Like Someone in Love

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,

Line by Line Meaning
Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars,
Recently, I often find myself staring at the stars outside,
Hearing guitars like someone in love.
with a feeling similar to being in love, I begin to hear music in my head
Sometimes the things I do astound me,
I am amazed and surprised by the things I do sometimes
Mostly whenever you're around me.
It happens mostly when you are nearby me
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings,
It seems that I am walking on air, and I feel as though I had wings
Bump into things like someone in love.
Without paying attention to anything around me, I bump into things like a person in love
Each time I look at you,
Every time I look at you,
I'm limp as a glove,
I become weak and helpless, like a limp glove
And feeling like someone in love.
I experience emotions similar to being in love
