Like Someone in Love
Georges Shearing 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,
Georges Shearing's "Like someone in love" is a song that centers around the intense feelings of love and being in love. The opening lines of the song, "Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars, Hearing guitars like someone in love" signify the dreamy state of falling in love. The singer is overwhelmed by a feeling that is so strong, that he finds himself observing everything around him in a new light.
The lyrics continue, "Sometimes the things I do astound me, Mostly whenever you're around me." This signifies how the singer is surprised by himself because he is acting in a manner that he had never thought he could ever act. The theme of being out of control is echoed in the line "Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings, Bump into things like someone in love."
The singer then admits that every time he looks at his lover, he feels weak and helpless, "Each time I look at you, I'm limp as a glove, And feeling like someone in love." These final lines succulently bring out the feelings of being in love, the helplessness that one goes through, and also how it changes the singer's perspective towards life.

Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars,
Recently, I've been going outside to look at the stars
Hearing guitars like someone in love.
Whenever I hear music played on a guitar, I feel as though I'm in love.
Sometimes the things I do astound me,
There are moments where I surprise myself with my own actions or decisions.
Mostly whenever you're around me.
This usually happens when you're near me.
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings,
Recently, I've been walking like I'm flying
Bump into things like someone in love.
I accidentally run into things, like I'm not fully aware of my surroundings.
Each time I look at you,
Every time I see your face,
I'm limp as a glove,
I become weak in the knees
And feeling like someone in love.
I feel like I'm completely and deeply in love with you.
