Like Someone in Love
Corky Hale and friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hearing guitars like someone in love.
Sometimes the things I do astound me,
Mostly whenever you're around me.
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings,
Bump into things like someone in love.
Each time I look at you,
I'm limp as a glove,
The lyrics to Corky Hale and friends' song "Like Someone In Love" illustrate the feeling of being head-over-heels in love with someone. The singer describes feeling as though they are walking on air, stumbling into things, and being completely entranced whenever this person is near. The image of gazing at stars and hearing guitars suggests a romantic, dreamy quality to this love. The singer admits that their behavior can be somewhat bewildering to themselves, but ultimately they are overcome by their feelings for someone.
Overall, the song portrays the heady, almost euphoric experience of falling in love. The use of sensory imagery - hearing guitars, bumping into things - helps to convey the intensity of the singer's feelings. The shift from the first person ("I find myself...") to the second person ("Each time I look at you...") further emphasizes the central importance of the person the singer is in love with.
Line by Line Meaning
Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars,
Recently, I have developed the habit of staring at the stars,
Hearing guitars like someone in love.
When I hear the sound of guitars, I feel like I am in love.
Sometimes the things I do astound me,
Occasionally, I am surprised by my actions,
Mostly whenever you're around me.
Especially when I am in your presence.
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings,
In recent times, I feel like I am walking with wings,
Bump into things like someone in love.
I accidentally hit things because I am distracted by love.
Each time I look at you,
Whenever I glance towards you,
I'm limp as a glove,
I feel weak and powerless,
And feeling like someone in love.
As if I am deeply in love with you.
