I Like You
R.O.M. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This one's for you
Three weeks ago (Three weeks ago)
Was the last time (The last time)
I talked to you (Talked on the phone)
Now I'm feeling blue (Feelin)
But there's a sense
Of remorse
I take out my front door
And put in
A new one
One that welcomes everyone
A great big sign of love
I hope you understand (Understand)
Where I'm coming from (Comin from)
And where I wanna land
In the future (I'll be gone)
I'll be gone (Still be here waiting)
You'll still be here waiting for me
I think I left
The screen door open
The flies come in
And nest in your bedroom
In the floor
It's been a year (It's been a year)
Since I was there (I was gone)
And since
You were here
But I am happy now
Don't know why
I no longer cry (I don't know)
For you (Why)
It's just me and my room (Me and my room)
Tape deck open and my guitar (Tape deck)
In my lap
Me and Tim and a couple of drinks and (This one's for you)
Me and Tim and a couple of drinks and
Me and Tim and a couple of drinks and
A cigarette or two
Me and Tim and a couple of drinks and
Me and Tim and a couple of drinks and
Me and Tim and a couple of drinks and
Me and Tim and a couple of drinks or two (Party)
Maybe a cigarette (Never fell through)
Maybe a drink
I thought I was falling for you
But I fell through the cracks (Falling for you)
In your room (Falling for crack)
I'm lying on my back
Can't get up, that's a heart attack (On my back)
Like a turtle
Without a shell
This one's for you

Three weeks ago (Three weeks ago)
It's been a while
Was the last time (The last time)
That I spoke to you
I talked to you (Talked on the phone)
We had a phone call
Now I'm feeling blue (Feelin)

Every step (Every step)
Each move I make
I take out my front door
I leave my home
And put in
And replace it with
A new one
A new day
One that welcomes everyone
A day that invites all people
A great big sign of love
A symbol of affection
I hope you understand (Understand)
I wish you can comprehend
Where I'm coming from (Comin from)

In the future (I'll be gone)
When I'm no longer around
I'll be gone (Still be here waiting)
I won't be here
You'll still be here waiting for me
But you'll still wait for me
I think I left
I believe that I forgot
The screen door open
The door with a screen is not closed
The flies come in
Insects entered
And nest in your bedroom
And made a home in your room
In the floor
On the ground
It's been a year (It's been a year)
Since a long time ago
Since I was there (I was gone)
Since I visited
And since
And also
You were here
You haven't been around
But I am happy now
But I'm content
Don't know why
I don't understand why
I no longer cry (I don't know)
I don't shed tears anymore
For you (Why)
For your sake
It's just me and my room (Me and my room)
I'm alone with my thoughts
Tape deck open and my guitar (Tape deck)
I have my cassette player and my guitar
In my lap
On my legs
Me and Tim and a couple of drinks and (This one's for you)
Tim and I are drinking to celebrate
Me and Tim and a couple of drinks and
Tim and I are still drinking
Me and Tim and a couple of drinks and
Tim and I are having a few more drinks
Me and Tim and a couple of drinks or two (Party)
Tim and I are having a small party
Maybe a cigarette (Never fell through)
Perhaps I'll have a smoke
Maybe a drink
Maybe I'll have another drink
I thought I was falling for you
I believed that I was attracted to you
But I fell through the cracks (Falling for you)
But nothing came of it
In your room (Falling for crack)
Because of your influence
I'm lying on my back
I'm on my back
Can't get up, that's a heart attack (On my back)
I'm unable to move
Like a turtle
Like a reptile
Without a shell
Without protection
This one's for you
This song is for you
