Lyrics

Baby I said, I said

Expressing a repeated statement or emphasis on communication

I can’t get you out of my head, my head

Struggling to stop thinking about someone

All these nights alone in my bed, my bed

Referencing lonely nights spent in bed, possibly due to a strained relationship

Tryna fix the things that I said, I said

Attempting to rectify mistakes made in communication

Do you remember when we first locked eyes

Recalling the moment when the narrator and the other person first made eye contact

Your skin was glistening in the pale moonlight

Describing the other person's appearance with vivid imagery

You wasn’t listening when I said it’s on sight

Not being heard or understood when expressing a serious matter

Girl cause I’ma make you mine

Expressing a determination to make the person theirs

And there’s no denying

Asserting that the attraction is undeniable

I can’t do this everyday

Expressing difficulty in coping with the situation on a daily basis

Think I’m losing faith

Feeling a loss of faith or confidence

I can’t see without you in my way

Unable to see clearly without the person's presence

Tryna seal my fate

Attempting to determine their destiny

Make my great escape but

Desiring to escape but facing challenges

You still hold me down

Acknowledging that the person still provides support

Carrying your weight

Carrying the emotional burden of the relationship

I think I’m bouta drown

Feeling overwhelmed and possibly suffocated

Baby it’s too late

Recognizing that it may be too late to salvage the situation

So just hold me, hold me down

Pleading for emotional support

Baby I said, I said

Repeating the urgency of the statement

I can’t get you out of my head, my head

Reiterating the difficulty in forgetting the person

All these nights alone in my bed, my bed

Reflecting on lonely nights in bed

Tryna fix the things that I said, I said

Continuing efforts to mend communication errors

I can take you there if you still wanna

Suggesting a willingness to take the person to a better place emotionally

I won’t play my games just being honest

Committing to honesty and sincerity in dealings with the person

But you ain’t playing fair and that’s a problem

Addressing a perceived fairness issue in the relationship

I don’t have much to say I’m quite astonished

Expressing surprise or disbelief at the other person's actions

And I can see you waiting from a mile away

Noticing the person's anticipation from a distance

Bet you wouldn’t hear me if I called your name

Suggesting that the person might not respond even if called

If my intention isn’t clear

Addressing a need for clarity in the narrator's intentions

Then let me clarify sincerely

Clearly stating the narrator's sincere feelings

You’re endearing

Expressing affection towards the person

But I just ain’t thinking clearly

Admitting confusion or lack of clear thinking

Baby I said, I said

Repeating the urgency of the statement

I can’t get you out of my head, my head

Reiterating the difficulty in forgetting the person

All these nights alone in my bed, my bed

Reflecting on lonely nights in bed

Tryna fix the things that I said, I said

Continuing efforts to mend communication errors
