Rocketship Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll keep on trying to change your mind.
Hug, hug, hug me and kiss, kiss, kiss me.
Tell me, tell me, tell me you'll miss, miss, miss me.
What did you think I'd do?
The ch-ch-changes you put me through.
The sun shines brightly every day I'm without you but I love, love, love you like the way that I used to do.

The lyrics to Rocketship's song "I Love You Like the Way That I Used to Do" describe the struggles of someone trying to maintain a relationship that has grown distant. The singer wonders what they were supposed to find in the relationship, and expresses their refusal to give up on their partner. Even though they have been through difficult changes, the singer remains devoted and yearns for their partner's affection.
The repeated phrases "hug me and kiss me" and "tell me you'll miss me" demonstrate the singer's need for physical and emotional intimacy. They are seeking reassurance and affirmation to help them feel confident in the relationship again. However, their partner's actions have caused them to doubt the security of the bond and question what they can do to repair it.
The final lines of the song, "The sun shines brightly every day I'm without you but I love, love, love you like the way that I used to do," show a contrast between the singer's internal feelings and the new reality of the relationship. Although the dynamic has changed, the singer's love for their partner remains the same. They are left trying to hold onto the memory of what they once had and hoping that they can somehow restore what has been lost.
