I wrote “feelings” when I unexpectedly fell madly in love w/ someone and I was trying to convince them to dive in with me. I’m single now but the song will forever remind me of the most in love I’ve ever felt. - Lauv shared via Instagram
"'I think this might be the only song on the album that I mixed myself. It was one of my babies, so I was very protective about how I wanted it to sound. One of my best friends, Jaime—she helps me a lot on the A&R side—she was like, ‘Oh, I know this amazing producer who can help you on the song.’ So I met him, and that same day, we were just vibin’. His girlfriend, another amazing songwriter named Andrea, she came in, and just by chance, we wrote ‘Feelings’ in an hour. I was just not expecting that. It’s about when you’re on the edge with someone new and it’s like, ‘Come on, let’s just go for it.’" – Lauv via Apple Music

Lauv Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For you, for you?
'Cause it's gettin' late, would you like to stay?
Ah, 'cause I'm bad at readin' signs
But I, I wanna do whatever you wanna do
If you wanted to, girl, we could cross that line
Know we've been friends and love only knows broken ends
Mm, mm
Mm, 'cause feelings are hard to find
Mm, mm
Mm, feelings are hard
But I feel 'em in my chest, a tiny war within
But when I pull you closer, girl, I can't explain
But I, I wanna do whatever you wanna do
If you wanted to, girl, we could cross that line
Know we've been friends and love only knows broken ends
Yeah, that's what you said, but girl, let me change your mind
Mm, mm
Mm, 'cause feelings are hard to find
Mm, mm
Mm, feelings are hard, yeah
And I know, and I know that it hurts sometimes
That it hurts sometimes when I'm with you
And I know, and I know that it hurts sometimes
That it hurts sometimes, but I miss you
And I know, and I know that it's on your mind
That it's on your mind when I kiss you
But I wanna do whatever you wanna do
I wanna do whatever you wanna do
If you wanted to, girl, we could cross that line
Know we've been friends and love only knows broken ends
Yeah, that's what you said, but girl, let me change your mind
Mm, mm
Mm, 'cause feelings are hard to find
Mm, mm
Mm, feelings are hard to find, yeah
In Lauv's song "Feelings," he expresses his inner turmoil regarding whether his love for someone is too much or just enough. He's bad at reading signs and doesn't know if the other person feels the same way. Lauv says he wants to do whatever the other person wants to do, even if it means crossing the line between friendship and love. He knows love can lead to broken ends, but he still wants to change the other person's mind.
The chorus of the song talks about how feelings are hard to find, which could mean that it's difficult to gauge the other person's emotions or perhaps Lauv struggles with expressing his own feelings. He feels a "tiny war within" him when he's with the other person, but he's unable to explain the feeling he gets when he pulls them closer. The repetition of "mm, mm," and "feelings are hard" in the chorus emphasizes the complications and nuances of feelings.
In the second verse, Lauv acknowledges that being with the other person may cause pain, but he still misses them. He knows the other person may be thinking the same thing, hence the line "And I know, and I know that it's on your mind...when I kiss you." The song ends with Lauv offering to do whatever the other person wants to do, in hopes of changing their mind about their relationship.
Overall, "Feelings" showcases Lauv's vulnerability and candid emotions. The song communicates the complexities of love and relationships, as well as the internal struggles one faces when trying to express their feelings.

lyricsssss!
i just realized that if analyze my relationship patterns in a logical way.. i enter into a relationship when i'm sad then when things are over.. i always realize that my ex isn't even my type.. i think that's emotional attachment not love i mean someone fill in that emotional need when i'm vulnerable.. i only have one guy that i had a crush on before because he's good in math of investments lmao..he can understand the chikas from our classmates who speak in dialects just by connecting things and even though there are girls who explicit about their feelings for him he's not taking advantage of them.. i don't feel kilig towards him now though idk maybe because he's my friend so it's like when you're used to someone it just feels normal.. but i think that's my type cerebral and hard to get hahahaha or someone who's not into nonsense (because nowadays that's rare! 🤦🤣) and i can have interesting conversations with
i think people like me who is a fan of astrology and psychology are those who are often misunderstood at home..i always have this habit of questioning my own way of thinking and actions idk if that's normal but that's how my relationship with myself is.. that i somehow apply to other people too.. i am often curious why someone act and think a certain way.. i just find it unfair sometimes when people are quick to judge when i take time to see things from their perspective.. before i get really mad i have considered a lot of things already so when i'm mad.. i am this mad 😡 lmao
i hate injustice too.. and stupidity when i myself think that i'm dumb most of the time lol
one thing that i still don't understand why most married women (ik) are often 😡 and talk non stop like a rapper🤘
