Autumning in love
$begingroup$
Yes, I'm afraid it's true - I'm autumning in love.
My life is in a menu choice; I'm ready to go.
I've never felt this before - it's so true, so pitch.
Now I'm trying to keep my head not odd on my shoulders,
But it's so alter hard when I see your smile.
You make it so partially cooked to be comfortable.
Everything seems so perfect; so perpendicular.
Thank you.
More tags/hints will be added as needed.

As Soltius has observed,
the idea is to replace words with other equivalents.
And as Brandon_J has indicated in comments,
we are supposed to feel free to use things that merely sound right.
Specifically, here are the words we need:
Yes, I'm afraid it's true - I'm autumning in love. autumning falling
My life is in a menu choice, I'm ready to go. a menu choice order
I've never felt this before - it's so true, so pitch. pitch reel/real*
Now I'm trying to keep my head not odd on my shoulders, not odd even
But it's so alter hard when I see your smile. alter vary/very*
You make it so partially cooked to be comfortable. partially cooked easy
Everything seems so perfect; so perpendicular. perpendicular right
I have marked the homophones with asterisks. The second word is Soltius's suggestion (he also thought up #5 which I hadn't thought of, and #7 for which I had a different, and worse, idea; go give him an upvote). So the final answer we want is FOR EVER. Awwwwwww.

Partial. With the following method
For each line, replacing one weird word/word group by one that would be a better semantical (and sometimes, gramatical) fit
We get the following words :
(1) falling, (2) item, (3) sound ?, (4) even, (5) vary(very) ?, (6) rare?, (7) right.
Not sure what to make of it for now.
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
Pretty sure that of those #1 is right, #2 is wrong, #4 is right, #6 is wrong. (#3 is plausible; I hope #5 is wrong but suspect it might be right; I had a different guess for #7 but yours is probably better.)

The reasons don't have anything to do with how well your proposed word fits the space. I'm thinking about how the final answer might work.
