Laufey - Falling Behind (Official Audio)

Follow Laufey:

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

[MillieFreckles]

I really love how she doesn't repeat "I'm falling behind" at the end but instead uses "Everybody’s falling in love" and then "but me"... LOVE YOU LAUFEY. You make a troubled heart song in such good vibes.

[krystall]

SHE'S NOT FALLING BEHIND ANYMORE GUYS‼️‼️‼️

[duchuynguyentran]

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)

listening to Laufey really helps you romanticize the ordinary, ugh.

loving the bossa nova feels. NOT TO MENTION THE OUTRO--

[cerstaline]

I literally started balling my eyes out because I've never had my feelings so perfectly shown in a song before.

[Ijustlikemushroomsok]

As someone who hasn’t had a single crush in their entire life and now questioning whether I even can be attracted to people, this is so relatable.

[KingofGeo]

This will be a classic, 50 years from now this will still come on the radio and be used in movie montages

[baowowoab]

The “1, 2, 3” ending from 2:20 is so heartwarming! I am in love with it. Such a creative way to end a song 🎶
The song is named Falling Behind, but for those who listen to the song, you are never behind of seeking love in your life!

[NakOut]

Laufey, you are regenerating the bossa nova era, and I'm here for it! All of your music is so incredibly beautiful, but your latest songs are seriously displaying all of your qualities as not only a talented and unique vocalist, but also as a creative composer and lyricist. You do not know how much the world is in need of artists like you, and I'm so lucky to have the opportunity to bask in the warmth of your heartfelt music at your concert at the Troubadour, LA.

I can't wait to see you become the mainstream jazz artist whose music gets played on the radio, because you are the artist the world's been waiting for!!

[fonialove]

I love how at the end she says, 1 2 3, which is usually done at the beginning, but since she is falling behind it’s at the end 🤭

[donttellthem]

As a brazillian, I've never heard a foreigner sing such authentic bossa nova.

[thetrumpetguy]

Laufey you are the most underrated artist I know. I can’t wait until more people realize your incredible talent and you become the superstar you should be

[odnarlo]

this hits for exactly what i've been struggling through for ages but really bad lately... tryin to romanticize myself and my own life... we got this.

[kentdmayor]

Laufey falling in love, and I'm falling behind

[MaishaOnTop]

As a 26 yo woman who's never had a boyfriend, never kissed, cuddled or even held hands with a man, I relate so heavily to this song. And it sucks... Wonder when or even if it's ever going to happen for me.

[vitaminC]

i love the bossa nova sounds in this song, it makes it the perfect summer song before school starts :]

[peachy_blossomz]

Real men don’t like laufey, they live, laugh, love laufey

[Wisterial-]

Ngl this hits harder as someone who is homeschooled and never gets to socialize with people my age

[caitlinnicole]

Your music is the type I would listen to laying out at night glaring at the moon & the stars and reminiscing on the past or wishing on the future :))

[pk.bingbong]

This is the type of song that would take me back to the feeling of summer regardless of the season☀🏖
Another beautiful release from our Magnolia!
