Lyrics
I know better now
I have gained knowledge and understanding.
I know better now
Reinforcement of the realization mentioned in line 1.
Messed up too many times
Admission of making mistakes multiple times.
Man I do need you around
Expressing a need for someone's presence.
To love you better now
Commitment to improve and love the person better.
To love you better now
Reiteration of the commitment to love better.
You keep me on my toes and I’m never coming down
Acknowledgment that the person keeps them alert and engaged.
I’m old enough to know the difference
Claiming maturity to distinguish between love and war.
Between love and war
Further emphasis on understanding the difference between love and war.
Ooh
Interjection expressing emotion.
You show me love that I been missing’
Recognition of receiving the love that was previously missed.
All along
Acknowledgment of the presence of love all along.
But I know better now
Reaffirmation of newfound knowledge and understanding.
I know better now
Repetition of the reaffirmation from line 13.
Messed up too many times, man I do need you around
Acknowledgment of past mistakes and the need for the person's presence.
To love you better now
Commitment to love the person better.
To love you better now
Reiteration of the commitment to love better.
You keep me on my toes and I’m never coming down
Acknowledgment of being constantly engaged and alert in the relationship.
Down, down, down
Repetition with emphasis on descent or a downward emotional state.
I know better now
Repetition of the realization mentioned in line 1.
I know better now
Reinforcement of the realization mentioned in line 1.
Ohh
Interjection expressing emotion.
I’m scared of losing ya
Admitting fear of losing the person.
Afraid you’re copping out
Expressing concern about the person giving up.
I hope you hear me now
Hoping the person understands the speaker's feelings.
When I say
Introducing a statement about to be made.
Oh follow me as we walking across borders
Invitation to follow the speaker across boundaries.
We’re on the edge, so close to the water
Describing a risky situation close to a significant change.
Are we gonna fall in?
Pondering the possibility of falling into the unknown.
Before I started running
Reflecting on a time before commitment.
But now baby I’m all in
Expressing full commitment now.
Yeah
Confirmation of commitment with enthusiasm.
And I know that I made my mistakes and
Acknowledging past mistakes made by the speaker.
And somewhere I lost my way yeah
Admitting to losing one's way at some point.
But I am here to right my wrongs baby
Expressing a desire to correct past mistakes.
Ohh
Interjection expressing emotion.
I know better now
Reaffirmation of newfound knowledge and understanding.
I know better now
Repetition of the reaffirmation from line 37.
Messed up too many times, man I do need you around
Acknowledgment of past mistakes and the need for the person's presence.
To love you better now
Commitment to love the person better.
To love you better now
Reiteration of the commitment to love better.
You keep me on my toes and I’m never coming down, down, down
Acknowledgment of being constantly engaged and alert in the relationship.
I know better now
Repetition with emphasis on descent or a downward emotional state.
I know better now
Repetition of the realization mentioned in line 1.
Ohh
Interjection expressing emotion.
