It's Me
Hearts Lyrics

Two good friends
The song starts by describing the setting for the story that the singer is about to share. Two good friends are hanging out on a Friday night.

Friday night
The specific night of the week when the events of the story take place.

A chick flick in the VCR
The friends are watching a movie, which the singer describes as a 'chick flick'. It is implied that this type of movie is not usually preferred by one friend in particular.

I watched you
The singer is observing his friend's reaction to the movie they are watching.

Roll your eyes
The friend in question is not enjoying the movie and rolls their eyes.

And knew I'd have to twist your arm when you said 'You expect a guy like me to sit and watch this mushy stuff!
The friend expresses their dislike for the movie and the singer knows they will have to convince them to keep watching.

They always fall in love when they first meet That never happens to folks like us.'
The friend expresses a cynical view of love, believing that it is unrealistic and does not happen in real life.

But I just sat there and grinned Tried not to laugh out loud cause I remember when
The singer responds to his friend's comment with a knowing grin because he has experienced something similar himself. He remembers feeling the same way.

It happened to me just a few months back In the middle of the week and just like that Got weak in the knees A little short of breath Man I had it bad and boy I bet It would blow your mind if you only knew It happened to me When I met you
The singer reveals that he has fallen in love just a few months prior to the events of the story. He vividly describes the physical and emotional sensations he experienced when he met the person he fell in love with. He suggests that if his friend only knew, it would surprise him.

I heard you say You're not like me You don't believe in fairy tales
The singer recalls his friend expressing a similar cynical view of love, suggesting that he is not the type to believe in 'fairy tales'.

I bit my tongue Didn't speak I sat there thinking to myself that I used to feel the way you feel I thought Love was fake and make-believe right up until
The singer does not argue with his friend's view but keeps his feelings to himself. He reflects on his own past views on love, admitting that he used to feel the same way as his friend.

It happened to me just a few months back In the middle of the week and just like that Got weak in the knees A little short of breath Man I had it bad and boy I bet It would blow your mind if you only knew It happened to me When I met you
The singer repeats the same verse as before, emphasizing how strongly he felt when he fell in love. He makes it clear that he fell in love with his friend, who is listening to the song.

I used to feel the way you feel I thought Love was fake and make-believe right up until
The singer reiterates his previous point about how he used to share his friend's views on love.

It happened to me just a few months back In the middle of the week and just like that Got weak in the knees A little short of breath Man I had it bad and boy I bet It would blow your mind if you only knew It happened to me When I met you When I met you You When I met you You When I met you
The song ends with a repetition of the same verse, underscoring the importance of the moment when the singer fell in love with his friend. The use of 'you' directly addresses the friend, who is the object of the singer's affection throughout the song.
