Lyrics

You know what you're doing when you're giving me a rush

You understand the impact of your actions when you excite me.

I know I'm only chasing in lust

I recognize that my pursuit is driven by physical desire.

Feeling too high, I

Experiencing intense emotions or a heightened state.

And I'm face down, laid out, taking too much

Feeling overwhelmed or affected, perhaps by substances.

Sure, I been a little too blunt

I may have been too straightforward or direct in my communication.

When I tell you it's mine (that's mine)

Asserting ownership or claim over something (possibly the relationship).

Got you on cloud nine

You are elated or extremely happy.


Now you dreamin' 'bout me while you sleeping

You dream about me even in your sleep.

When you wake up I'm the reason

I am the first thought upon waking up.

Eager for me like the weekend

You eagerly anticipate me, similar to the excitement for the weekend.

Whatchu want, whatchu been needing?

Asking about desires and needs, seeking clarity.


Pick me up, I'm on the coast

Requesting to be picked up, possibly for a rendezvous.

I'll leave tonight so let me know

Expressing readiness to leave soon, awaiting confirmation.

Rides with you are sensual

Implies that journeys with the person are sensually charged.

Don't get your hopes up, don't

Repeated caution not to have high expectations.

Don't get your hopes up, don't

-

Don't get your hopes up, don't

-

Don't get your hopes up, don't

-

Get your hopes up

-

All in your feelings so I need to get back

Sensing the need to retreat from emotional involvement.

It was so good I know you gon' ask me to change my flight

Acknowledging the temptation to extend the enjoyable time together.

But it wouldn't be right

Recognizing that it wouldn't be morally right to prolong the connection.

I ain't meant to lead you on, you know we both

Acknowledging mutual understanding of the desire for authenticity.

Want the real thing, no demo

Expressing a shared desire for a genuine, unaltered connection.

The same for life, life

Desiring consistency and authenticity in the relationship.


Now you dreamin' 'bout me while you sleeping

Repetition of the earlier verses emphasizing the dreamlike anticipation.

When you wake up I'm the reason

-

Eager for me like the weekend

-

Whatchu want, whatchu been needing?

-

Pick me up, I'm on the coast

Reiterating the request to be picked up, signaling readiness.

I'll leave tonight so let me know

Repeating the willingness to leave and urging a prompt response.

Rides with you are sensual

Reaffirming the sensuality of journeys together.

Don't get your hopes up, don't

Continued caution against building unrealistic expectations.

Don't get your hopes up, don't

-

Don't get your hopes up, don't

-

Don't get your hopes up, don't

-

Get your hopes up

-

Get your hopes up, don't

Repeating the warning not to have high hopes.

Don't get your hopes up

-

Pick me up, I'm on the coast

Reiteration of readiness to leave and the sensual nature of shared experiences.

I leave tonight so let me know

-

Rides with you are sensual

-

Don't get your hopes up, don't

Final reminder not to get one's hopes up.
