He Belongs to the City
City Nights and Heart's Desires: Victor Jackson's Melodic Yearning
Lyrics
He's going out with his friends
He's socializing with his friends.
And I could just stay at home waiting
The singer could stay home, waiting for him.
I could text his phone, not a thing
The singer considers messaging him but refrains from doing so.
But I don't wanna be the one nagging
The singer doesn't want to constantly complain or bother him.
So I call my girls
The singer calls her friends to go out.
See if they wanna get cute and go out, hit the town
Planning to dress up and enjoy a night out in the city.
But he rocks my world and I can't stop thinking about his smile
The person the singer thinks about deeply impacts her.
I got this feeling and I can't shake, shake, shake it off
The singer has intense emotions she can't easily shake.
Whenever he's near me, I get these chills all in my bones
Physical reactions (chills) occur when he's close.
But tonight, tonight
The singer emphasizes the present night's importance.
He belongs to the city
The person's attention is drawn to the city's allure.
Two drinks in
The singer has had two drinks.
Feeling good
Feeling positive due to the drinks.
But I can’t stop thinking about him
The singer's thoughts remain fixated on him.
How he smells
The singer recalls his scent.
How he looks
Reflecting on his appearance.
How I get whenever I’m around him
The singer's emotional state around him is mentioned.
I check my phone
Checking her phone for his contact attempts.
See if he called me or sent me a text
Wishing for communication from him.
And I missed it
Regret for missing his attempt to reach out.
Cause even though,
Despite being out, she desires to be with him.
I’m at the bar I’d rather be with him
Reiteration of intense feelings she can't shake.
I got this feeling and I can't shake, shake, shake it off
Physical reactions persist when he's close.
Whenever he's near me, I get these chills all in my bones
Emphasizing the significance of this particular night.
But tonight, tonight
He's associated with the city in her mind.
He belongs to the city
Desire to be with him even in a social setting.
I got this feeling and I can't shake, shake, shake it off
Enjoying the atmosphere of a lively event.
Whenever he's near me, I get these chills all in my bones
A physical connection is felt.
But tonight, tonight
Continued physical reactions when close to him.
He belongs to the city
The association of this night with him and the city.
When I walk in the building
Observing the environment upon arrival.
Look around the room
Scanning the room.
Everybody’s dancing baby
People enjoying themselves by dancing.
Getting to the groove
Getting into the rhythm.
I feel someone behind me, hands around my waist
A physical connection felt from behind.
Turn myself around, he’s looking right in my face
Face-to-face encounter with him.
I got this feeling and I can't shake, shake, shake it off
Reiteration of intense, persistent feelings.
Whenever he's near me, I get these chills all in my bones
Physical reactions even when he's close.
But tonight, tonight
Highlighting the significance of this particular night.
He belongs to the city
Emphasizing his association with the city.
I got this feeling and I can't shake, shake, shake it off
Continued strong emotions experienced.
Whenever he's near me, I get these chills all in my bones
Physical reactions even when in close proximity.
But tonight, tonight
Reiteration of the connection between him and the city.
He belongs to the city
The singer's acceptance of the situation without anger.
I’m not mad
The singer is not upset about the situation.
I’m not mad about it
Acceptance of the circumstance without resentment.
