Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Lately I seem to walk as though I have 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
Feeling like someone in love
In love
