Like A Song
Lenka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't forget you when you're gone
Your like a song
That goes around in my head
And how I regret
It's been so long
Oh what went wrong
Could it be something I said
Or just rewind
To back when I'm wrapped in your arms
All afternoon long
It's with me
The same song
You left a light on
Inside me
My love
I can remember
The way that it felt
To be holding on to you
[Chorus]
Time
Make it go faster
Or just decide
To come back to my happy heart.
Lenka's song "Like A Song" is about someone who can't forget their past lover. The metaphor of a song that's stuck in someone's head is used to describe the lingering memories and feelings of the past relationship. The chorus repeats the idea that the person is always thinking about their ex-partner, like a song that plays on repeat in their head. They express their regret and question what went wrong between them. The singer longs for time to pass quickly to forget, or even to go back in time and change something that was said or done.
This song is a reflection of how memories can be both comforting and painful, and how it's difficult to let go of something that was once so important. The lines "All afternoon long, it's with me, the same song" convey how the person can't escape their thoughts and feelings, and how the memories of the past relationship are still strong and vivid. The final lines express hope for reconciliation, with the singer describing a "happy heart" that they wish to return to, indicating genuine regret and missing their former partner.
