Lyrics
Imagine that ride home
Contemplating the journey back home
He pulls up for the three with only two seconds left
A basketball reference: taking a shot with a short time remaining
The Tigers need this one for the win
The team named "Tigers" needs this shot for victory
Yo
Informal greeting
That was everybody screaming, "shoot it"
People urging to take the shot
Yo
Another informal greeting
That was the coach
The coach encouraging the player
Saying, "don't be afraid to go"
The coach advising not to fear taking a chance
So that's when he shot his shot
The player takes the shot
And every heart in the whole spot stopped like
A moment of suspense and tension
Doo doo doo doo
Imitating the sound of a heartbeat, indicating intense emotions
Doo doo doo doo
-Doo doo doo doo
-Doo
-Imagine that ride home
Reflecting on a journey home after disappointment
Brokenhearted
Feeling heartbroken
And all alone
Being in solitude
Imagine that ride home
Imagining the emotional ride home
'Cause baby that's how you make me feel
Expressing how the person makes the singer feel
Imagine that ride home
Imagining a similar emotional journey
She's the first one to the office, she's the last one to leave
Describing a hardworking person striving for a promotion
She's tryna get promoted to VP
Aspiring for a higher position, possibly Vice President
Yo
Assistant wishing good luck
That was her assistant saying, "good luck"
The boss signaling the start of the process
Yo
Similar to lines 11-14, emphasizing the suspense and tension
That was the boss
-Saying, "okay here we go"
-And right before they gave away the job
-Every heart in the whole spot stopped like
-Doo doo doo doo
-Doo doo doo doo
-Doo doo doo doo
-Doo
-Imagine that ride home
Continuing the theme of a disappointing journey home
Brokenhearted
Experiencing heartbreak
And all alone
Being in solitude
Imagine that ride home
Imagining the emotional ride home again
'Cause baby that's how you make me feel
Reiterating the impact of the person on the singer's emotions
Imagine that ride home
Repeating the theme of a heartbreaking journey
Brokenhearted
Feeling heartbroken
And all alone
Being in solitude
Imagine that ride home
Imagining the emotional ride home once more
'Cause baby that's how you make me feel
Reiterating the emotional impact of the person
