Rhett Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sit you down, I'll sing it to you all night long
I've had a melody in my head since she walked in here and knocked me dead
Yeah girl, you make me wanna write a song
And it goes like ooh, what I wouldn't do
To write my name on your heart, get you wrapped in my arms baby all around you
And it goes like hey, girl I'm blown away
Yeah it goes like this
Hey girl, you make me wanna drive you home
Get you outta here and get you all alone
I don't know what it is about you, baby
But I'm all messed up and it might sound crazy
But you make me wanna write a song
And it goes like ooh, what I wouldn't do
To write my name on your heart, get you wrapped in my arms baby all around you
And it goes like hey, girl I'm blown away
Yeah it starts with a smile and it ends with an all night long slow kiss
Yeah it goes like this
Lookin' at you lookin' at me that wait
Makes me wanna grab my old guitar and play
Something like ooh, what I wouldn't do
To write my name on my heart, get you wrapped in my arms baby all around you
And it goes like hey, girl I'm blown away
Yeah it starts with a smile and it ends with an all night long slow kiss
Yeah it goes like this
And it goes like ooh, and it goes like hey
And it ends with a kiss
Yeah it goes like this
Rhett Thomas's song "It Goes Like This" is a masterpiece that follows the typical romantic tropes in country music, but the lyrics are of high quality. The song's opening lines set the romantic tone, as the singer confesses that the girl he is singing to inspires him to put his emotions into words. He promises to sing to her all night long and explains how the melody came to him as soon as she stepped into the room. The singer confides that the girl has so captivated him that he wants to write a song for her. Each time he thinks of her, he has a little melody playing in his head that he can't ignore, hence calming that she makes him want to write a song.
The chorus is an enthusiastic validation of the woman's beauty and a plea for her attention. The singer tells her he would do everything in his power to win her love, signifying that he is ready to put in the effort to win her heart. He praises her with words like "blown away," and the words "ooh" and "hey" are used to create a back-and-forth dynamic between the singer and the woman. The verse carries the same sentiment, with the singer promising to take the woman home, needing to be alone with her, and admitting that she makes him a bit crazy. The bridge deviates from the romantic angle to focus on the music, but the lyrics remain powerful, reflecting the passion of the moment.
