Felt
Clean Cut Kid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vibrations running through my veins and moving my hips
Filling me up from my feet to the grooves in my fingerprints
Heartbeat skipping, tripping over my words
And my mind keeps replaying all the phrases I've heard
'Cause I'm swallowed up by the touch of somebody new

I felt it for you
I felt it for you
I felt it for you
I felt it for you
I felt it for you

When I'm lying in my bed I see the outline of your head where you used to lie
In the corner by the door, there's a t-shirt on the floor that you left behind, when you said goodbye
Time runs away with me and I'm losing track
Picturing you here and it's taking me back
To a time before my heart was broken and blue

I felt it for you
I felt it for you
I felt it for you
I felt it for you
I felt it for you

Vibrations running through my veins (I felt it for you, I felt it for you)
Filling me up from my feet (I felt it for you, I felt it for you)

Years went by in a blink of an eye
Finally got you out of my life
Found a cool girl who loves me
Are you still thinking of me?
We were so young and different then
What would you do if you saw me again?
Would you still recognize me?
Would you just walk right by me?
Well I hope you found the love in the heart of someone new
I hope you found the love so true

I felt it for you
I felt it for you
I felt it for you




I felt it for you
I felt it for you

Overall Meaning

The song "Felt" by Clean Cut Kid is about the experience of falling in and out of love. The first verse describes the feeling of being with someone new, where every touch and movement creates a powerful sensation in the body, causing the singer to think about the phrases and words that this new love interest has said to them. It's a vulnerable space to be in, a place where the singer feels swallowed up, becoming overwhelmed with the novelty of the situation. The repetition of the lyrics, "I felt it for you," is a way to emphasize the intensity of this moment and how powerful the feeling of falling for someone can be.


In the second verse, the singer is alone and is haunted by the memory of the person they loved, with memories running around their mind, taking them back to a time before their heart was broken and blue. The singer's mind brings up images of the person who left them, seeing their outline in their bed, and their t-shirt on the floor in the corner by the door, which they left behind when they said goodbye. The line "time runs away with me, and I'm losing track" could be interpreted that the singer has been reminiscing for so long that they have lost the actual sense of time and their present-day surroundings.


In the final verse, the singer has moved on, but the memory of the past still lingers, wondering if the former love interest still thinks of them. However, the singer has found someone new that loves them and is happy with the current situation. The lyrics "I hope you found the love so true" are a subtle message to the former love interest that they would like them to find someone that can love as wholeheartedly as the singer can.

I hope my ex-lover has found happiness and love with someone else.


I hope you found the love so true
I hope that the love my ex-lover has found is authentic and genuine.
