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 - เพลง

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.
Yes!!! It’s so simple and so brilliant.
Yes - it’s another brilliant bit of songwriting… thanks Laufey! If anyone wants to learn to play it - I’ve made a real clear tutorial - hope you like! th-cam.com/video/vZQU8Sj-QzY/w-d-xo.html

and how the song sounds like it's ending-- except.
go to bed thinking it's over, that's it, that's the end of the day and nothing to show for it once again. fall asleep repeatedly murmuring "everybody's falling in love, everybody's falling in love, everybody's falling in love..." it feels like everything is over before it started.
then before you know it-- feel the morning sunlight filtering through the blinds. it's a brand new day and anything could happen.
and you whisper to yourself: "one, two, three--"
Feels very Chet Baker-ish
listening to Laufey really helps you romanticize the ordinary, ugh.
loving the bossa nova feels. NOT TO MENTION THE OUTRO--
THE OUTRO SO AWESOME
@@lumpiavegetariana2196 you can do the other other guy on my side if if ur 😅😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😅😅😅😅😅😊😅or
wooo wooo wooo wooooo
Why is this song mood tho
Brazil getting reconization with bossa nova and laufey making DOPE songs.
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.
me too except the only crush ive had was when i was 7
broooo me too
don't know what to do.
prob aromantic or smth
I like this song very much because it reminds me of my feelings before I realised I was aroace (Aromantic Asexual)

