Lyrics
(Yeah, check it, one time, yeah)
Introduction, setting the tone for the following lyrics.
I've been rockin' the boat
Expressing a disruptive or challenging behavior.
We've both jocked the approach
Both have tried different approaches or attitudes.
I won't bother with quotes
Avoiding using quotes, possibly to be genuine or direct.
Or patronize you at all
Not condescending or pretending, being straightforward.
I'm tired of jokes and clichés and the hopes
Tired of humor, clichés, and false expectations.
To gettin' back to your home and stayin' up 'till it's dawn
Mentioning the desire to return home after a night out.
I promise I won't, hit you up when I'm gone
Promising not to contact when away, respecting boundaries.
Unless you want me to flex
Willing to be available if needed, ready to act.
Then I'm there in a sec
Expressing quick responsiveness if desired.
But baby don't get me wrong
Clarifying intentions, not seeking a long-term commitment.
I ain't here for that long
Acknowledging a temporary presence.
I'm out rockin' these sets
Engaged in performing and entertaining.
You won't know 'till I'm gone
Implying that the absence may go unnoticed.
You got me out here feelin' naked
Feeling exposed and vulnerable.
Overexposed over petty complications
Dealing with unnecessary complications.
And I ain't spittin' no games over relations
Not playing games with emotions.
I'm just runnin' all my options before I run out of patience
Exploring options before losing patience.
Girlfriend sayin' it's bait
Others suggesting it's obvious or evident.
Mama sayin' baby go on and give it away
Maternal advice to pursue a romantic opportunity.
Ignorin' all the warnings and takin' a leap of faith
Ignoring warnings and taking a risk.
Got a feeling that today's the day
Feeling a sense of optimism about the present.
And I just won't wait
Reiteration of the refusal to wait and the urgency to act.
If we don't make a move right now
-We might as well put it away
-And I just won't wait
-If we don't make this thing here count
-We might as well put it away
-And I just won't wait
-If we don't make a move right now
-We might as well put it away
-And I just won't wait
-If we don't make this thing here count
-We might as well put it away, put it away
-And I just won't wait
Empty line, no specific content.
For the night's light's, light
Describing a desire for the bright moments to last.
To fade away now things are seemin' quite that, bright
-And it might not, right?
-But we may never know it if the dice don't, strike
-You calmingly calling me for the chance of just callin' me
Describing a call for a physical connection and its emotional impact.
The function is bodily but I feel it in artery
-It's dually been noted that we producin' a harmony
-But lack of distribution is the feeling that's harmin' me
-I'ma rag tag hitter, slash the go-getter
Describing personal attributes and the emotional toll of a lack of connection.
My stash is so glimmer, your fashion, more glitter
-Shinin' like diamonds that I've been dyin' of minin'
-The fact you play with my vibin' is really so undermining
-But it's cool
Acceptance of the situation, not overly distressed.
It's just a game you play by the rules
Acknowledging the rules of the game, yet willing to bend them.
But I'd break every last one to spend a summer with you
Expressing a strong desire to spend time together.
I'm ignorin' all the warnings and taking a leap of faith
Repeating the theme of ignoring warnings and taking a leap of faith.
I got a feeling that today is the day
Expressing confidence that today is the day for positive change.
