Lie Like This
Julia Michaels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pretty right side up to
Turn me half way round
He says I'm emotionally sound
Emotionally fucked too
Now I'm all turned around
Well I got hay fever from my feelings, yet I don't
Head on your shoulder, you keep pulling me close
I'm spilling over trying not to unfold
I don't need to tell you but I'm letting you know
The truth is I can't resist
Whenever we lie like this
Held onto horses but I'm letting them go
We're right on course and never stop or go slow
I don't need to tell you but I'm letting you know
The truth is I can't resist
Whenever we lie like this
Yeah
Lie like this, lie like
Lie like this, lie like
Can't resist
Whenever we
Lie like this, lie like
Lie like this, lie like
Can't resist
He says I'm kinda too up front
When I'm driving from the backseat
So lead me where you want
He says I'm a little too hard to handle
A little too tough to get to
But beautiful once you breakthrough
He says I'm daydreaming about leaving for no reason
Well I got hay fever from my feelings, yet I don't
Head on your shoulder, you keep pulling me close
I'm spilling over trying not to unfold
I don't need to tell you but I'm letting you know
The truth is I can't resist
Whenever we lie like this
Held onto horses but I'm letting them go
We're right on course and never stop or go slow
I don't need to tell you but I'm letting you know
The truth is I can't resist
Whenever we lie like this
Yeah
Lie like this, lie like
Lie like this, lie like
Can't resist
Whenever we
Lie like this, lie like
Lie like this, lie like
Can't resist
Head on your shoulder, you keep pulling me close
I'm spilling over trying not to unfold
I don't need to tell you but I'm letting you know
The truth is I can't resist
Whenever we lie like this
Held onto horses but I'm letting them go
We're right on course and never stop or go slow
I don't need to tell you but I'm letting you know
The truth is I can't resist
Whenever we lie like this
Yeah
Lie like this, lie like
Lie like this, lie like
Can't resist
Whenever we
Lie like this, lie like
Lie like this, lie like
Can't resist
In "Lie Like This," Julia Michaels sings about the complexities of her relationship with a partner who both understands and frustrates her. The first verse speaks to her partner's ability to both uplift and confuse her, with the lyrics "He says I'm pretty upside down / Pretty right side up too / Turn me half way round / He says I'm emotionally sound / Emotionally fucked too / Now I'm all turned around." It's clear that the relationship has its ups and downs, but Michaels is both willing to be led ("So lead me where you want") and upfront about her feelings ("He says I'm kinda too up front / When I'm driving from the backseat").
The chorus is where Michaels' conflicting emotions come to a head, as she admits "The truth is I can't resist / Whenever we lie like this." She wants to let go of her worries and "spill over," but there's a sense that she's holding back ("I'm spilling over trying not to unfold"). The lyrics "Held onto horses but I'm letting them go / We're right on course and never stop or go slow" suggest that Michaels is grappling with the idea of taking risks and letting go of her inhibitions to fully embrace the relationship.

When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid – repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beaware – Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 – rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist – the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope – will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
„Your banking collapse was deliberately masterminded by the Antichrist so that when your countries needed help, he and his wicked minions would rise to rescue your countries.“
„He will wait until wars rage everywhere.
Then he will step in and create a false peace in the state of Israel by joining them with palestine in an unlikely alliance. Everyone will lavish praise on him.
He will not stop there, for he will move at a pace which will astonish many and he will negotiate peace agreements in many war-torn nations.“
"He will impress everyone with his knowledge of all things sacred.
He will recite extracts from My Teachings, which he will passionately proclaim from every secular stage in the world, until people sit up and take notice of him."

When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid – repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
The first sign - the Earth will spin faster.
The second sign concerns the sun, which will loom larger, brighter and begin to spin.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
