Lyrics:
Moved out to a new city
June is dawning down on me
And all that I can find’s

A sickly romance in the air
Lovers stroll without a care in sight
Oh this can’t be right..

Cause the sun’s engaged to the sky
And my best friends found a new guy
I'm only getting older
I've never had a shoulder to cry on
Someone to call mine
Everybody’s falling in love
And I'm falling behind

Touched the ocean fell right in
Stepped outside and burned my skin
My life wont go my way

Bossa nova in my room
Hope that I’ll find someone too
To love, because

The sun’s engaged to the sky
And my best friends found a new guy
I'm only getting older
I've never had a shoulder to cry on
Someone to call mine
Everybody’s falling in love
And I'm falling behind

Everybody’s falling in love
Everybody’s falling in love
Everybody’s falling in love but me

BOSSA NOVA + LAUFEY’S BEAUTIFUL VOICE = GREATEST SONG EVER

[alanjaramillo]

OMG THE ORCHESTRA MAKES THIS SONG SOUND SO GOOD

[tyafasf]

Am I the only one who feels that her voice makes you drunk happy??!!

[LaufeysArmpit]

THE BEGINNING???? WHY WAS IT SO GOOD😭😭

[tddyo]

the orchestra makes it sound so majestical with her singing 😭

[dokkae]

the orchestral bossa nova is so whimsical! thank you, laufeyyyy~

[sorellman]

Aside from her pleasant human appearance, the unique warmth of the tone her voice, Laufey brings to us the most refined poetry of the last decades.

[PRODVE]

Laufey is a huge inspiration to me and I WILL produce a song for her one day.

[WeiYuanPFY]

Not only is her music therapy, but so is she! She looks genuinely happy and that brings me happiness too :)❤

[clarice]

Her voice sounds like a disney princess 🥹 love you Laufey thank you for the amazing music, is a blessing to hear you sing. I really enjoyed this playlist

[lalechebindlemorg]

this feels like a genuine song that you could hear from somewhere in the 1950s to 70s.

which is a good thing by the way.

[Burn]

Her songs are like a warm hug, full of happiness.

[_KAIIAK_]

I love the concept of using an orchestra like this

[willyammm]

the orchestra elevates this beautiful song to a whole another level. 😍

[CarterInosencio]

1:11 this is just something the orchestra pulls off that the original version can’t compete with the layers are so good

[rosesaintlaurent]

This is just pure beauty! especially the first part, this version would sound awesome on a Disney film or something. Laufey is just pure magic💕her music just makes me feel better instantly.

[Music-by-ALON]

I don’t think the world deserves this performance. We’re unworthy😍

“Falling Behind”

Moved out to a new city
June is dawning down on me
And all that I can find
A sickly romance in the air
Lovers stroll without a care in sight
Ooh, this can't be right
'Cause the sun's engaged to the sky
And my best friend's found a new guy
I'm only getting older
I've never had a shoulder to cry on
Someone to call mine
Everybody's falling in love and I'm falling behind
Touched the ocean, fell right in
Stepped outside and burned my skin
My life won't go my way
Bossa nova in my room
Hope that I'll find someone too to love
Because
The sun's engaged to the sky
And my best friend's found a new guy
I'm only getting older
I've never had a shoulder to cry on
Someone to call mine
Everybody's falling in love and I'm falling behind
Everybody's falling in love
Everybody's falling in love, oh
Everybody's falling in love but me
(One, two, three)

[janeb]

This feels like flying, not falling!!!

[puppypaper]
