Lyrics
What you got to say, girl, I'm all ears
Asking the girl to express herself, eager to listen.
This ain't a mistake that we're both here
Acknowledging that their presence together is intentional, not a mistake.
Love up in your face, girl, it's so clear
Love is evident in her expression.
That you're the one who's got me going
She has a significant impact on the speaker's emotions.
I won't fall back on my pace
Not deviating from the pursuit of the relationship.
There ain't enough time in the day
Time is a constraint, emphasizing a busy schedule.
So tell me, how can I just wait
Expressing impatience, asking how to wait.
To be with you in every way
Desire to be with her in every possible way.
Cause when you roun' I cannot speak
Difficulty speaking when she's around, indicating admiration.
I do & say some corny things
Admits to saying awkward or cheesy things in her presence.
Like, bae, is you from Tennessee
Playful pickup line asking if she's from Tennessee.
Cause you're the only 10 I see
Complimenting her beauty using a classic scale of perfection.
Can we take the long way home
Expressing a desire to prolong the journey home.
Can we take the long way home
Repetition for emphasis on the desire to take the long way home.
Can we take the long way home
Reiterating the wish to extend the journey together.
Can we take the long way home
Emphasizing the desire for a longer, more intimate route home.
I can't even lie, you've got me open
Admitting to being captivated or infatuated by the girl.
So high in the sky, it's like I'm floating
Feeling elevated and euphoric, possibly due to love.
Feet won't touch the ground, never coming down
Feeling so happy and in love that it's like floating.
But I don't mind, I'm liking where it's going
Accepting the uncertainties because he enjoys the journey.
I won't fall back on my pace
Repetition emphasizing the commitment to the relationship.
There ain't enough time in the day
Reiterating the constraint of limited time.
So tell me, how can I just wait
Expressing impatience and eagerness to be together.
To be with you in every way
Desire to be with her in every possible way, echoing earlier sentiments.
Cause when you roun' I cannot speak
Difficulty speaking when she's around, reinforcing admiration.
I do & say some corny things
Admitting to saying awkward or cheesy things in her presence, echoing earlier sentiments.
Like, bae, is you from Tennessee
Repeating a playful pickup line.
Cause you're the only 10 I see
Reiterating a compliment using a classic scale of perfection.
Can we take the long way home
Repetition for emphasis on the desire to take the long way home.
Can we take the long way home
Emphasizing the wish to extend the journey together.
Can we take the long way home
Reiterating the desire for a longer, more intimate route home.
Can we take the long way home
Final repetition, closing with the longing for an extended journey home.
