Lyrics
Yeah
Expression of agreement or affirmation.
Soon I'm on a plane, doing the same, same shit that I always do
Expressing a routine or habit of doing the same things repetitively.
You be handsome, but I finna go talk
Admiring someone's appearance but indicating the intention to leave and talk elsewhere.
Now it's just me and you
Emphasizing a connection between the speaker and another person.
Me and you
-So skip all the screaming and shouting
Desire to avoid conflict and negativity, preferring peace and harmony.
Let go of the blaming and crying
-I don't wanna waste time on fighting, now
-I know that it's probably crazy
Admitting the situation might seem irrational but still desiring affection and endearment.
But I need you to call me your baby
-Even if you have to fake it
-Just tell me your sweet lies, sweet lies
Requesting to be told comforting lies, acknowledging the sadness in the speaker's eyes, and suggesting a temporary pretense to maintain positivity.
And then look at my sad eyes, sad eyes
-Let's pretend this one last time
-Before we go and kill all the good vibes
Suggesting the need to preserve positive feelings before they are ruined.
Two a.m. cab rides
Describing late-night activities, feelings of loneliness, and not being in a familiar or comfortable environment.
Hotels and strobe lights
-Falling asleep alone
-You have that day job, hey, but it pays off
-Can't stand that I'm not home
-I'm not home
-Sick of the screaming and shouting
Reiterating the desire to avoid conflicts and wasted time on arguments.
Let go of the blaming and crying
-I don't wanna waste time on fighting, no
-Yeah, I know that it's probably crazy
Re-emphasizing the need for endearment even if it means insincerity.
But I need you to call me your baby
-Even if you have to fake it
-Just tell me your sweet lies, sweet lies
Repeated emphasis on pretending to maintain positivity before negativity ruins the good feelings.
And then look at my sad eyes, sad eyes
-Let's pretend this one last time
-Before we go and kill all the good vibes
-Just tell me your sweet lies, sweet lies
-And I'll play it all like I don't mind
-Let's pretend this one last time
-Before we go and kill all the good vibes
-Give me one last high
Asking for a final positive experience, including a last moment together and a farewell kiss despite an impending separation.
Give me one last night
-And a kiss goodbye, would you?
-Give me one last high
-Give me one last night
-And a kiss goodbye, would you?
-Would you, would you?
Repetition of the request for the aforementioned positive experience.
Just tell me your sweet lies, sweet lies
Continued emphasis on the need to pretend for positivity before things turn negative.
And then look at my sad eyes, sad eyes
-Let's pretend this one last time
-Before we go and kill all the good vibes
-Just tell me your sweet lies, sweet lies
-And I'll play it all like I don't mind
-Let's pretend this one last time
-Before we go and kill all the good vibes
-Give me one last high
Repeated requests for a final positive encounter and goodbye despite an inevitable end.
Give me one last night
-And a kiss goodbye, would you?
-Give me one last high
-Give me one last night
-And a kiss goodbye, would you?
-Give me one last high
-Give me one last night
-And a kiss goodbye, would you?
-Give me one last high
-Give me one last night
-And a kiss goodbye, would you?
