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,

Line by Line Meaning
Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars,
Recently, I have been frequently looking up at the stars, as if in a trance-like state.
Hearing guitars like someone in love.
I feel a romantic connection in the air as I hear the strumming of guitars.
Sometimes the things I do astound me,
Occasionally, my behavior surprises even me.
Mostly whenever you're around me.
However, it is particularly when you are present that I act in unexpected ways.
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings,
In recent times, I move as if I am effortlessly floating through the air.
Bump into things like someone in love.
Occasionally, I am so lost in thought that I accidentally collide with objects as I walk by.
Each time I look at you,
Whenever I gaze upon your face,
I'm limp as a glove,
I become incredibly weak and powerless,
And feeling like someone in love.
And it is clear to me that I am deeply and truly in love with you.
