Falling For The First Time Lyrics

I'm so cool, too bad I'm a loser
I'm so smart, too bad I can't get anything figured out
I'm so brave, too bad I'm a baby
I'm so fly, that's probably why it
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time

I'm so green, it's really...

    “Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has its cost. Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost. What if I lost my direction? What if I lost sense of time? What if I nursed this infection? Maybe the worst is behind.”
    The song is about recovering from romantic failure. The perfectionist is a maturing hopeless romantic who is edging into a new relationship with a flawed but caring person after breaking up with a narcissistic person.

    I love this song and to me it feel like it is encouraging people to take changes and learn from their mistakes.

    Ok this is straight from the writer's mouth himself.

    It's about a perfectionist who can't learn to be perfect without learning to fall.
