Like Someone in Love
Bjųrk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I find myself out gazing at stars
Hearing guitars
Like someone in love
Sometimes the things I do astound me
Mostly whenever you're around me
I seem to walk as though I have wings
Bump into things
Like someone in love
Each time I look at you I'm limp as a glove
And feeling like someone in love
The lyrics of Björk’s “Like Someone In Love” reveal a person who finds themselves smitten with someone they are around. The opening lines of the song “Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars and hearing guitars like someone in love” describe the act of looking up aimlessly to the sky and taking in the sounds of a distant guitar. This person is enjoying the mere presence of the person they have fallen for, finding themselves lost in the moment when they are together. The idea of feeling love is further emphasized when they describe how they walk “as though” they have wings, and bump into things, suggesting that they are distracted by thoughts of their loved one.
The chorus of the song states “Each time I look at you I’m limp as a glove and feeling like someone in love.” The persona is expressing their vulnerability around their crush, portraying themselves as weak and pliant – much like a glove. The song overall portrays the feelings of a person who has fallen head over heels in love, and how that love can often leave you feeling helpless and in awe.

"Like Someone in Love,” composed in 1944 by Jimmy Van Heusen, with lyrics by Johnny Burke, has been covered more times than one can count. It lends itself to popular standard, jazz, etc., and after 75 years, shows no sign of being forgotten.

Johnny Burke at the lyrics and Jimmy Van Heusen, to be precise with the credits. Thanks for writing them down though.
