Is this correct and natural?

We were just having fun. It was hard to say who was playing who but it was all a game until it wasn't. Until things got out of hand and we fell for each other.

I would expect "when things got out of hand" to mean somebody got hurt.

How about "until we got serious/sobered up"?
