Lyrics

Well look who showed up in my head

Expression of surprise or realization about someone appearing in the speaker's thoughts.

A vision of you crawling in my bed

A mental image of the person being in the speaker's bed, possibly a romantic or intimate context.

I've been meaning to tell you that I've been

Intent to communicate something important, likely related to feelings or thoughts.

Dreaming about you rolling a perfect joint

The speaker dreams about the person rolling a perfect joint, symbolizing a shared experience or connection.

Like you do

Acknowledgment of the person's skill or uniqueness.


You're always perfect

Complimenting the person's perfection but expressing nervousness about it.

It makes me nervous

The perfection of the person creates a sense of unease or insecurity for the speaker.

Feels like I don't deserve you

Feeling unworthy of the perfect person; a self-perception issue.

I'm living on the surface

Living on the surface suggests a superficial existence, possibly lacking depth in the relationship.


Iceberg, Iceberg

Repetition of "Iceberg" as a metaphor for hidden depth or complexity.


I wanna break the surface tension

Desire to break the surface tension, to go beyond the superficial aspects of the relationship.

Turn the ripples that surround us into waves

Turning the ripples into waves symbolizes a desire for a more significant and profound connection.


There's not a limit to love there's an extension

Contrasting the idea of limitless love with the limitations of surface-level passion.

I'm hidden above the passion that hides away

Being hidden above passion implies a deeper, concealed emotional state.


You're always perfect

Reiteration of the person's perfection and the speaker's nervousness.

It makes me nervous

The perfection of the person continues to evoke feelings of insecurity in the speaker.

Feels like I don't deserve you

Feeling undeserving of the perfect person is emphasized again.

I'm living on the surface

Continuation of living on the surface, suggesting a lack of emotional depth.


Iceberg, Iceberg

Repetition of "Iceberg" reinforces the metaphor and its significance.

Iceberg, Iceberg

-

My love is so much deeper than you see

Assertion that the speaker's love goes beyond what is apparent or visible.


Baby the hardest part is knowing where to start

Identifying the challenge of starting in a relationship, implying uncertainty or difficulty.

If I could break this ice then maybe I would melt your heart

If the speaker could break the metaphorical ice, they believe it could lead to the person's heart melting.


If I could dive down baby and show you the truth

Expressing a desire to reveal the truth and go beyond surface-level understanding.

You wouldn't only find me but a deeper side of you

Suggesting that by diving deeper, both the speaker and the person can discover hidden aspects of themselves.


Iceberg, Iceberg

Reiteration of "Iceberg" emphasizes the ongoing theme of depth and complexity.

Iceberg, Iceberg

-

My love is so much deeper than you see

Reaffirmation that the speaker's love is deeper than what is immediately visible.


You're always perfect

Repetition of the person's perfection, creating a circular theme of insecurity and admiration.
