From your own reference frame, wouldn’t earth be falling to you? Because then this’d apply to everyone, always.

Can I define my reference frame any way I want? Because if so, yes. And also no

I think better would be to include Earth’s orbit as “on earth”. This makes sense even if we expand our scope of operations to other planets

The Moon is not on Earth.

The moon and earth are “on” a shared center of gravity. It just so happens to be inside to earth, so meh, we win.
