Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah now I know, I know you're mine, for you are not leavin'
I hear your shinin', I feel your poundin'
Now your mine, you're mine again
Swear you'll never leave me
In my mind I hear the song
You didn't mean to make it real
But couldn't drown my feelin'
I hear your cryin', I feel your whinin'
Now you're mine, you're mine again
Swear you'll never leave me
Oh oh Jerome, oh oh Jerome
I'm screamin' at nothin' Jerome
You got me for nothin' Jerome
Drawn aback, your on my mind your name is in my ceilin'
And how I know I know you're mine, for you are not leaving
I hear your shinin', I feel your poundin'
Now your mine, you're mine again
Swear you'll never leave me
Oh oh Jerome, oh oh Jerome
Oh oh Jerome, oh oh Jerome
I'm screamin' at nothin' Jerome
You got me for nothin' Jerome
Oh oh Jerome, oh oh Jerome
I'm screamin' at nothin' Jerome
You got me for nothin' Jerome
In "Jerome," Lykke Li sings about being in love with someone named Jerome who is constantly on her mind. She believes that Jerome belongs to her and won't leave her, and she hears his voice and feels his presence even when he's not there. Li uses imagery to describe the sound of Jerome's voice and his heartbeat, saying she hears his shining and feels his pounding.
The lyrics suggest that Li is not entirely sure if Jerome feels the same way about her, as she says that he "didn't mean to make it real, but couldn't drown my feeling." She also admits to screaming at nothing and feeling like Jerome got her for nothing. Despite this uncertainty, Li is still drawn to Jerome and his presence in her life, and she vows to never let him leave her.

Drawn aback, you're on my mind your name is in my ceilin'
I am surprised to find you constantly on my mind, even your name on my ceiling
Yeah now I know, I know you're mine, for you are not leavin'
I realize that you belong to me and will not leave
I hear your shinin', I feel your poundin'
I sense your glow and your heartbeat
Now your mine, you're mine again
I have regained ownership of you
Swear you'll never leave me
Promise me that you will never go away
In my mind I hear the song
I have a song playing in my thoughts
It's playing while I'm dreamin'
It continues to play as I sleep
You didn't mean to make it real
You didn't intend to bring it to life
But couldn't drown my feelin'
But it failed to extinguish my emotion
I hear your cryin', I feel your whinin'
I can sense your sadness and complaints
Oh oh Jerome, oh oh Jerome
Repeatedly calling out the name Jerome
I'm screamin' at nothin' Jerome
Yelling at nothing in particular, possibly due to frustration or heartache
You got me for nothin' Jerome
You have me without any good reason
