Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothin' I'd rearrange, you're the perfect combination
Of reckless, stubborn, and affectionate
And when you tell me we're steady, I know you mean every word of it
No one's ever loved me like that
Three AM in a hospital bed, runnin' high on my meds sayin'
No one's ever loved me like that
No one's ever loved me like that
Mama cryin' 'cause your love is the kind she always wished I would find
No one's ever loved me like that
No one's ever loved me like that
When I'm a mess or at my best
You're the first thing I don't second guess
I've seen enough and I can say, you're the perfect combination
Of hectic, sexy, and irreverent
And when you tell me we're steady
I know you mean every word of it
No one's ever loved me like that
Three AM in a hospital bed, runnin' high on my meds sayin'
No one's ever loved me like that
Tell me, "No, you don't have to be strong, you're allowed to be wrong"
No one's ever loved me like that
Mama cryin' 'cause your love is the kind she always wished I would find
No one's ever loved me like that
No one's ever loved me like that

Tell me, "No, you don't have to be strong, you're allowed to be wrong"
No one's ever loved me like that
Mama cryin' 'cause your love is the kind she always wished I would find

In JP Saxe's song Like That, the artist is singing about the person he is in love with being the perfect combination of reckless, stubborn, and affectionate. He is past the point where his mind can change and he wouldn't rearrange anything about their relationship. The love they share is steady and real. The chorus reveals the depth of the love between the two. He claims that no one has ever loved him like this before. The lyrics express a level of vulnerability and trust that makes their love unique.
The first verse hints at a time when the artist was ill and in a hospital bed, being comforted by his love. The second verse says that he never second guesses his love for the person, even when he’s a mess. The chorus repeats that no one has ever loved him like they do, and even his mother acknowledges the depth of their love.
The song speaks to the power of true love and how it can change a person's life. It shows how unconditional love and acceptance can be life-changing and affirms the unique and rare nature of the love that exists between two people.
