Lyrics for Just Like Heaven as interpreted by oofus

Just Like Heaven Lyrics
"Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it and I promise you
I promise that I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
"Why are you so far away?" she said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you?
That I'm in love with you?"

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream...

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone
Alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven

I love this song. By the way, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Robert Smith met his wife when he was 14. In which case he couldn't have had a gf that drowned.

"Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone
Alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me"

daylight licked me into shape....what a frickin brilliant line

the raging sea metaphor is interesting as well

What did you guys think of the remake of this song done for the movie Just Like Heaven? Such a disgrace. Nobody but Robert should be able to sing those lyrics...

it's about love lost or not realizing you are in love until its too late

first and 2nd verse- she is in love with him, they had sex, did their thing, had a relationshipmaybe, but he runs away for some reason or another

the first "you soft and only you lost and lonely you refers to him, just like a dream"

third verse- he finally realize he loved her but its too late because she is gone, with someone else, or had died

just like heaven

Teehee, Katie Mooface *laughs himself silly*

The Dinosaur Jr version is UBER sexy, and normally I don't like covers, but Dinosaur Jrs's one is delicious, and for all the people who like this song (And I'm assuming there's quite a few) I'd recomend you get a-hold o' it somehow

'sall folks

One of my favorite cure songs and of my all time favorites as well. I love the lyrics espacially "Alone above a raging sea That stole the only girl I loved And drowned her deep inside of me", it's so wonderful. This song reminds me of the girl i love and i like to hear it when i'm dreaming away

To me this song is about a breakup. the 1st and 2nd verses depict how awesome the relationship was and the 3rd verse talkas about how alone the guy feels, now that its over. I liek this song a lot because it really displays how quickly things can go wrong with relationship. One day things are cool, the next day someone is crying over a broken heart. It's a crazy game, Love is.

just because it says "show me how you do that trick the one that makes me scream" doesn't necessarily mean anything sexual. i mean i would assume it would be something along the lines of kissing a part of a body. like how i'm extremely ticklish and when this guy (my boyfriend...wow. it feels weird to say that) kisses my stomach it makes me laugh and scream like crazy.

i think it's mostly about a boy who is thinking about a girl who he loves and about how he just couldn't let her in to his life like she wanted to be or couldn't show her how he understood what she felt.

and when he finally wakes up metaphorically and realizes that he really did care for her, she was already gone and how he hated himself for waiting too long to make it known.

p.s. goldfinger BUTCHERED the song. it was terrible.

this song is so visual for me, it's amazing listening to it...then again, a lot of cure tracks are like that for me. polarized blues and stark white.

"daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
and moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
and found myself alone, alone
alone above a raging sea
that stole the only girl I loved
and drowned her deep inside of me,"

to me this speaks of being numb("must have been asleep for days")for a long period after losing someone you care about, though i think what he really lost her to was something else in life ("a raging sea/that stole the only girl I loved"), possibly a career or a move to somewhere else in life, yet he still "breathes her name" regardless of how long he "sleeps" and he finds himself haunted by the ghost of her("drowned her deep inside of me")... as for the parting lines, basically says to me that she's the the only thing he'd let close to him("soft and only"), and now that she's gone, he still somehow hopes that eventually he'll meet up with her again by the end of his life("just like heaven") because he still has a thread of belief that she is meant for him.

that's just me, though. =P

robert smith kicks ass. this has prolly got to be one of the best cure songs ever. i'm too lazy to elaborate on what the song means but i think its something everyone can somehow relate to and thats prolly why its such a classic.

btw. listen to the cover by gatsby's american dream. its some pretty good shit, even better than the afi cover in my opinion.(afi kicks ass too)

"Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said

I don't know how you people figured these lines are about sex... To me it's just about ...tricks. These little tricks that make every relationship unique and beautiful. Whether it is kissing stomach, funny gesture, a wink or a word whispered right to your ear. Something that only you and your partner understand, your personal language, your little secrets.
ohh, I believe that these tricks are far more important in relationships that sex... tricks are more unique.
And that's why I love this song. Sooo much
