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

As a 22 year old who's never been in a relationship and had quite a few failed dates, this one hits a little too close to home. It's good to know there are lots of others in the same boat though! Only discovered Laufey a couple of days ago but man, I can't stop listening to her. Her voice is just so soothing.

[@lolzfunnycat17]

same!!!

[@thatfamiliarstranger]

Same!!! 23. Fallen in love but never reciprocated😢

[@tobitobiokageyama]

same.

[@CCoreOW]

@@thatfamiliarstranger Oh yeah for sure feel that one. Tbf it's gotten to the point where I can't even tell if my feelings are actually real anymore, cause man, my brain just falls in love with random people on the street now

[@thatfamiliarstranger]

@@CCoreOW you know I can't tell/ remember what love feels like unless it happens. Until it fades away, I let the waves pass through me and when it's gone, I can't even remember how it felt.

[@steph3819]

the amount of coordination it actually takes to play this song is insane

[@loganrao353]

and sing at the same time, she is talented as fkkkk

[@lachlanteh4313]

no so true cuz I can play it perfectly and I try add in singing and its impossible lol

@@jnbargen5449 yeah fr, but she did write it so i guess it sorta makes sense

[@abacaxi1471]

I can play the damn song and even sing but my singing skills are so poor man.

Reposted for better quality!! ❤️ hope you like it and thank you all for all the kind comments so far 🫶🏼

[@ralphmarcusdeguzman7655]

Your so cool Laufey thanks for your songs!

[@taplubambhos2869]

I think just keep doing acoustic bossa nova Laufey, its your niche, it's pure bliss and beauty for us and you shine like the midsummer sun in this format

[@ClaireUnderwoodMusic]

Just beautiful... my next song to learn perhaps... I might just end up becoming a Laufey tribute act!! 😂 Your song writing is right up there with the best!

[@cookiedragon8234]

Laufey I adore your music, and this may be my favorite acoustic video you’ve ever done! Your voice fits bossanova so perfectly. This feels like a warm hug

[@leminoade]

lady not a track releases from your repository that does not make me want to fall in love and disappear from the internet to dance around in my kitchen and discover myself. the day you disappear is the day i cover contemporary music in a white sheet, hoping it's you and all your talent and passion underneath. I LOVE YOU LAUFEY NEVER STOP MAKING MUSIC XX

[@eliya777]

I really hope you publish acoustic version of your albums one day. Your singing voice and playing guitar alone sound simply elegant and perfect.

[@JimmyLundberg]

for real!

[@erick-gd7wo]

I'm dreaming of Chesky Record.... one of the audiophile quality record company

[@JasmineN.]

100% agreed :)

[@arnlmndza]

on point!

[@marvinchang7077]

Great song writing and singing!

[@DJMoy0]

It’s a good day when Laufey drops a track

[@Squabbles64]

I love that even as she grows she still uploads these acoustic versions and gives us a little background on the songs. It makes it still feel like when she only had a couple thousand subscribers and such. So personal and delightful :)

[@handlemonium]

Yeah this is exactly how Olivia Rodrigo started out before she accepted her contact in Disney's High School Musical series. Hope she retraces her roots later in life.....maybe with a little nudge from Laufey 😊

[@Narine-Marvel_lover]

This is why she is my favorite singer❤

[@HeliNoir]

Love the Bossa Nova notes! There’s no problem with Falling Behind in love, it’s like fine wine. The longer it takes to have that someone, the higher your standard gets and the quality rises too… then you end up cherishing yourself more and actually be okay with Falling Behind Hoping this makes sense and someone can relate

[@handlemonium]

Yah

[@BreakCards]

I hope you are right! I’m 31 yo I’m tired of waiting. But I feel my standards are high but are mine

[@freakpetux4452]

this is beautiful

[@shawnpang2979]

Laufey's face is just so suited for her voice and that gaze. Oh my love....

[@stevegarcia5004]

Sounds great. Love the Bossa groove.

