[Verse 1: Corbyn Besson]
Girls like you, they just don't understand
Didn't mean harm but you killed a man
Loving you never was in the plan
Stuck in your waves, I sink in your sand

[Pre-Chorus: Jonah Marais]
Swear I saw it comin'
I'm a fool for wantin’
You don't wanna be rushed
You don't wanna be touched
It's a shame girls like you don't know how to love
Tried to give you my all, but it's not enough

[Chorus: Jack Avery]
Can't you see that I'm falling?
Can't you see that I'm falling, falling for you?
Show me where your heart is
Can't you see that I'm falling, falling for you?
Can't you see that I'm honest, and I want this?
Can't believe that I'm falling, like this for you
Can't you see that I'm falling?
I'm falling, falling for you

[Post-Chorus: All]
Ooh, ooh, ooh (falling, falling)
Ooh, ooh, ooh (falling, falling)

[Verse 2: Zach Herron]
And it's crazy the things I would do for us
But the stars don't align, they're not here for us
It's a shame girls like you don't know how to trust
Wish my feelings would turn 'round from love to lust

[Pre-Chorus: Jonah Marais]
Swear I saw it comin'
I'm a fool for wantin’
You don't wanna be rushed
You don't wanna be touched
It's a shame girls like you don't know how to love
Tried to give you my all but it's not enough

[Chorus: Jack Avery]
Can't you see that I'm falling?
Can't you see that I'm falling, falling for you?
Show me where your heart is
Can't you see that I'm falling, falling for you?
Can't you see that I'm honest, and I want this?
Can't believe that I'm falling, like this, for you
Can't you see that I'm falling?
I'm falling, falling for you

[Interlude: Daniel Seavey]
In my dreams, in my hopes
In my mind, they remind me of you
Should've left when I could, can't get out
I don't know what to do

[Bridge: Daniel Seavey]
You can dig my grave, 'cause I can't be saved
Like a grain of sand lost in a tidal wave
In a broken place, no I can't be traced
Wish you handled my feelings in better ways

[Chorus: Jack Avery]
Can't you see that I'm falling? (falling for, falling for)
Can't you see that I'm falling, falling for you?
Show me where your heart is (oh, oh)
Can't you see that I'm falling, falling for you?(ooh)
Can't you see that I'm honest, and I want this?
Can't believe that I'm falling, like this for you
Can't you see that I'm falling?
I'm falling, falling for you

[Post-Chorus: Jack Avery, All]
Falling for you
Ooh, ooh, ooh (falling, falling)
I'm falling for you
Ooh, ooh, ooh (falling, falling)

Why Don’t We is a boy band consisting of Daniel Seavey, Zach Herron, Corbyn Besson, Jonah Marais and Jack Avery. The members individually gained recognition over social media by posting covers and doing live streams. Seavey was also a contestant on season 14 of the American TV show American Idol. The group started activities on September 27, 2016, with the release of their two singles “Taking You” and “Nobody Gotta Know” and EP Only The Beginning, shortly thereafter.

The band gained a lot of recognition from their 2017 single “Something Different”. They went on to release four EPs in that year, notably gaining recognition for their collaboration with YouTuber Logan Paul, who also directed several of their music videos at this time.

Their first release in 2018, the Ed Sheeran-written “Trust Fund Baby,” ranked #2 on the American iTunes Chart, and was the band’s highest achievement to that date. They released three singles in June, July and August of that year preceding their first full length album on August 31, 2018. “Talk”, the second pre-release, peaked at #1 on the American iTunes Chart, surpassing their personal record just five months later.
