Lyrics

Meet, some girls every once in a while

Expressing occasional encounters with girls.

But it's always the same

Highlighting the repetitiveness of these encounters.

Start out walkin' on a sunny day

Beginning with optimism, walking on a sunny day.

And you end up caught in the rain

Unexpectedly facing challenges or difficulties.

Well, I'm lookin' for somethin' that I ain't known

Seeking something unfamiliar or unknown.

Lookin' for somethin that's rollin' home

Searching for a sense of belonging or home.


What it feels like

Pose the question of understanding the sensation of love.

Wanna know, what it feels like

Expressing curiosity about the emotional experience of love.

Yea, yea, what it feels like

Reiterating the desire to comprehend love.

To be in love, really be in love

Desire to truly and deeply experience being in love.


This and that and the other thing

Disregarding superficial things that don't matter.

Don't mean nothin' to me

Emphasizing a yearning for meaningful experiences.

Just for once, for once in my life

Expressing a longing for a unique and fulfilling life moment.

I wanna be able to see

Wanting clarity and understanding in life.

Holdin' your hand, lookin' in your eye

Symbolizing intimacy and connection with someone special.

I don't know the reason why

Expressing uncertainty about the reasons behind feelings.


What it feels like

Repeating the desire to understand the sensation of love.

Wanna know, what it feels like

Continuing the quest to fathom the feeling of love.

Yea, yea, what it feels like

Reiterating the curiosity about the emotional experience of love.

To be in love, really be in love

Restating the desire to truly and deeply experience being in love.


And I don't wanna say, that it's now

Expressing reluctance to specify the timing of love.

Or it's never, but I've waited so long

Conveying a sense of prolonged anticipation for love.

For someone who will be more than a lover, yea, yea

Desiring a connection that goes beyond a typical romantic relationship.


Oh yea, what it feels like

Repeating the question about understanding the sensation of love.

Wanna know, what it feels like

Reiterating the curiosity about the emotional experience of love.

Yea, yea, what it feels like

Continuing the quest to fathom the feeling of love.

To be in love, oh yea

Restating the desire to truly and deeply experience being in love.


What it feels like, to be in love

Repeating the theme of seeking to understand the sensation of love.

Whoa, to be in love

Expressing a powerful desire to experience love.

Yea, to be in love, oh yea

Reiterating the intense longing to be in love.
