Love Call
S.O.D.A. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hear singing and there's no one there
I smell blossoms and the trees are bare
All day long I seem to walk on air
I wonder why, I wonder why

I keep tossing in my sleep at night
And what's more I've lost my appetite
Stars that used to twinkle in the skies
Are twinkling in my eyes, I wonder why

You don't need analyzing
It is not so surprising
That you feel very strange but nice
Your heart goes pitter patter
I know just what's the matter
Because I've been there once or twice

Put your head on my shoulder
You need someone who's older
A rub down with a velvet glove
There is nothing you can take
To relieve that pleasant ache
You're not sick, you're just in love

I hear singing and there's no one there
You don't need analyzing, it is not so surprising
I smell blossoms and the trees are bare
That you feel very strange but nice
All day long I seem to walk on air
Your heart goes pitter patter, I know just what's the matter
I wonder why, I wonder why
Because I've been there once or twice

I keep tossing in my sleep at night
Put your head on my shoulder, you need someone who's older
And what's more I've lost my appetite
A rub down with a velvet glove
Stars that used to twinkle in the skies
There is nothing you can take
Are twinkling in my eyes
To relieve that pleasant ache




I wonder why
You're not sick you're just in love

Overall Meaning

In the second stanza, the person admits that they are having trouble sleeping and eating, which are common symptoms of falling in love. They also mention that the stars they used to admire now seem to be shining only for them. The chorus reassures the listener that these feelings are common and doesn't need to be analyzed. The person singing offers a shoulder to lean on and a velvet glove rub down to ease the pleasant ache of being in love.
