Someone
Matthew A. Wilkinson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hadn't loved like this
I hadn't felt this in months
Or in years
But I'll try to listen to you
Can try
To fight
But I'm oceans away
Love someone like me
I'm no good for you
And what do you
See in me
I'll fade, but I'll stay for you
For you
For you
Ooh
You little thing
What have you done to my world
'Cause I'm crashing, spinning
And I let you do this to me
And I can't fight
'Cause why would you
Love someone like me
I'm no good for you
And what do you
See in me
'Cause I'll fade in a matter of days
But I'll stay
Why, why, why
Why, why, why
Hadn't loved like this
I hadn't felt this in months
Or in years
But I'll try to listen to you
Can try
To fight
I'm right here next to you

Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars,
Recently, I have been spending time outside looking up at the stars, with a feeling of wonder and awe.
Hearing guitars like someone in love.
I listen to music, particularly guitars, with intense emotion, as if I am experiencing the feeling of being in love.
Sometimes the things I do astound me,
On occasion, my actions surprise me because they are motivated by my intense feelings of love.
Mostly whenever you're around me.
These actions are specifically caused by your presence in my life.
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings,
Recently, I have felt light and free walking around as if I was weightless.
Bump into things like someone in love.
I am so consumed by my feelings of love that I become distracted and bump into things while walking.
Each time I look at you,
Every moment I lay my eyes on you...
I'm limp as a glove,
I become so overcome with emotion that I feel weak and powerless.
And feeling like someone in love.
The intensity of my feelings are so strong that I am consumed by the emotions of love.
