Lyrics
Let's go back to first time that we met, came up to me
Recalling the initial encounter when they first met, and the person approached the singer
I brushed you off that day, time and time again
The singer initially dismissed or ignored the person repeatedly
You didn't leave
Despite being brushed off, the person didn't leave
But something bout' you's different
The person possesses something distinctive or unique about them
Your confidence is missing
There's a lack of confidence apparent in the person
You try to hide it but I see it on your sleeve
The person tries to conceal their lack of confidence, but it's noticeable to the singer
Don't act tough with me
The singer advises the person not to put up a tough front, citing their own experiences with scars
I got scars plenty
The singer has experienced their own share of hardships or wounds
You and me could kick it together
Suggesting the potential for a relationship or partnership between the singer and the person
It's unpredictable
The situation or the person's intentions are uncertain or unpredictable for the singer
What your tryna do to me
The singer is unsure about what the person is attempting with them
And it's miracle
Expressing surprise at the singer's willingness to wait and observe
That I'm tryna wait and see
The singer is cautiously observing the situation or the person's actions
Cause' I would've told you to get lost
In other circumstances, the singer might have dismissed the person and asked them to leave
Kick some rocks and just move on
Encouragement for the person to move on and leave the situation
But you might be someone someone
The person might potentially be someone important or special to the singer
I'll take a shot on
The singer is willing to take a chance or risk on the person
Oh I'll take a shot on
Reiterating the willingness to take a risk or chance
I'm indecisive of the things I want
The singer is uncertain about their own desires or preferences
And you knew it when we went back and forth
Recollection of the back-and-forth nature of their interactions, acknowledging the person's understanding of the singer's indecisiveness
But something bout' you's different
Reiterating the uniqueness or distinctiveness of the person
Maybe you're what I'm missing
Suggesting that the person might fulfill something lacking in the singer's life
And hard to get is fun but I'll let you find me
Acknowledging that playing hard to get can be enjoyable, but the singer is willing to let the person pursue them
Don't act tough with me
Similar to line 8, advising against putting on a tough facade
I got scars plenty
Reiteration of the singer's own past experiences with scars or hardships
You and me could kick it together
Repeating the idea of a potential connection or partnership between the singer and the person
It's unpredictable
Repetition of uncertainty regarding the person's intentions
What your tryna do to me
Uncertainty about what the person is attempting to achieve in relation to the singer
And it's miracle
Expressing surprise at the singer's patience in waiting to see what happens
That I'm tryna wait and see
The singer is cautiously observing the situation or the person's actions
Cause' I would've told you to get lost
Under different circumstances, the singer might have dismissed the person and asked them to leave
Kick some rocks and just move on
Encouragement for the person to move on and leave the situation
But you might be someone someone
The person might potentially be someone important or special to the singer
I'll take a shot on
The singer is willing to take a chance or risk on the person
Oh I'll take a shot on
Reiterating the willingness to take a risk or chance
