Lyrics

Can you chill stop freaking out for a second

Encouraging the listener to calm down and take a moment to relax.

'Cause it's hard to think when you're losing your mind

Expressing difficulty in thinking clearly when feeling overwhelmed or distressed.

And I know that you've got like 10,000 questions

Acknowledging the listener's numerous questions but stating a lack of time to address them all.

And to be real I actually don't have time

Admitting a lack of time for an extensive conversation.


'Cause we could fight all day about the future

Offering two potential approaches to the relationship: discussing the future or focusing on the present.

But I don't even know where I'll be next week

Expressing uncertainty about the future and the speaker's whereabouts next week.

Or we could hang all day forget the future

Suggesting an alternative approach of enjoying the present moment without worrying about the future.

I'm here right now just be here right now with me

Inviting the listener to be present in the current moment with the speaker.


Quit running away you're running outta room

Encouraging the listener to stop avoiding issues and confront them.

You and I know that's not what you wanna do

Highlighting that avoiding confrontation is not in the listener's best interest.

Quit running away quit running away

Repeating the call for the listener to stop running away from problems.


You've been hurt but come on nobody's perfect

Acknowledging the listener's past hurts but emphasizing that nobody is perfect.

And I'm tired of hearing how they did ya wrong

Expressing fatigue from hearing about past wrongs and suggesting moving forward.

'Cause I'm not them you're not with them can we drop it

Differentiating the speaker from those who caused past hurts and urging to let go of the grievances.

How good would it be if you'd just move on

Posing a question about the benefits of moving on from the past.


'Cause we could fight all day about the future

Reiterating the choice between arguing about the future or enjoying the present.

But I don't even know where I'll be next week

Expressing uncertainty about the speaker's location in the future.

Or we could dance all night forget the future

Suggesting the option of dancing all night instead of worrying about the future.

I'm here right now just be here right now with me

Inviting the listener to be present in the current moment through dancing.


Quit running away you're running outta room

Repeating the plea for the listener to stop running away, emphasizing a limited time.

You and I know that's not what you wanna do

Affirming the mutual understanding that avoidance is not the listener's desired course of action.

Quit running away quit running away

Reiterating the call for the listener to cease running away from challenges.


'Cause we could fight all day about the future

Presenting the choice between discussing the future or enjoying the present once again.

But I don't even know where I'll be next week

Expressing uncertainty about the speaker's future plans.

Or we could hang all day forget the future

Suggesting an alternative of spending the day without worrying about the future.

I'm here right now just be here right now with me
