Third vowel, miss you
Expressing the third vowel, missing someone
Ninth letter
Referring to the ninth letter of the alphabet
Ninth letter, miss you
Repeating the ninth letter, expressing a sense of longing
Third vowel
Expressing the third vowel
Third vowel, miss you
Repeating the third vowel, expressing missing someone
Ninth letter
Referring to the ninth letter of the alphabet
Ninth letter, miss you
Repeating the ninth letter, expressing a sense of longing
It's been a piece
Repeating the idea that it's been a long time
It's been a minute too long
-It's been a piece
-It's been a minute too long
-It's been a piece
-It's been a minute too long
-It's been a piece
-It's been a minute too long
-But, it's been a piece
Expressing a desire to hold hands and a wish for understanding after a long time
I just wanna hold your hand (it's been a minute too long)
-It's been a minute, since
-Wishing I could understand (it's been a minute too long)
-It's been a piece
-I just wanna hold your hand (it's been a minute too long)
-It's been a minute, since
-Wishing I could understand (it's been a minute too long)
-How you look like that?
Expressing awe at someone's appearance and questioning how they look that way
How do you look like that?
-How you look like that?
-How do you look like that? Huh
-My bed lays desolate
Describing a desolate bed, a twisted head, and feeling like an outcast prototype
And my head stays twisted
-I'm the prototype of an outcast
-On my Jackson, ain't seen my missus
-Been on my jives
Expressing separation from a significant other and recalling memories
And I ain't seen my rose
-It's a shame the way the saying goes
-That you're in bad company
-When you're alone
-Well I'm gon' pull up every memory
-On my English rose
-While the sky turns butter
Using poetic imagery of a buttery sky and getting lost in nine letters
I'll get lost in your nine letters
-(Your nine letters)
-'Cause you don't need to be cryptic
Expressing a desire for straightforward communication and feeling better when together
Addicted to missing my point
-'Cause I know that I'm better
-(I'm better)
-When you're there beside me
-('Side me, 'side me, 'side me, 'side)
-Passenger in side seat
Describing a passenger in the side seat, dust on the dashboard, and a pink sky
(Side seat, side seat, side seat, side)
-Dust from dashboard
-Pink sky, pink sky
-Why lie? Fiasco
-But, it's been a piece
Repeating the theme of longing for hand-holding and understanding
I just wanna hold your hand (it's been a minute too long)
-It's been a minute, since
-Wishing I could understand (it's been a minute too long)
-It's been a piece
-I just wanna hold your hand (it's been a minute too long)
-It's been a minute, since
-Wishing I could understand (it's been a minute too long)
-How you look like that
Reflecting on past times, questioning the last time various things happened, and expressing a desire to hold hands and understand
When was the last time? That we build it up
-When was the last time? That I gave a fuck
-When was the last time? Didn't have a drink in me
-When was the last time? You weren't so fucking busy
-When was the last time? I didn't chase a clock
-When was the last time? That I felt a lot
-When was the last time? Make that three hundred try
-When was the last time? That I held your hand
-It's been a piece
-I just wanna hold your hand (it's been a minute too long)
-It's been a minute, since
-Wishing I could understand (it's been a minute too long)
-It's been a piece
-I just wanna hold your hand (it's been a minute too long)

-How you look like that?
-How do you look like that?
-How you look like that?
-How do you look like that? Huh
-I guess we'll never know
Indicating uncertainty about knowing certain things
