Just Like Heaven
Katie Melua攀 Lyrics

Show me how you do that trick
He's asking her to show him how she makes him feel so alive.

The one that makes me scream he said
He's asking her to perform the trick that makes him feel so alive to the point of screaming it out.

The one that makes me laugh he said
He's asking her to perform the trick that brings him joy to the point of laughing out loud.

And threw his arms around my neck
He expresses his excitement and enthusiasm by hugging her tightly around her neck.

Spinning on that dizzy edge
She's feeling exhilarated and on top of the world.

I kissed his face and kissed his head
She showers him with affection by kissing his face and head tenderly.

And dreamed of all the different ways I had
She is fantasizing about all the ways she can make him happy.

To make him glow
She wants to make him feel radiant and fulfilled.

Why are you so far away? he said
He's expressing his longing for her to be closer to him.

Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
He's frustrated that she doesn't seem to understand or reciprocate his feelings for her.

You, soft and only
She sees him as gentle and delicate, with no one else like him.

You, lost and lonely
She perceives him as feeling isolated and craving companionship.

You, strange as angels
She thinks of him as ethereal and otherworldly, with a mysterious charm.

Dancing in the deepest oceans
She sees him moving gracefully and effortlessly in the vast expanse of emotions and experiences.

Twisting in the water
She pictures him turning and moving fluidly in the currents of life.

You're just like a dream
She considers him an ideal person who seems too good to be true, just like a dream.

Daylight licked me into shape
She's saying that the light of day has re-energized and reinvigorated her.

I must have been asleep for days
She realizes that she's been out of touch with reality and preoccupied with her dreams and fantasies.

And moving lips to breathe his name
She's mouthing his name in her sleep, consumed by her feelings for him.

I opened up my eyes
She snapped out of her dream-like state and became conscious of reality.

And found myself alone alone
She realized she's been alone this whole time and is now feeling lonely.

Alone above a raging sea
She's using the metaphor of a raging sea to describe her turbulent emotions.

That stole the only boy I loved
She feels like her intense emotions have taken away the one person she loves.

And drowned him deep inside of me
She's consumed and overwhelmed by her love for him to the point of feeling like he's a part of her that's drowned.

You, just like heaven
She believes that he's like a dreamy paradise, the ideal place of happiness and contentment.
