[Verse 1]
Better days are comin’, if no one told you
I hate to hear you cryin’, over the phone, dear
For seven years runnin’, you’ve been a soldier
[Pre-Chorus]
But better days are comin’
Better …

There is a promised land waiting for me
Sometimes there’s an ocean that lies in between
I’ll keep on traveling the pathway You’ve been
‘Til I’m right where You want me, that’s …
[Verse 1]
Change came like a hurricane
2020 hit us differently
And even though I didn’t want it
This old life got a hold of me
How to float when there’s no control?
Feeling life or …

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.
