Love Like This
A Love Transformed: Scotty Kipfer's Musical Journey to True Connection
Lyrics
Never was an early riser
Expressing a tendency to wake up late in the morning.
Used to be an up-all-nighter
Formerly someone who stayed awake throughout the night.
Never saw the morning light quite like I do now
Not familiar with experiencing the morning light in a positive way until now.
Never said no to a party
Didn't decline invitations to parties in the past.
Never started saving money
Wasn't accustomed to saving money previously.
But everything is different since you've been around
Everything in life has changed since the presence of the person being addressed.
It's the way you're smiling at me
The way the person smiles at the speaker is significant.
It's in the way you hold my hand
The physical connection through holding hands is meaningful.
It's the way I've watched you change me
The transformation observed in the speaker because of the person being addressed.
From a boy into a man
Reflecting on personal growth from adolescence to adulthood due to the relationship.
It's a million things about you
Various positive qualities or characteristics about the person being loved.
And I don't know what it is
The speaker is unable to pinpoint what exactly makes the love unique.
But I have never known a love like this
The speaker has never experienced a love like the current one.
Never used to get excited
Previously not easily excited.
To sit here in the silence
Finding joy in silent moments, possibly indicating a deep connection.
Holding on to something
Holding onto something meaningful in the relationship.
The way I'm holding you
Comparing the act of holding the person to holding onto something valuable.
Didn't used to know how fast time
Realization of the swiftness of time.
Walks and runs and flies by
Time passing quickly and the speaker feeling deeply about it.
I never thought I'd feel so deeply but damn I do
Expressing unexpected depth of emotion.
It's the way you're smiling at me
Repetition of the significance of the person's smile.
It's in the way you hold my hand
Repetition of the importance of physical touch through hand-holding.
It's the way I've watched you change me
Reiteration of the transformative impact of the relationship.
From a boy into a man
Reaffirming personal growth from the relationship.
It's a million things about you
Highlighting the numerous positive aspects of the person.
And I don't know what it is
Repeating the uncertainty about what makes the love special.
But I have never known a love like this
Reiterating the unprecedented nature of the love experienced.
It's funny how everything I dreamed about
Reflecting on how aspirations seem unfulfilling without the presence of the loved one.
Starts to seem so empty without you
Feeling a sense of emptiness when the loved one is absent.
It's the way you're smiling at me
Emphasizing the ongoing significance of the person's smile.
It's in the way you hold my hand
Reaffirming the importance of physical closeness through holding hands.
It's the way I've watched you change me
Reiteration of personal transformation because of the loved one.
From a boy into a man
Reaffirming the journey from boyhood to manhood due to the relationship.
It's a million things about you
Repeating admiration for various positive qualities of the person.
And I don't know what it is
Reiterating the uncertainty about what makes the love special.
But I have never known a love like this
Reiterating the unprecedented nature of the love experienced.
I have never known a love like this
Final confirmation of the uniqueness of the love experienced.