@@user-kg4oy2xv7h thank you
Thank you very much for posting the lyrics…God bless you
@@Ebee7 thank you for reading my comment among all other lyrics comments 🥰
Only real men listen to Laufey
ppl judge me for being a boy and loving laufey's music but its completely normal and its amazing music
@@checkm8bruhFr
So true bestie.
Same I listen to her everyday when I’m on the bus or in class Long live Laufey :)
Real
I literally started balling my eyes out because I've never had my feelings so perfectly shown in a song before.
It's BAWLING! Balling is when you dribble a basketball (i think) . I can't get the image of a cat dribbling its eyeball to the beat of 9mm out of my mind
Damn, I didn't know your eyes were cool like that
Literally me. The only time I ever felt like I truly had a crush on someone, days later my best friend said he liked her and got her number, so I had to get rid of my first ever true feelings for someone. This song is the most true thing for me ever.
This will be a classic, 50 years from now this will still come on the radio and be used in movie montages
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.
im only 12 years old, but i know that you will find him. dont look too hard, he will come to you. 💗
I can kinda relate, I’m 24 and I hope I can find someone I can do all that stuff with. I’m sure you’ll find your person someday 🫶🏽
I'm you but a 20 year old guy. I have the exact same situation.
me but im 20!we’ll find our someone one day
It's a sign of the times it seems
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!
I still don't know why, but whenever I hear the countdown I immediately tear up. There's something so nostalgic and bittersweet about it. Is there a meaning behind the countdown so I can ACUALLY have a reason to cry to the outro?
@@TheMaestro1275 I interpret the outro as love at first sight, or her finally falling. The song ends quietly and slow as she says "Everybody's falling in love, but me" . Maybe the countdown is signaling when she finally sees someone she likes or the exact moment she's fallen in love with somebody she knows. When she does finally fall in love, the instrumental picks back up again in full swing. It makes sense with the next songs in the album too :)
@@withoutwarningfl Thank you so much, I'm now going to listen to this song and sob
@@TheMaestro1275 no problem lmao. from one hopeless romantic to another😓
The ending sounds like a Tyler the creator song
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!!
I confirm this facts. 😀 Most underrated comment!
@@GuyHeadbanger Thank you! I can't even begin to explain how much Laufey's music has given me the hope that "good" music is still out there; and obviously, even though what's considered "good" is subjective, I really value the artistry of artists like her who actually take the time to actually play the music instead of rely on other people's samples and beats, and the raw sound of a carefully mastered recording of the instrumentals is just beautiful. I'm literally in love with this woman's talent, dedication, and soul expressed through her entire discography, and I'm just so excited to see where she goes from here
@@NakOut Last week - as a native German - I traveled by train in Germany. The train was rather full and loud, so I decided to hear some music on my cell phone, as it would not bother anyone. No headphones. So I listened to "The Girl from Ipanema" Astrud Gilberto, João Gilberto and Stan Getz, good old version. Right after a Laufey compilation started playing and around me people got silent, trying to get an idea, what I was listening to. Students, elderly ladies, it was amazing!
Sure, I wish her as much success as possible, but on the other hand I am hoping that commercial success does not turn Laufey into one of those zombies we get to hear on radio these days. Maybe there are some old fashioned jazz producers around helping her out without corrupting her or pushing her.
She really is amazing. So glad to see bossa coming back too!
As a Brazilian i am so thankful that people are listening to bossa nova! Thank you so much. Viva a bossa nova.
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.
I just love how you can feel comfortable just telling the comments how you feel🫶 I’ve been going thru the same thing sister/brother!🫶
Awww,@@Bobisnotbobbinynameisnotbob thank you very much!
staying delulu is the solulu
Ngl, it took me a couple minutes for this to click. Lmfao, I get it now. I mean jokingly, yes, in reality I feel learning to disconnect and live more present and learn how to be able to focus on what you have and try to bask in that rather than the pain and what we don’t have or feel we lack is key. In my experience at least. I struggle with sever depression sometimes and have lost many friends due to not being able to preform up to ideals even when I’m totally good most of the time and go above and beyond. It sucks but the reality is like… we’re better off knowing it eventually than having wasted more time on them. I’d rather stay alone and be lonely even than to keep putting what little energy I have to spare sometimes into others who don’t appreciate me or life outside of social media and stuff yn? So, sorry to get serious but I felt it was something I should have added on for anyone needing to hear. You’re worth fighting for in that people who really care about you and your well being won’t want you having to be out of touch with yourself or reality just to get on, they would want to see you get in touch with yourself and thriving EVEN if that means talking less often/consistently, even if that means you delete socials, they’ll want you to put your phone down for days and pick up books and make tea and bask in your own life and space you slowly make your own. That’s true and healthy friendship, they want you to be the best you and will root for you every step of the way whether in spirit for a bit while apart or just a lil text saying so to check in. Yn? Healthy distance for that is important and others should understand and so many don’t and I just felt I needed to vent about that. I hope you all start to build a bomb ass relationship with yourself and the space you live in. Just, love on yourself, you deserve it!!!! 🫶🏻😌🥰💖don’t let anyone tell you otherwise or make you feel guilty or uncomfortable about it either loves!
I feel the same. I feel like I’m never gonna find that right person y’know?
As a brazillian, I've never heard a foreigner sing such authentic bossa nova.
TOTAL CARA, a bossa nova é uma das nossas mais notáveis características! Solém, irmão.
SIMMMMM
WAKE UP EVERYONE NEW LAUFEY SONG!!
Yeah!!!
love the pfp
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
That would take with the big record labels coming around to Julie Andrews vocal styles again or independent/indie record companies coming alongside up-and-coming artists like Laufey who are reviving this genre of music for us millennials/GenZ peeps 🤞
Guess what my guy, she's slowly reaching the big leagues now
she's a big artist now!! she's going big man :]
~Lyrics~
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 ~oh~ this can't be right cause the suns 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 everybodys falling love and I'm falling behind
Touch the ocean fell right in stepped outside and burned my skin
my life won't go my way
bosa nova in my room
hope that i'll find someone to to love because the Suns 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 oh~oh~oh
everybody's falling in love but me
I’m aroace but I’ve been having a really hard time accepting myself cause I feel like I’m “behind” my peers in development even tho romance IS NOT a e requirement to growing up. This song makes me feel seen. Thank you for making it in all its bittersweetness💚
Virtual hugs. 💛
As an aroace gal myself, I understand you! It's so difficult explaining my orientation to other people without them either finding it funny, or telling me that I just haven't found the right one.
Same except what makes me feel like im falling behind isn't the lack of attraction but the repulsion part
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!
ikr
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 :))
Ah, yes. This was what I was looking for. I didn’t know what to imagine while listening to this song, but this is perfect. 👍
just my mind

