Like Someone in Love
Van Heusen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's strange, a real mystery.
Maybe you see it.
If you do see it
What on earth can it be?
Lately I find myself out gazing at stars,
Hearing guitars like someone in love.
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
And feeling like someone in love.
Lately I find myself out gazing at stars,
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
And feeling like someone in love.

This change I feel puzzles me.
I am confused and intrigued by the shift in my emotions.
It's strange, a real mystery.
It is unusual and unknown to me.
Maybe you see it.
Perhaps you are able to perceive it.
If you do see it,
In the case that you do observe it,
What on earth can it be?
What could possibly be the cause of this?
Lately I find myself out gazing at stars,
Recently, I catch myself staring at the stars,
Hearing guitars like someone in love.
Hearing the sounds of guitars as if I were in love.
Sometimes the things I do astound me,
Occasionally, my own actions surprise me,
Mostly whenever you're around me.
Especially when you are in my presence.
Lately I seem to walk as though I had wings,
Lately, it feels like I am walking with wings on my feet,
Bump into things like someone in love.
Accidentally collide with objects, like someone who is in love.
Each time I look at you I'm limp as a glove
Every time I gaze at you, I become weak and powerless
And feeling like someone in love.
And experiencing the emotions of being in love.
