What happens in dreams where we fly?
Never been as high as tonight

For someone to show me what I’m like
He said, “Hello”, it’s like a …

This introduction to the song reveals that 5 Seconds of Summer is performing a cover version of “What I Like About You,” originally composed by The Romantics and released in 1980.
This song is a tribute to girls, especially significant others.
A physical bond is part of a flourishing romance.
“Tell me I’m the only one” indicates that the guy desires words of affection from his beloved.
“Wanna come over tonight?” is a modest question that hints at the possibility of physical intimacy.
Whispering is a sign of affection.
That is, things that make him feel loved.
“That’s what I like about you” has become a timeless mantra celebrating cute girls.
When the guy’s girlfriend dances, he admires both her body and her spirit.
The only way she can keep him warm is by sleeping in the same bed with him, so a deep companionship is implied in this lyric.
“Alright” is an understatement characteristic of the 1980’s when this song was written.
The point of this song is not only to appreciate one’s girlfriend, but also to just have a good time enjoying a fun song.
