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 spending my time staring up at the stars in the night sky,
Hearing guitars like someone in love.
As I stand there, I can hear the sound of guitars being played, and it makes me feel as though I am deeply in love.
Sometimes the things I do astound me,
From time to time, I surprise myself with my own behavior,
Mostly whenever you're around me.
But most often it is when you are in my presence that I cannot believe my own actions.
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings,
In recent days, I have noticed that I walk with a new lightness and grace,
Bump into things like someone in love.
But I also bump into objects and obstacles along the way, just as someone in love might do when their thoughts are consumed by their beloved.
Each time I look at you,
Whenever I gaze upon your face,
I'm limp as a glove,
I feel weak and helpless,
And feeling like someone in love.
Overwhelmed by the force of my emotions, I cannot help but feel as though I am deeply, hopelessly infatuated with you.
