I Love You
Woodkid Lyrics

Where the light shivers offshore
The singer is describing the location of where they are, which is near the shore where the light is shaking in a noticeable way.

Through the tides of oceans
The singer is describing the vicinity where they are in the context of the tide of the sea.

We are shining in the rising sun
The person speaking and someone else are in a place where the sun is rising, and they are 'shining' - likely either meaning that they are radiating with light or that they feel good/positive in this moment.

As we are floating in the blue
The two in this context are presently floating and surrounded by blue of some kind - probably the sea.

I am softly watching you
The artist is observing the other person carefully and subtly.

Oh boy, your eyes betray what burns inside you
The singer is addressing a male using the informal term 'boy', and notes that his eyes are revealing what he is passionate about and care about.

Whatever I feel for you
The person speaking is starting a thought to express their emotions.

You only seem to care about you
As the person speaking has a feeling for the addressed individual, they note that the other person only appears to care about themselves.

Is there any chance you could see me, too?
The artist is asking if there's any way for the other person to take notice or consideration of them as well.

'Cause I love you
The artist confirms that their strong emotion and feelings for the addressed individual is love.

Is there anything I could do
The person speaking is asking in case there is any action or behavior they can adjust to get attention or heed from the addressed individual who only think or care about themselves.

Just to get some attention from you?
The intended outcome is to eventually get some kind of attention, which is what the artist needs and seeks from the addressed individual.

In the waves, I've lost every trace of you
The singer is saying that they have searched but cannot find or detect the addressed person anymore in the waves (possibly literally or metaphorically referring to the movement of the sea)

Where are you?
The singer inquires where the person they seek attention from is, having lost track of their location, presence, or attention.

After all I drifted ashore
The singer is explaining that they finally ended up drifting ashore, likely from their journey lost in or near the sea.

Through the streams of oceans
The artist is following up on the reference to the sea, indicating that they traveled through or across many streams or channels of the sea.

Whispers wasted in the sand
The artist is metaphorically saying that what they said or tried to convey as subtle implications, intuitions or innuendoes to the person they love or seek attention from was put out but the meaning was lost, wasted or did not transmit effectively.

As we were dancing in the blue
The singer is referencing a shared experience of dancing or doing something else enjoyable while being in or around the sea.

I was synchronized with you
The singer is saying they felt in sync or in tune with the addressed individual at that previous moment.

But now the sound of love is out of tune
The artist uses a musical metaphor to paint the picture of them being 'out of sync;' the essence of love that they felt has been interrupted, disrupted or tainted.
