¡UNO!
Fell For You
Song Meaning
The message for this song in the ¡Uno! deluxe lyric book is: "Wet dreams for the middle-fuck crisis. Keep your heart in a box with a lock on it for god’s sake!"
Billie Joe also said something similar on the closing night of American Idiot on Broadway: "Keep your fucking heart young, goddammit. Keep it fucking all comfy all the time. Don’t fucking stop, there’s a reason why that hand is holding the heart. It just keeps squeeze that motherfucker till it still bleeds every goddamn day."
Billie Joe (Warner Music Poland interview, 2012): "Some songs are straight up about love, like, uh... a lot of songs. Oh Love, Fell For You, Sweet 16. Then it sort of dies into the human element. The brain and the heart and soul."
Fan interpretation: "In this song, the narrator gives details about a dream that he had regarding a certain girl. He dreamt that he shared a kiss of true love with this girl. He awoke 'in a pool of sweat,' and realized that the dream had not been a reality. The narrator is kept up thinking about the girl, and wishes more and more for that dream to become a reality. He has totally fallen for her."

Lyrics
I woke up in a pool of sweat
First I thought that I pissed the bed
Haunted stories in the midnight hour
The kiss of death from the Eiffel Tower
Then I went down like the speed of sound
You're out of sight but not out of mind
I had a dream that I kissed your lips and it felt so true
Then I woke up as a nervous wreck and I fell for you
I'll spend the night living in denial
Making paper planes just for a while
I'll crash into you, I crash into you
'Cause you crash in my imagination too
Break a leg and you crush my heart
I'm a mess and you're a work of art
Count your blessings going zero to five
I steal a kiss and I took a dive
Then I went down like the speed of sound
You're out of sight but not out of mind
I had a dream that I kissed your lips and it felt so true
Then I woke up as a nervous wreck and I fell for you
I'll spend the night living in denial
Making paper planes just for a while
I'll crash into you, I crash into you
'Cause you crash in my imagination
I had a dream that I kissed your lips and it felt so true
Then I woke up as a nervous wreck and I fell for you
And I fell for you
And I fell for you
First I thought that I pissed the bed
Haunted stories in the midnight hour
The kiss of death from the Eiffel Tower
Then I went down like the speed of sound
You're out of sight but not out of mind
I had a dream that I kissed your lips and it felt so true
Then I woke up as a nervous wreck and I fell for you
I'll spend the night living in denial
Making paper planes just for a while
I'll crash into you, I crash into you
'Cause you crash in my imagination too
Break a leg and you crush my heart
I'm a mess and you're a work of art
Count your blessings going zero to five
I steal a kiss and I took a dive
Then I went down like the speed of sound
You're out of sight but not out of mind
I had a dream that I kissed your lips and it felt so true
Then I woke up as a nervous wreck and I fell for you
I'll spend the night living in denial
Making paper planes just for a while
I'll crash into you, I crash into you
'Cause you crash in my imagination
I had a dream that I kissed your lips and it felt so true
Then I woke up as a nervous wreck and I fell for you
And I fell for you
And I fell for you
