People Like Us
Hurts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel the sunrise on your face
As you're standing by the window
Feel my hand wrapped 'round your waist
As you light your cigarette

And it looks just like a scene
From an old Italian movie
And it feels like we're unique
But you know it's playing

All around the world
All around the world
People like you and me falling in love

All around the world
All around the world
People like you and me can't get enough

And then you're writing out our names
In lipstick on the mirror
And you dance towards the bed
With a little pirouette

We can cancel all our plans
We can stay up for the weekend
'Cause you're the best I've ever had
But you know they say that

All around the world
All around the world
People like you and me falling in love

All around the world
All around the world
People like you and me can't get enough

When you want something that bad
Would you beg and steal a bottle?
'Cause we want what we never had
People like us
People in love
People like us
People in love

And you know they sayin'

All around the world
All around the world
People like you and me falling in love

All around the world
All around the world
People like you and me can't get enough

People like us
People in love
People like us (people like us, people like us)
People in love (people in love, people in love)




People like us (people like us, people like us, people like us)
People like us

Overall Meaning

The Hurts song "People Like Us" paints a picture of a couple in a moment of intimacy and bliss. The singer describes feeling the warmth of the sunrise on their partner's face, holding them close as they smoke a cigarette by the window. The atmosphere is heightened with the image of the scene resembling something out of an old Italian movie. As the two continue to indulge in their private moment, they dance and play like lovers do.


But despite the uniqueness of their experience, the singer acknowledges that "people like you and me" fall in love all over the world. The song celebrates the universality of love and suggests that even in fleeting moments of joy, we are still part of a larger community. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the idea that love is a common experience that connects us all.


The final verse poses a question of the extent to which people will go to obtain something that they desire, as the singer asks if they'd "beg and steal a bottle" for it. The idea of people in love being willing to take risks is common, and the song positions the singer and their partner as part of this group of passionate individuals.


Overall, "People Like Us" is a romantic ode to love and the ways in which it connects us to one another. It highlights the beauty of individual moments while emphasizing the universality of the human experience.


Line by Line Meaning

I feel the sunrise on your face
I sense the beauty of the dawn reflected on your face


As you're standing by the window
While you are standing by the window


Feel my hand wrapped 'round your waist
Experience my hand around your waist


As you light your cigarette
While you light your cigarette


And it looks just like a scene
This moment feels like a scene


From an old Italian movie
From a classic Italian film


And it feels like we're unique
It feels like we're exclusive


But you know it's playing
But it's just a game


All around the world
Everywhere across the globe


People like you and me falling in love
People like us fall in love


People like you and me can't get enough
We, like people all over the world, can't get enough


And then you're writing out our names
And then you write out our names


In lipstick on the mirror
Using lipstick on the mirror


And you dance towards the bed
Approach the bed by dancing


With a little pirouette
And making a small spin


We can cancel all our plans
We can abandon all other plans


We can stay up for the weekend
And stay up all weekend long


'Cause you're the best I've ever had
Because you're the best sexual partner I've ever had


But you know they say that
But as they say


When you want something that bad
When you want something so badly


Would you beg and steal a bottle?
Would you beg and steal a bottle of liquor?


'Cause we want what we never had
Because we want what we've never had

People who are in love

People who are in love
