Round a memory

You’re gonna wish you left

But you never leave (Never leave, never leave, leave, leave, leave, leave)

You’re gonna wish you left

But you never leave

‘Cause you can’t put your arms

‘Round a memory

You’re gonna wish you left

But you never leave (Never leave, never leave, leave, leave, leave, leave)

You just want emotion

You just want

It’s the same love

I left the ground and I can’t feel my body

Lost in your dimension, I’ll stay awhile

But it’s not enough if I can’t feel your body (Feel your body, feel your body)

You’re gonna wish you left

But you never leave

‘Cause you can’t put your arms

‘Round a memory

You’re gonna wish you left

But you never leave (Never leave, never leave, leave, leave, leave, leave)

You’re gonna wish you left

But you never leave

‘Cause you can’t put your arms

‘Round a memory

You’re gonna wish you left

But you never leave

You just want emotion

You just want

Unpacking the Emotions in “The Fall”

“The Fall” by The Chainsmokers captures the bittersweet cycle of fleeting connections and emotional longing. The lyrics paint a picture of two people seeking comfort in each other’s presence, yet struggling to bridge the gap between memory and reality. The recurring lines, “You’re gonna wish you left, but you never leave, ’cause you can’t put your arms ’round a memory,” highlight the struggle to let go of something that no longer exists in its true form. The song explores the tension between physical desire and emotional fulfillment, with references to losing oneself in the moment, only to realize that the connection is ultimately elusive. The repetition of phrases intensifies the feeling of being trapped in a loop, unable to move forward or fully let go.
