Feeling That Way Lyrics
Opened my eyes to a new kind of way
All the good times that you saved
Are you feeling,
You feeling that way too
Or am I just,
Am I just a fool
When the summer's gone
She'll be there standing by the light
Once she's been to where she's gone to
She should know wrong from right
A new road's waiting, you touched my life
Soft and warm on a summer's night
You're the only one, the only one I love
The lovely one, I'm thinking of
All the good times that you saved
Are you feeling,
You feeling that way too
Or am I just,
Am I just a fool
She'll be there standing by the light
Once she's been to where she's gone to
She should know wrong from right
Soft and warm on a summer's night
You're the only one, the only one I love
The lovely one, I'm thinking of

it means ,steve perry and greg rollie together sound freakin amazing. perfectly complementing each other. this song and anytime are great examples of what can be done when ego isnt the dominating factor
he loves a girl.....and she'll remain to be the only one for him....
This sounds like Rolie is talking on the phone to a girl with whom he had a summer fling, while in the background Perry is giving friendly encouragement. The story is after the brief fling, Rolie is captivated but she goes off for a while, leaving him to consider the effect this thing had on him. He's starting to realise it would be nice to have a more lasting relationship, not just fling after fling, since this particular girl captivated his attention, and is asking whether she might be feeling the same. His friend is telling him she'll come to her senses, and will come back.
"Lovely One" describes the Virgin Mary. "When summer's gone (a season of life)---She will be there." Our Holy Mother is "standing with arms open a mile wide hoping and praying" for each of us to change our hearts. The Mother of God is Humility and Simplicity itself and "a spark" is all She needs from us"--our willingness. She is the Meditrix of All Graces directing each of us to Her Son Jesus--who wants to give Eternal Salvation. His Excellent Mother wants to show the path with a sincere motherly care. Amazing lyrics and musical talent given by the Almighty to inspire!
A summer fling. Journey's best. A Masterpiece.
This song is about feeling... uh, you know. That way.
I always thought that this song had a profoundly spiritual foundation to it. This wasn't just your run of the mill romantic ballad. I do not however think that it has anything to do with Christianity. There is more than one packing this world and reverence to the Divine Feminine suggests a more esoteric meaning behind the lyrics. Many spiritual paths in the path predating Abrahamic religions revere The Great Goddess variously in different cultures as Danu, Inanna, Ishtar, Shakti, etc. A new road is waiting, she touched my life soft and warm on a summer's night... Read into it what you will, I have found time and again that very few artists write lyrics of this depth to a flesh and blood woman. And I am a flesh and blood woman so take that anyway you like
