Lyrics
Bae I'm afraid that if I love this hard you'll fade away
Bae, expressing fear that intense love might lead to the partner fading away.
And I'm afraid that if you stay too long it won't feel the same
Fear of the relationship changing if the partner stays too long.
Burnt out baby I don't wanna ever burn out this flame
Desire to maintain the passionate flame without burning out.
I'm going at this shit alone baby I don't wanna stay that way
Commitment to facing challenges alone but not wanting to stay that way.
Every bit of this is worth it
Acknowledgment that every aspect of the relationship is valuable.
Scratching far below the surface
Exploring beneath the surface of the relationship.
Long as I could find some purpose in your eyes
Finding purpose in the partner's eyes.
Work at it till I earn it
Commitment to working hard until deserving the relationship.
Bae, we don't gotta be so perfect
Acknowledging imperfection and not aiming for perfection in the relationship.
I throw it all out there till the curtains close tonight
Willingness to be vulnerable and open until the end of the day.
I don't want you to leave
Expressing the desire for the partner not to leave.
Just hold on tight to me
Request to hold on tightly to each other.
It's easier to stay right here and breathe
Choosing the easier option of staying and breathing together.
Oh bae, I'm not that hard to read
Assurance that the speaker is not difficult to understand.
I don't want you to leave
Reiteration of the desire for the partner not to leave.
Hold me close and don't ever let me stray too far away
Emphasis on staying close and avoiding drifting apart.
And upfront I ain't tryna hide shit
Being upfront about not hiding aspects of the speaker's identity.
Baby that's just who I am these days
Acceptance of the current self and identity.
I don't want you feel like Ima ever try to control you
Assurance that the partner won't be controlled.
Let it all go bae I wanna just hold you
Encouragement to let go, expressing a desire to hold the partner.
Day by Day
Taking the relationship day by day.
One step at a time bae let's stick to the plan
Emphasizing a step-by-step approach to the relationship.
Woah
An exclamation, possibly indicating intensity or emotion.
Every bit of this is worth it
Reiteration of the value of every aspect of the relationship.
Scratching far below the surface
Continuing to explore beneath the surface of the relationship.
Long as I could find some purpose in your eyes
Finding purpose in the partner's eyes, again.
Work at it till I earn it
Commitment to working hard until deserving the relationship, again.
Bae, we don't gotta be so perfect
Reiterating the acceptance of imperfection in the relationship.
I throw it all out there till the curtains close tonight
Willingness to be vulnerable and open until the end of the day, again.
