The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Falling for You" by the artist "Weezer"

In Weezer's "Falling for You," the narrator finds himself smitten with a younger woman and grapples with his unexpected feelings and the potential societal judgment they might face.

He acknowledges the "unwritten rules" about age gaps in relationships but is ultimately drawn to her regardless. He's surprised and flattered by her interest, especially considering his age and rockstar lifestyle.

He humorously contemplates having to "get fat and old" with her, shedding his "burning candle" persona. He's charmed by her soft nature and the fact that she sees something special in him despite his perceived simplicity.

The recurring phrase "you really got me going, the way you touch me" emphasizes the physical attraction and passion he feels. He eventually admits his love and willingness to "settle down" with her.

Holy cow, I think I've got one here,

Now just what am I supposed to do?

I've got a number of irrational fears

That I'd like to share with you.

First, there's rules about old goats like me

Hanging 'round with chicks like you,

But I do like you and another one:

You say “like” too much.

But I'm shaking at your touch, I like you way too much,

My baby, I'm afraid I'm falling for you.

I'd do 'bout anything to get the hell out alive,

Or maybe I would rather settle down with you, oh!

Holy moly, baby, wouldn't you know it?

Just as I was busting loose,

I gotta go turn in my rock star card

And get fat and old with you,

'Cause I'm a burning candle, you're a gentle moth

Teaching me to lick a little bit kinder,

And I do like you — you're the lucky one,

No, I'm the lucky one.

I'm shaking at your touch, I like you way too much,

My baby, I'm afraid I'm falling for you.

I'd do 'bout anything to get the hell out alive,

Or maybe I would rather settle down with you.

Holy sweet, goddamn!

You left your cello in the basement,

I admired the glowing stars

And tried to play a tune,

I can't believe how bad I suck, it's true.

What could you possibly see in little ol' three chord me?

But I do like you and you like me too,

I'm ready, let's do it, baby!

I'm shaking at your touch, I like you way too much,

My baby, I'm afraid I'm falling for you.

I'd do 'bout anything to get the hell out alive,

Or maybe I would rather settle down...

(Down)

With you. (With you)

Down (Down)

With you, (With you)

Oh!
