Lyrics

Saw you 'round one

Saw someone around

Caught me off guard

Surprised or caught by surprise

Asked for the check, put down his card

Requested the bill and paid with his card

I bought a room, we drove your car

Rented a room, used your car

Never thought that we would ever make it this far

Did not anticipate reaching this point in the relationship

Hotel nights, I do recall

Recalling nights spent in a hotel

This moment happened by default

This moment occurred naturally without planning

Scared of what I will become

Fears the person he might become

Hope one day I'll rise above

Hopes for personal growth in the future

Baby give me some love

Asking for affection

I ain't talking that stuff

Refusing insincere gestures

That you be giving everyone else, oh

Partner's actions towards others

Oh no, Oh no, no, no

Expressing surprise or disbelief

Oh no, Oh no, no, no

Repetition for emphasis

Highlight

Not specified in context

Don't go too fast, even if I like it like that, baby

Advocating for a slower pace despite personal preferences

Finite

Having limits or boundaries

I notice all of the things that push you

Observing things that affect the person

Down right (Downright)

Feeling down or depressed

Should have left that room

Suggesting leaving a particular place

Even if we ain't have issues

Even without problems

Alright (Alright)

Alright or acceptable

I'll do my part

Willing to contribute

But you won't ever catch me off guard

Confident in not being surprised

Off, off, off guard, no

Reiteration of not being caught off guard

Off, off, you won't catch me off guard

Reaffirming the preparedness for any situation

Catch me off guard, no

Emphasizing not being caught off guard

No, no, no, no, no

Repetition for emphasis

No, no, no

Emphatic denial

We left in separate cars

Left the location in separate vehicles

And I've been thinking bout' it ever since

Reflecting on the experience since then

No rest, wish I would've pressed pause

Regretting not taking a break

So I could feel that way again

Wishing to relive a particular feeling

My chest, never beat so hard

Feeling intense emotions

Got to get rid of this silence

Desiring to eliminate a state of silence

Hopeless, maybe we are

Feeling without hope

But you won't ever catch me off guard

Reassurance of not being caught off guard
