Chemistry
Matt Lonsdale Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think I'm falling for this girl I know
She's so amazing, met her at my last show
And now I'm crazy for her and can't let go
Oh woah oh oh no

I hope she's feeling the same way that I do
And when she sees me, she gets butterflies too
Cos there's no way that I'm gonna make it through
If our love's not true

So someone tell me now

How do I know if she feels the same?
What do I do if she just won't say?
Baby I want you, is that okay?
How do I make her see, we got the chemistry?

I asked her round and we watched a movie
But couldn't tell her what she's done to me
I hope one day that she will finally see
Oh woah oh baby

Does she like star wars? I guess the answer's no
I wish I knew more 'cause now I'm here alone
She walked out the door and then she rang my phone
I think she's got me sewn

So someone tell me now

How do I know if she feels the same?
What do I do if she just won't say?
Baby I want you, is that okay?
How do I make her see, we got the chemistry?

Does she wake up at night like I do?
Thinking of me but scared to say too
In case I say girl I don't want you
How do I make her see we got the chemistry

And I can't shake this feeling now
I hope she's figured out
She's the one for me
We got that chemistry

How do I make her see?

How do I know if she feels the same?
What do I do if she just won't say?
Baby I want you, is that okay?
How do I make her see, we got the chemistry?

Does she wake up at night like I do?
Thinking of me but scared to say too
In case I say girl I don't want you
How do I make her see we got the chemistry





I think I'm falling for this girl I know
We got the chemistry

Overall Meaning

The song "Chemistry" by Matt Lonsdale is a love song about falling for someone and trying to figure out if they feel the same way. The first verse speaks about meeting a girl at a show and being crazy for her but not wanting to let go. The second verse talks about watching a movie with her but not being able to tell her how he feels. The chorus is a plea for help, asking how to know if she feels the same way and how to make her see that they have the chemistry. The bridge tries to uncover whether the girl wakes up at night thinking of him but is too scared to say anything.


Throughout the song, the theme of not wanting to express one's feelings and the fear of rejection is prominent. The singer is looking for answers but is afraid to take action in fear of what the answer might be. The use of the phrase "chemistry" serves as a metaphor for the connection between two people, which is not something that can be seen or measured, but rather a feeling that is sensed. The song highlights the vulnerability that people feel when falling in love and not knowing if their feelings are reciprocated.
