Come Over
12AM Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Get that shit out there
I was like, I've been talking to you since September
I know that's a little sketchy, but like
I had broke up with my boyfriend in December
So I have been talking to you since September, yeah

No, I can't sleep
Been a little while since you called me

I notice that your friends still follow me
I'ma hit you up, would you wanna meet?
'Cause I kinda need it
See, baby, I'm a lottery pick
We should stop textin' and swappin' these pics
You should come over and sit on the end of this bed

Don't tell nobody
Just me and you in the hotel lobby
It's always sunny, baby

You should come over and fuck
You should come over, get drunk
You ain't gotta tell nobody
'Cause, baby, I know what you want
You should come over, get drunk
You should come over, get some
You should come over, yeah
Yeah, you should come over, over, yeah

Baby, you too hot to handle
I could be Harry, you Frank, though
Baby, I'm just bein' frank though
I'll take my shot, you know I got the ammo
Put a ring on it
Gonna make me fall, so I spring on it
Sugar sweet and she got a peach on it
Thick thighs, baby, I'ma keep callin' like

Don't tell nobody
Just me and you in the hotel lobby
It's always sunny, baby

You should come over and fuck
You should come over, get drunk
You ain't gotta tell nobody
'Cause, baby, I know what you want
You should come over, get drunk
You should come over, get some
You should come over, yeah
Yeah, you should come over, over, yeah

You should come over, over, yeah
You should come over, over, yeah

No one came over
I mean Matt came over, but Matt slept in the guest bed unaware
Hey, Matt did not come over to fuck me

Matt came over for a good night's sleep
(Matt came over for a good night's sleep and that is it)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 12AM's song "Come Over" depict a late-night phone conversation between two former lovers who are yearning to see each other again. The singer of the story is feeling restless as he has not heard from his former flame for a while. He urges her to come over to his hotel room since he knows what she wants. The chorus of the song features the temptation to have sexual relations with the ex-partner, with the singer addressing that it could be their little secret. The song represents the urge to rekindle a former intimate relationship, all while acknowledging the risks of doing so.

The chorus of the song echoes the emphasis on secrecy, as it only talks about the two characters in the hotel lobby. This secrecy is reminiscent of an affair that is taboo and should be concealed from others. The tone of the song is seductive, and it's designed to be an invitation to take risks and indulge in intimacy.

It is worth noting that the song's simplicity conveys the urge to have sexual relations with a former lover without attaching any emotion to it - this is not presented as a love song. The chorus is repetitive, as it drives toward the singer's intention to have the former lover come over. The lyrics talk more about physical attraction and desire as opposed to emotional connection.
