That Gets Me
Lonestar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As you sit there unaware of how beautiful you are
It's the music that I always seem to hear
When you bring yourself to tears from laughing way too hard
And when we're slowly dancing and you slip off your shoes
Don't you know, baby, just like everything you do
[Chorus]
Right here inside this heart of mine
You open up your world and lay your love out on the line
That gets me; that just gets me every time
It's the way you say your prayers before you sleep
Then you curl up next to me and we hold each other close
And you tell me with your eyes that you'll never let me go
And that may be the moment that I love the most
When you make me feel like no other man exists
And when I taste the power and surrender of your kiss
[Chorus]
Right here inside this heart of mine
You open up your world and lay your love out on the line
That gets me; that just gets me every time
Oh, that gets me; that just gets me every time
That gets me
It's the way you twist a curl into your hair
As you sit there unaware of how beautiful you are
It's the way you say your prayers before you sleep
Then you curl up next to me
Oh, that gets me
That gets me
The lyrics of Lonestar's "That Gets Me" express deep affection and admiration for the singer's partner. The singer finds themselves falling more in love with their partner every time they witness little idiosyncrasies and quirks that make their partner who they are. They find beauty in the way their partner spins a curl in their hair or when their partner laughs so hard they cry. When they dance with their partner and their partner slips off their shoes, it reminds the singer of all the small things their partner does that they adore. The singer also loves the way their partner says their prayers before bed and cuddles up close to them. These are the moments the singer treasures the most, and it's the vulnerability and openness that their partner shows that just gets them every time.
The song's chorus reinforces the idea that it's these little things that make the singer's heart swell with love. When their partner opens up to them and shares their world and love, the singer can't help but be affected by it. It's clear that the singer is head-over-heels in love with their partner and cherishes every moment with them. The beauty of this song is that the lyrics express how love is found in the small moments and peculiarities of who we are, rather than in grand gestures or sweep-me-off-my-feet romantic encounters.
Overall, "That Gets Me" is a beautiful love song that captures the subtleties of relationships and the things we find endearing in the person we love. It's a reminder to appreciate the details and nuances in our partner that make them unique and special.
