Like Someone in Love
Rita Reys & Pim Jacobs Trio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars,
Hearing guitars like someone in love.
Sometimes the things I do astound me,
Mostly whenever you're around me.
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings,
Bump into things like someone in love.
Each time I look at you,
I'm limp as a glove,
And feeling like someone in love.





Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Like Someone in Love describe how the singer is feeling in the presence of their beloved. They express their newfound tendency to stare at the stars and listen to the sound of guitars as though they are lost in a dream-like state. The singer claims to be astonished by their own actions and emotions whenever their beloved is near. They seem to have acquired a new-found confidence in themselves, as if they are walking with wings, but also seems to be clumsy and uncoordinated, bumping into things like a love-struck fool. The singer reveals that just the mere sight of their beloved renders them weak and unable to function, equating their feeling to a limp glove. The emotion conveyed in the song is that of infatuation and the sense of being lost in the all-consuming feeling of love.


Overall, the song is a beautiful ode to the heady feeling of being swept off one's feet by love. The lyrics suggest a sense of wonder and amazement at one's own reactions and surroundings. The use of imagery such as gazing at stars and hearing guitars conveys a feeling of being blissfully unaware of everything outside of one's own emotions when in the presence of a loved one. The song celebrates the feeling of vulnerability and being consumed by love, and it is that passion that makes one feel "like someone in love."


Line by Line Meaning

Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars
Recently, I have been spending my time looking up at the stars


Hearing guitars like someone in love.
The sound of guitars makes me feel like I am in love


Sometimes the things I do astound me,
Occasionally, I surprise myself with the things I do


Mostly whenever you're around me.
This usually happens when you are near me


Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings,
Recently, it feels like I am walking with wings on my feet


Bump into things like someone in love.
I accidentally run into things because I am distracted by thoughts of love


Each time I look at you,
Every time I see you,


I'm limp as a glove,
I become weak and powerless


And feeling like someone in love.
And it feels like I am in love with you
