Un-Thinkable
Alicia Keys/Drake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someones gotta take the lead tonight
Who's it gonna be?
I'm gonna sit right here
And tell you all that comes to me
If you have something to say
You should say it right now
And I deserve it, I think I deserve it
Its becoming something that's impossible to ignore
And I can't take it
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready
I know you said to me
"This is exactly how it should feel when its meant to be"
Time is only wasting so why wait for eventually
If we gonna do something 'bout it
We should do it right now
(We should do it right now)
You give me a feeling that I never felt before
And I deserve it, I know I deserve it
Its becoming something that's impossible to ignore
It is what we make it
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy
Or would it be so beautiful either way I'm sayin'
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready
Why give up before we try
Feel the lows before the highs
Clip our wings before we fly away (fly away)
I can't say I came prepared
I'm suspended in the air
Won't you come be in the sky with me
I was wondering maybe
Could I make you my baby
If we do the unthinkable would it make us look crazy
Or would it be so beautiful either way I'm sayin'
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready
If you ask me I'm ready
The lyrics of Alicia Keys and Drake's song Un-Thinkable speak directly to a moment of honesty that is happening between two people. The singer insists that one of them needs to take the lead, and they are willing to do it. The singer has a feeling they have never felt before, and it is becoming impossible to ignore. They are asking if they could make the person they are speaking to their baby. However, they fear that if they do the "unthinkable," they will look crazy.
This song is about two people who are in the early stages of a relationship, both trying to find their footing and take the next step. The lyrics are an honest confession of feelings and desires, with the singer inviting the other person to do the same. They are acknowledging the fear and uncertainty that comes with taking risks in relationships.
The chorus talks about the singer's desire to make the person they are speaking to their baby. The use of the word "baby" suggests the desire for something long-term, and the singer is asking if doing something unconventional would make them both look crazy. The song's message is about being honest and true to oneself and pursuing love regardless of fear or uncertainty.