[@penguinjennifer]

can we appreciate how talented she is!! she writes her own songs, plays them, and sings them. i love her!!!!

[@krunopii]

I love how she plays the guitar like it's a lyre and it's stunning to have that all on beat while singing.

[@aishiteruseyo]

This is trippy cuz it sounds exactly as the non-acoustic version. Talent fr fr

[@Jayspy26]

my day was already good but a new laufey acoustic cover made it even better

[@aggressivepotato9346]

Laufey is literally my comfort space, her music is so relaxing ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@Tiamaria2002]

UGH I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH GIVES ME TINGLES

[@markhonman4903]

"poking fun at yourself" - exactly what is needed in Bossa Nova lyrics... you manage to capture that wistful, self-deprecating, but also not-taking-myself-too-seriously feel that's so typical of the Portuguese lyrics by Jobim, Vinicius, etc.

[@alexcherkas9737]

i love how the most replayed part of the whole song is the beginning, so nice

[@sujeetkhadka5945]

How could she sound so bold ? And be beautiful at the same time? ❤️😭 🤯

[@shadowslightly6759]

The chromatic movement in the chorus... wooh, that just hits right!!! Another great song, can't wait for the album

[@jdmcarrer1077]

Your face while you're singing is beautiful.

i like how it is oldies style

[@blakewoods668]

This song has been on repeat on every platform I have because its so good. I started getting back into music by listening to your music

[@tomhazelton3070]

I just played this song with my 15-year-old guitar/music student at an open mic night tonight. I played guitar. She sang this and killed! She's the one who turned me on to your music, which I absolutely love! Keep up the great work. This was exquisite.

[@RobPizzaSauce]

My niece introduced me to this song and to you in general and this song literally made me cry as I heard it for the first time, and basically every time since this. It speaks so much to the way my lack of a love life has gone so far and many of the feelings I’ve had. Thanks for this amazing song!

[@patricegalligani631]

Merci pour ce moment jazzy, chaque fois que je t'écoutes, il y a comme un cocon de bonnes vibrations autour de moi.

I love the Bossa nova feel. Another great track. Looking forward to the CD.

[@ashleyw672]

What a beautiful voice and song, I'm so excited for the album!!! Imagining the day she sings with Michael Bublé-two modern day jazz singers colliding!

Buble is a broken down lounge act! Hahahaha

THIS IS SUCHH A GOOOD SONGG. LUV YOUU LAUFEY!

[@BeachJazzMusic]

I think I love when you do this the most. There's something so raw and innocent about it. Anyone can sound great in the studio but to sound the way you do live in your bedroom is quite a different story.♥♥♥

[@andyzzz213]

Beautiful. Always love the acoustic versions of your song better. Not that your team doesn't do an amazing job producing and mastering. But nothing beats your pure acoustic vocals and some nice guitar,violin or piano. Wonder if you'll ever see this. Anyways love it as always

Absolutely astounding. I can’t get enough. I’m so glad I came across your music. Your voice is chilling and thrilling.

[@rickyhermawan8014]

As a fan of bossanova, my days always filled with it everyday. And yours brings tear of joy to me. And you reminds me of the legend catarina valente. Keep do more bossa please. Love from Malaysia.

[@bluepineapple1122]

letsssssss goooooooooo

[@MrGreenAKAguci00]

Please release these acoustic versions too. They are a treat. I feel like I'm just sitting in a room and you are playing it for me and I'm convinced that everyone feels that way while listening to these. They are somewhat raw and unfiltered but that makes them authentic. For me they definitely fall into the cool and unpretentious sprezzatura. It feels like you are showcasing your genius specifically for whoever is listening and without any effort, but you are a bit shy to do it. They feel intimate, cosy and personal, please don't let them stay only on you tube.

[@samabiva3097]

Just so brilliant.

[@deri7869]

She poured her heart into this ❤

[@harambewascooi2987]