Real
@@onuraltun5058 Nah, hes completely fine

"Falling Behind" really reminds me of the three year period between my last and current relationship, because after having been cheated on and dumped, I felt like "everybody's falling in love, and I'm falling behind." Honestly, it's one of the hardest feelings to deal with, because having already experienced the beauty and excitement of love, the pain of being dumped and seeing other people's relationships begin or continue to succeed is just insanely tough to bear.
I feel that both the pain of never having been in a relationship and having been in a failed relationship make it easy to relate to the lyrics "I'm falling behind," ... and honestly, it's hard to convince yourself otherwise, but I eventually began to realize that being single didn't have to mean that I was "falling behind." -- Taking the time to really relearn how to love myself really helped me to escape the idea that being single is equivalent to failure. Eventually, I found someone who helped me to relearn the wonders of love, and now I can sing this song with the understanding that even though seeing everyone around you falling in love is often disheartening as a single person, there is absolutely hope for all that yearn for love from a special someone.
It took me FOREVER to feel like I was worthy of being love again, but I swear (and as corny as it may sound), good things come in time
this was really touching for me
Hey Kaila you're so beautiful
Laufey's voice makes me feel the same way the warmth of rays from a sunrise does.
i love the bossa nova sounds in this song, it makes it the perfect summer song before school starts :]
How's school going, bro?
@@thebeardedjohnschool’s great! thanks for asking 💪
Laufey, I am going to start the new year with this song! I've always loved your music ever since your first song. Thank you for being apart of my 2023 year.
real
Ngl this hits harder as someone who is homeschooled and never gets to socialize with people my age
same 😂😂😂😂
oooooooooooof sameeee, especially that i live in a new country with a different language. 😬😬Hope you're not an only child, i got 4
Omg sameee!!
same and an only child lol
I'VE NEVER BEEN SO COMMITED TO AN ARTIST BEFORE 😭😭😭😭 ever since I've discovered you through someone I just fell in love with your music and I listen to it 24/7 in any situation 🫶🫶🫶 your songs helped me go through everything and I will always look forward to your music
LITERALLY SAME my playlist is full with laufey's songs rn 😭💕
Listen to grentperez too, almost not a single bad song ever released by him
Her voice gave me comfort during my lowest moment. Every night, I play her songs and it soothes my mind. Her humming really strikes my heart and her voice is on constant replay everytime i feel down. I hope she grows in popularity that she deserves😊
This hits different as an aroace. Sometimes I wish I had the feelings my friends do to boys, I wish I didn’t feel like an alien, being confused about how love feels, why people feel love. I wish I had the same view of crushes as my friends, because they act like it’s the biggest deal in the world, but I see it as just liking one person more than others. But, I guess everybody’s falling in love, and I’m falling behind…
Layfeys songs are so relatable and I love them for that. Her voice is so soothing, calms me down 100% of the time
This sounds like a song that would be in Steven Universe
bossa nova vibes are used in steven universe and its great
I absolutely adore this woman. She can sing a love song in a way that drops you to your knees convinced that she’s feeling the lyrics, but then, She gives us songs like this and “everything I know about love“.
the control she has on her deep register is SOO admirable
Real men don’t like laufey, they live, laugh, love laufey
바다 넘 보고싶었는데 매력적인 목소리에 노래까지🎉 덕분에 즐거운 퇴근길❤
As a senior in Highschool, this is so real. I feel like I haven't a clue what to do next. At the same time, I feel like I'm always behind everyone my age. I'm not in a relationship of any kind, while everyone else my age is dating or "likes" someone. I'm not interested in anyone.
High school is one of the worst times to get a relationship; everyone is young and stupid. There will be plenty more chances - most statistically happen around age 30.
I could play this at night and fall asleep to how smooth her voice is. I can't even write an entire essay on how amazing her voice is.
I absolutely savored the guitar part on this track, it’s simple but great; it’s minimalistic. I’m jealous of your writing skills Laufey lol.
laufey, i’ve been a fan since march 2021 and im so proud of you. all of your songs are so good, i am so proud of your progress, your recent fame because you deserve all of it, and i am most definitely proud to be called one of your fans, thank you for making such amazing music.

Everybody's falling in love but me
If this song had a smell it would smell like dove soap
100%
bro…..yes
God is this song amazing, the lyrics, the beat, her voice, EVERYTHING 🫶🏾. Laufey is one of my favorite artists of all time and I relate to this song so much. The feeling of knowing everyone else is falling in love, getting into amazing relationships, and finding their perfect match, while you sit at home, alone, listening to the song is just so immense. I truly don’t know how this woman isn’t the most well regarded, famous person of all time. THANK YOU LAUFEY❤️❤️❤️
Pretty girls like Laufey
Aren't we all Falling Behind!!??💯💖
Nope
I love The voice of Laufey so classy & soothing..Bossa Nova 💕 it
I hate how laufey is WAY too underrated like come on, her music is just a masterpiece
Laufey’s music always helps me feel so calm

