It's Like That With You
Eric Saade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's something I just can't describe
To get to a moment like this
Some people wait all of their life
I always thought in the end
To love just meant to get hurt
But sometimes you've just gotta feel
And that's how you know it's real
'Cause there are times I just look at the cover
And there are times when I wanna read what's inside
And then there are times when it feels like I wrote every line
It's like that with you
I used to say it won't last
As soon as the promise was made
And here I am, moving too fast
But I ain't no longer afraid
'Cause somehow you just made me feel
And that's why I know it's real
'Cause there are times when I can't find the answers
And there are times when I wonder what life's about
And times when I feel like I finally figured it out
It's like that with you
Baby you know that it's true
Do you feel it too
The beat of my pounding heart
I bet it's shining through
When I'm with you
'Cause there are times I just look at the cover
And there are times when I wanna read what's inside
And then there are times when it feels like I wrote every line
'Cause there are times when I can't find the answers
And there are times when I wonder what life's about
And times when I feel like I finally figured it out
It's like that with you
It's like that with you
But sometimes the way that I feel can't be put into words
It's like that with you
The lyrics in "It's Like That With You" by Eric Saade speak about a deep connection that he shares with someone special. He starts by describing how he can't fully explain how he feels when he looks into the eyes of this person. He believes that some people wait their whole lives to experience a moment like this. Eric used to think that love meant getting hurt, but now he understands that you need to feel in order to know that it's real.
He goes on to explain that this person makes him feel differently, and he no longer thinks that their relationship won't last. Instead, he feels like they're moving too fast, but he's not afraid because this person makes him feel a way he's never felt before. The chorus talks about how Eric sometimes just looks at the cover, but sometimes he wants to read what's inside. Other times, he feels like he wrote every line himself, and this is how he knows it's real.
The final lines of the song highlight that sometimes the feelings we experience are too strong to put into words. Eric is trying to express that his connection with this person is something he can't quite describe because it surpasses regular speech. Overall, the song speaks about how he has found someone special who has given him a new perspective on love and life.
