Verse 1: In the hallway
Setting the scene in a hallway
Words you don’t say
Communication gaps or unspoken words
Speak so loud
Non-verbal cues speaking louder than words
At your friend’s place
Reference to being at a friend's place
But your eyes say
Indication from the eyes suggesting leaving the current place
We could leave right now
Implying the possibility of leaving immediately
Pre: I keep getting in my feels like I ain’t ever felt nobody else
Feeling deeply emotional, perhaps in a unique way
before
Emphasizing a new or unprecedented experience
You keep giving me this look like we should be alone
Receiving a certain look indicating a desire for privacy
You’ve never been more sure
Confidence in the expressed feeling
Chorus: Are we ever gonna say it?
Pondering whether a confession will happen
Is it time?
Questioning the timing for something significant
We could just sneak out somehow
Suggesting a covert departure
You could stay the night
Inviting the person to spend the night
We could stay a little longer
Proposal to prolong the stay
But why?
Questioning the reason behind staying longer
We’re wastin’ time, let’s go to mine
Proposing to leave for another location
You could stay the night
Reiteration of inviting the person to stay the night
Verse 2: We could hold hands
Suggesting intimacy through hand-holding
Talk life plans
Discussing future plans together
On my balcony
Scenery shift to a balcony
Get some takeout
Plan to have takeout food
Just hangout
Simple hanging out together
Watch a good movie
Suggesting a leisurely activity like watching a movie
Pre: I keep getting in my feels like I ain’t ever felt nobody else
Reiteration of deep emotional feelings
before
Comparing current emotions to past experiences
You keep giving me this look like we should be alone
Indication of a desire for privacy
You’ve never been more sure
Emphasis on the certainty of the expressed feeling
Chorus: Are we ever gonna say it?
Reiteration of questioning whether a confession will happen
Is it time?
Reiteration of questioning the timing for something significant
We could just sneak out somehow
Reiteration of suggesting a covert departure
You could stay the night
Reiteration of inviting the person to spend the night
We could stay a little longer
Reiteration of proposing to prolong the stay
But why?
Reiteration of questioning the reason behind staying longer
We’re wastin’ time, let’s go to mine
Reiteration of proposing to leave for another location
You could stay the night
Reiteration of inviting the person to stay the night
Chorus: Are we ever gonna say it?
Reiteration of questioning whether a confession will happen
Is it time?
Reiteration of questioning the timing for something significant
We could just sneak out somehow
Reiteration of suggesting a covert departure
You could stay the night
Reiteration of inviting the person to spend the night
We could stay a little longer
Reiteration of proposing to prolong the stay
But why?
Reiteration of questioning the reason behind staying longer
We’re wastin’ time, let’s go to mine
Reiteration of proposing to leave for another location
You could stay the night
Reiteration of inviting the person to stay the night
