Song Notes
I always wanted ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tre! to be our power-pop Exile on Main Street, and I understand it sounds a bit stiff and the production isn’t great. I love those songs, but a lot of it feels half-baked. It was a weird time. I sort of had my own private nervous breakdown. Well, it wasn’t really private. I think it was just a lot of exhaustion. There’s, like, 36 songs on that album. It’s insane. But when I revisit it, 'Fell for You' is what stands out. I was listening to a lot of power-pop music. I always say that power pop is the greatest music on Earth that no one likes, whether it’s something like Cheap Trick or another band. That was like, 'Let’s just write a gooey bubblegum song about dreams and love and crushes and all the stuff that kind of keeps us alive.'
Those things never really stop as you get older. You always come across people that you want to spend time with, but you have to be realistic about it. When you’re a kid, it’s OK to be more impulsive. When you grow up, it can cause a lot of wreckage in your life, so it’s best to maybe write a song about it.

Lyrics
I woke up in a pool of sweat
At first, I thought that I pissed the bed
All the stars in the midnight hour
A kiss of death from the Eiffel Tower
And 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, crash into you
Did you crash in my imagination too?
Break a leg and you crushed my heart
I'm a mess and you're a work of art
Count your blessings, going zero to five
Steal a kiss and I took a dive
And 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, crash into you
Did 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, oh-oh
