Same To You
The Vamps Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey girl, what's up?
What's on your mind?
Heard you moved on, at least you tried
Packed up your things and drove for miles
I had to smile
I know you can't sleep, it's half three, and you're still up
Get on the group text, bounce your ex
'Cause I messed it up

Heard you moved on, well that's a lie

Does he love like I do?
Touch like I do?
Babe, does it feel the same to you?
Does he hold you like me?
Make you feel free
Open your eyes and you will see
All of the awkward situations
Holding a hand you wish was mine
Does he love like I do?
Touch like I do?
Babe, does it feel the same, feel the same to you?

Hey girl, what's up?
I'm checking in to see if you're ready to love again
Don't have to be heavy, but you can't pretend we can stay friends
Every street sign I drive by, it takes me back
Right to the bedroom, your perfume, little black dress
You say you love me while your hand's wrapped 'round my neck
Do you miss me yet?

Does he love like I do?
Touch like I do?
Babe, does it feel the same to you?
Does he hold you like me?
Make you feel free
Open your eyes and you will see
All of the awkward situations
Holding a hand you wish was mine
Does he love like I do?
Touch like I do?
Babe, does it feel the same, feel the same to you?

To you, to you, to you, to you
Does it feel the same to you?
To you, to you, to you, to you
Feel the same

Now I can't sleep, it's past three, and I'm still up
Get on the group text, bounce my ex
'Cause you messed me up
You heard I moved on, well that's a lie
Well, that's a lie
Does it feel the same to you?

Does he love like I do?
Touch like I do?
Babe, does it feel the same to you?
Does he hold you like me?
Make you feel free
Open your eyes and you will see
All of the awkward situations
Holding a hand you wish was mine
Does he love like I do?
Touch like I do?

Babe, does it feel the same, feel the same to you?
Does it feel the same to you?

In the second verse, the singer reaches out to their former partner, checking if they are ready to love again. They acknowledge their inability to remain just friends, as every reminder of their past makes them yearn for the intimacy they once shared. The singer's hope is that their ex misses them as much as they miss them.

Throughout the song, the repeated questions about love and touch serve as a reflection of the singer's insecurity and longing for validation. They wonder if their ex's new partner can provide the same level of love, connection, and freedom that they once did. Ultimately, the singer reveals their own sleepless nights and desire to reach out to their ex.

Overall, "Same To You" captures the emotional complexity that arises from a breakup and the lingering feelings of attachment and longing for an ex.

I'm checking in to see if you're ready to love again
I'm reaching out to determine if you are prepared to embrace love once more

Don't have to be heavy, but you can't pretend we can stay friends
We don't have to burden ourselves with complicated emotions, but we can't pretend to maintain a platonic friendship

Every street sign I drive by, it takes me back
Each street sign I pass reminds me of our past experiences

Right to the bedroom, your perfume, little black dress
Straight to memories of our intimate moments, your fragrance, and the attire you wore

You say you love me while your hand's wrapped 'round my neck
You express love for me while your hand is gently holding my neck

Do you miss me yet?
Are you starting to feel a sense of longing for our past connection?

To you, to you, to you, to you
Directed at you, specifically, repeatedly

Does it feel the same to you?
Does it provide the same emotional experience for you?

Now I can't sleep, it's past three, and I'm still up
Currently, I am unable to sleep, it is past 3:00 am and I am still awake

Get on the group text, bounce my ex
Join the group conversation and discuss my former partner

'Cause you messed me up
Because you caused emotional damage to me

You heard I moved on, well that's a lie
You heard that I have moved on, but that information is false
