Just Like Heaven
(Track: 07) The Watson Twins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The one that makes me scream, she said
The one that makes me laugh, she said
Threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it?
And I promise you
I promise that I'll run away with you
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face, I kissed her head
Dreamed of all the different ways
I had to make her glow
Why are you so far away? She said
Why won't you ever say
That I'm in love with you?
Yeah, I'm in love with you
You soft and only, you lost and lonely
You strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water, you're just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
I moved my lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
Found myself alone, alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
You soft and only, you lost and lonely
You just like heaven
The Watson Twins' song "Just Like Heaven" is a melancholic yet romantic ballad that talks about a love that is lost but never forgotten. The song starts off with a question; "Show me how you do that trick?" The singer asks to be shown the trick of making her scream and laugh, something her lover used to do. The lyrics are an expression of longing for that intense love that once existed. The singer reminisces about the moments with her lover, like spinning on that dizzy edge, kissing her head and dreaming of all the different ways to make her glow. However, the mood shifts when the singer realizes that her lover is no longer with her; "why are you so far away?" she asks.
The chorus speaks to the unique qualities of the lover, who is described as "soft and only," "lost and lonely," and "strange as angels." The lyrics paint a picture of a person who's hard to forget, someone who's just like heaven. The final verse is where the singer comes to terms with the loss of her lover. She expresses sorrow and how the memory of her lover is still with her even in the midst of a raging sea. The song ends on a melancholic note as the singer reflects on her lost love.

Show me how you do that trick?
Tell me how you make me feel this way
The one that makes me scream, she said
The one that fills me with intense emotion and desire
The one that makes me laugh, she said
The one that makes me feel happy and alive
Threw her arms around my neck
Embraced me tightly
Show me how you do it?
Let me experience the overwhelming feelings you give me
And I promise you
I vow
I promise that I'll run away with you
I'll escape reality with you
Spinning on that dizzy edge
Lost in a moment of immense passion and uncertainty
I kissed her face, I kissed her head
I embraced her with love and tenderness
Dreamed of all the different ways
Imagined numerous possibilities
I had to make her glow
I wanted to make her feel happy and special
Why are you so far away? She said
Why do you seem distant and unapproachable?
Why won't you ever say
Why do you refuse to express
That I'm in love with you?
That I have intense feelings of love for you?
Yeah, I'm in love with you
Yes, I truly love you
You soft and only, you lost and lonely
You're gentle and unique, but also adrift and alone
You strange as angels
You are peculiar and unique, like heavenly beings
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Joyfully moving through the uncertain unknowns of life
Twisting in the water, you're just like a dream
Navigating the unpredictable with ease, like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape
I awoke to reality
I must have been asleep for days
I was lost in a fantasy for an extended period of time
I moved my lips to breathe her name
I longed for her deeply
I opened up my eyes
I became aware of the truth
Found myself alone, alone
Realized I was alone
Alone above a raging sea
By myself, over tumultuous emotions
That stole the only girl I loved
That took away the person I loved the most
And drowned her deep inside of me
Caused me intense emotional pain and loss
You soft and only, you lost and lonely
You're gentle and unique, but also adrift and alone
You just like heaven
You bring me joy and happiness, like paradise

Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream she said
The one that makes me laugh she said
Threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it and I'll promise you
I'll promise that I'll run away with you, I'll run away with you
Spinning on that dizzy edge
Kissed her face and kissed her head
Dreamed of all the different ways, I had to make her glow
Why are you so far away she said
Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you?
That I'm in love with you?
You, soft and only, you lost and lonely
You, strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone, alone, alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved and drowned her deep inside of me
You soft and only
You lost and lonely
You just like heaven

This song reminds me of my sweet little 4 pound baby named blue. Best doggie ever. In all the places where says you, I would just say blue and sang it to him in his last days. I kissed his face and kissed his head. He was just like a dream. He is forever in my heart and drowns deep inside my of me ❤
