How Do You Love Somebody
why don't we Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every day, every night, I can only think of us
On the coast, in July, when you thought you said too much
Guess it don't always go like the stories we've been told
'Cause you're gone and you're fine, I'm laying here fucked up

Oh, I wonder
Did emotions fade with the summer
Like an ocean wave, took me under
And you left without a sound

Baby, baby, tell me how
How do you love somebody?
How do you love somebody else?
'Cause when you left I lost myself
Baby, baby, tell me how
How do you love somebody?
How do you numb the pain so well?
'Cause when you left I lost myself
How do you love somebody else?

Seven missed calls, you're really keeping your distance
I know that I tried, and givin' you what you're missin'
Stab my back, no chance to heal at all, oh, whoa

Ooh, I wonder
Did emotions fade with the summer (summer)
Like an ocean wave, took me under
And you left without a sound

Baby, baby, tell me how
How do you love somebody?
How do you love somebody else?
'Cause when you left I lost myself
Baby, baby, tell me how
How do you love somebody?
How do you numb the pain so well?
'Cause when you left I lost myself
How do you love somebody else?

I just don't get it, how you left so quick
Just fifteen minutes, now you textin' him
I just don't get how you left so quick
You broke my heart and I'm a mess again
I just don't get it, how you left so quick
Just fifteen minutes, now you textin' him
You broke my heart and I'm a mess again

How do you love somebody?
How do you love somebody else?
'Cause when you left I lost myself
Baby, baby, tell me how
How do you love somebody?
How do you numb the pain so well?
'Cause when you left I lost myself
How do you love somebody else? (Yeah)





Always go like the stories we've been told
'Cause you're gone and you're fine, I'm laying here fucked up

Line by Line Meaning

Every day, every night, I can only think of us
I constantly think about us, day and night


On the coast, in July, when you thought you said too much
I remember the moment when you felt like you said too much, on the coast in July


Guess it don't always go like the stories we've been told
Life doesn't always follow the fairy tales we've been told


'Cause you're gone and you're fine, I'm laying here fucked up
You're okay without me, but I'm a mess without you


Oh, I wonder
I'm curious


Did emotions fade with the summer
Did your feelings for me fade with the passing of the summer?


Like an ocean wave, took me under
I was swept away, like an ocean wave


And you left without a sound
You left me without a word


Baby, baby, tell me how
Please explain to me


How do you love somebody?
How do you truly love someone?


How do you love somebody else?
How do you move on and love someone else?


'Cause when you left I lost myself
I lost my identity when you left me


How do you numb the pain so well?
How are you able to handle the pain so effectively?


Seven missed calls, you're really keeping your distance
You're intentionally avoiding my calls


I know that I tried, and givin' you what you're missin'
I tried to give you what you needed, but it wasn't enough


Stab my back, no chance to heal at all, oh, whoa
You betrayed me and I can't seem to move on


I just don't get it, how you left so quick
I don't understand how you were able to leave so abruptly


Just fifteen minutes, now you textin' him
It only took you fifteen minutes to start texting someone else


You broke my heart and I'm a mess again
You caused me so much pain and now I'm back to being a mess


Always go like the stories we've been told
Life doesn't always follow the fairy tales we've been told


'Cause you're gone and you're fine, I'm laying here fucked up
You're okay without me, but I'm a mess without you

Every day, every night, I can only think of us

Just 15 minutes, now you're texting him
You broke my heart and I'm a mess again
How do you love somebody?
How do you love somebody else?

This might be a stretch, but I think this is possibly the best song they’ve ever released. There’s a sense of maturity and freedom that was never there before. You can really tell how much fun they’re having in life and as a band right now, and it bleeds into everything they do.
