Someone Like You
Tenille Lyrics

You walked in an hour ago
The person being addressed entered the room sixty minutes prior

With that hey what's your name look
They displayed body language and/or facial expressions that implied interest in the singer

Turn to
The focus or attention shifted to a new subject or activity

Sipping drinks, talking
Engaging in conversation and consuming beverages simultaneously

And feeling more sparks than a matchbook
Experiencing intense chemistry or attraction

Now we're on the dance floor dancing
The two individuals have moved from conversation to physical movement, specifically dancing

Dancing around it
There is an underlying tension or unspoken question that is being avoided

Don't know where this thing is heading
Uncertainty about the future or direction of the relationship

But now that we found it
Despite the uncertainty, there is contentment or satisfaction in the present moment

Don't you wanna figure out
A question posed to the other individual to gauge their level of interest

How it feels to put your lips on mine?
Expressing desire to engage in physical intimacy with the other person

Looking like you're wondering
Suggesting that the other person is also considering physical intimacy

If I'm thinking what you're thinking tonight
Wondering if the other person is mentally aligned with the current mood or vibe

Is this a mistake under neon lights
Questioning the authenticity or likelihood of the situation

Or the last first kiss for the rest of your life?
Contemplating the significance or potential longevity of the upcoming physical interaction

We could let the moment go (moment go)
Suggesting that the opportunity for physical intimacy could be lost if not acted upon

But wouldn't you, wouldn't you, wouldn't you like to know?
A rhetorical question implying that the other person is also curious about the outcome

If I got a tattoo
Beginning a hypothetical scenario or thought experiment

Hidden under this little black Johnny Cash tee
Providing specific details about the hypothetical tattoo

Would I look good
Asking for the other person's opinion about appearance or aesthetic

On the way to your mamas in your shotgun seat
Continuing the hypothetical scenario by describing a specific setting or scenario

Wouldn't you like to know
Revisiting the previous line's rhetorical question to encourage further and deeper thought

My number or if I got a ride home?
Offering alternative details that the other person may be curious about

Why it feels so right when you holding me close?
Asking for an explanation or clarification about the emotional and physical connection between the two individuals

So, don't you wanna figure out
Returning to the central theme of the song, urging the other person to explore the possibility of physical intimacy

How it feels to put your lips on mine? (Put your lips on mine)
Repeating a previous line for emphasis

Looking like you're wondering
Reinforcing the idea that the other person is also considering physical intimacy

If I'm thinking what you're thinking tonight (what you're thinking tonight)
Recalling a previous line to continue building a sense of shared desire

Or the last first kiss for rest of your life?
Repeating another line from earlier in the song, emphasizing its importance

We could the let moment go (moment go)
Repeating another line for emphasis

But wouldn't you, wouldn't you, wouldn't you like to know?
Repeating another line for emphasis, drawing the song to a close

Wouldn't you like to know?
Finalizing the theme of curiosity and desire, suggesting that the other person should act on their feelings