THE LAST PART SHOT ME IN THE HEART the “one… two… three…” just really was so smooth. your voice is amazing and i’ve been waiting so long for this song to come out. thank you for the lovely bossa nova laufey ❤
i cant explain with words how much i love this song and laufey especially , its been one year since this came out but this song has a special place in my heart ...AND THE OUTRO !!!!!!
I love this song🤍
出会えてよかったです😭
Happy valentines day!! 😘
who knew 2 words could change the entire feel of the song.. this is amazing work!
I can't stress enough on how much I don't want gang to find out I fw Laufey.
I just love how mellow this song is!! I can’t stop listening.
I had a really bad week, full of bad surprises, finally today all ended well and the release of this new song was the final piece to turn this day into a great day, thankyou so much for your music, your voice always warms my soul and let me go on day by day.
Make sure to never rush into a relationship, especially if you feel left behind by your friends around you. It will cause both you and your partner to get hurt. Ease into things, it's okay if they're not _the_ one for you.
th way she says "someone to caaall mineee" scratches my brain, i love it so much 0:52
oh my gosh i cried hard on the entry to your chorus, thank you for making this. Laufey please please keep doing what you're doing
when you performed this song with LA philharmonic, an elderly lady a couple persons to your right was observably enchanted. I can't stop thinking about her because I felt exactly the same. Your music is absolutely amazing, and I hope to see you continue your absolutely revolutionary perspective on the genre that you approach.
Seriously, I hope this reaches you somehow. You are a fucking amazing musician.
OMG THIS IS THE BEST SONG I EVER HEARD IN 2023!!!
YA YA YA YA YA YA YA YA YA SHE MY FAVVV! IM SOOOO HAPPY FOR HER!!
This video feels like life in one, one minute video.
this is one of my favorites, it literally describes everything happening rn 😭 laufey is so relatable i love her sm ❤❤
listening to laufey is comfort and therapy ❤
I feel like I can levitate at bed after hearing this beautiful, hypnotizing, and majestic song made by laufey it makes me tear up 😭💖💖
Let me say this; Laufey is indeed the modern-day incarnation of goddess Harmonia - the muse of heavenly music and melodies, harmony, accordance, and peace! Her impossibly divine beauty, almost ethereal and magical musical skills, and majestic aura and personality are all perfect!
playing rhis for new years rn, LOVE U LAUFEYYY!!!
She NEEDS to make a song with lyn Lapid
Lyn did a cover of let you break my heart again on Tik tok and I’m so happy I recorded it
the album is the only thing i’ve awaited this summer
this song hit different
Laufey's voice is just so soothing to listen to and combined with that lovely jazz,it's a literal bread and butter combo!
Her music is a blessing to this world
This is kinda sad. How can there be so many lonely people? We're all in the same situation, on our own
loved this so much!! please keep singing laufey your music is one of the reasons im still alive!! 💖
So soft❤😊
WE NOT FALLING BACK ANYMORE WITH THIS ONE
WE'VE BEEN WAITING OMGG
you’re such a talented and beautiful artist Laufey omgg I just love your music so much!! you’re one of the special artists i will never forget because you made me introduce and fall in love with jazz
is it just me or this would be good in steven universe?
my exact thought
I love how this sounds, it sounds so peaceful, like listen to this on a picnic or when your reading. it's like the song where u are having a "Happy days only"
You give us songs every couple months or so...and every single one of them is awesome!...
Love you Laufey..😇
Her voice is like the angels were singing ^^
Happy Christmas to all the Laufey fans around the world!
🥁 🎄🎄 2023 🎄🎄 🥁
I can littarly spend my whole life listening to her music 😭💕💕
I'm re-visting this song and words can't describe how much it gives me such a nice feeling and its always resonated with me very closely mainly because I don't have any form of attraction to anyone and feel like there is a physical disconnect between the standard and legit this song is such a bop and I blare it and other songs by Laufey whenever i have the chance
Heavenly voice. Never fails to enthrall my heart.
Lauryl you make my soul seen of all things that feels in how I feel. "Everybody is falling in love but me." You make it so natural and sweet. Thank you.
This lyric hits different when you’re a teenager and your friends are having a crush on somebody. ❤
Yeah.
Each time I think you created a perfect song, you put out a new one that's even better! Can't wait to receive the album and see you live!
Laufey's voice + bossa nova = heaven
her songs make me cry yet feel so happy
SHE JUST COUNTED ME INTO 2024!!!
We hiding this from the homies🔥🔥🔥🔥
what my gymbros don't know im actually listening to
It gave me "everything everywhere all at once" vibes
Your music is so inspiring to me. I thought bc I’m a classical singer I’d only ever be able to do opera, but here you are reviving an entire genre of music. Let’s do this! 🥹
Every song leaves me speechless, laufey you just make art with your music, god you transmit peace and love, laufey i love u 💘
this song is the BEST possible birthday present to receive! knew as soon as i heard this live that it would be fantastic once studio recorded and (as always) you did not disappoint!! love the summery bossa vibes endlessly
Vibes are immaculate as always.
I wish I could describe how happy I am that bossa nova music is becoming a kind of mainstream. Beautiful
i never have felt rlly identified when it comes to songs but yours have changed that
I love how it sounds like hold music because when you’re on hold you’re waiting so it sounds like hold music because you’re waiting to fall in love
This song is just too much relatable
she's no longer falling behind
