Look At Us Now
Ally Brooke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said I wouldn't be that person, now I'm callin' you
Oh my gosh, why am I driving?
Said I wouldn't let myself fall back inside of you
Said we shouldn't talk but now we're talkin'
Said we shouldn't touch but now we're touchin'
Said we wouldn't, said we wouldn't, who we fooling?
Look at us now
I just drove to your house, ready for another
When we ain't together
Don't this just feel better, yeah?
We're better when we're not tied down
Turn my ex to my rebound, ready for another
When we ain't together
Don't this just feel better, yeah?
Look at us now
Look at us now
Wakin' up, feelin' stupid
Said I wouldn't be that person, now I'm here with you
Should've known that I would do this
Why do I even try, try, try, try
Said we shouldn't talk but now we're talkin'
(Now we're talkin')
Said we shouldn't touch but now we're touchin'
(We're touchin' now)
Said we wouldn't, said we wouldn't, who we fooling?
Probably shouldn't
Look at us now
I just drove to your house, ready for another
When we ain't together
Don't this just feel better, yeah?
We're better when we're not tied down
Turn my ex to my rebound, ready for another
When we ain't together
Don't this just feel better, yeah?
Look at us now
I wanna touch, I wanna rub, I wanna kiss, I wanna love
I wanna uh
I wanna go, I wanna stay, I wanna leave, I wanna lay
I wanna hug
Keep telling me that it's okay, don't wanna play
Don't wanna argue or fuss
Don't wanna hurt, don't wanna curse
It be the girls like you that I won't wanna trust
Lust
Really wanna come to, I don't really know how to run from you
And I'm not here 'cause I want to be
I'm just here 'cause I want you
Can we just kick it like kung fu?
My heart's feelin' like what a dumb fool
Man, it felt like I was the only one
I know there was a reason why I felt you
Look at us now
I just drove to your house, ready for another
When we ain't together
Don't this just feel better, yeah?
We're better when we're not tied down
Turn my ex to my rebound, ready for another
When we ain't together
Don't this just feel better, yeah?
Look at us now

The song Look At Us Now by Ally Brooke is about falling back in love with someone you previously promised yourself you wouldn't. The singer expresses their disbelief in their own weakness for the person they're with, but also their undying desire to be with them. They keep breaking their own promise of not talking, touching, and being together, and they justify it by saying that it feels better when they're not tied down. The singer is aware of their own shortcomings and regrets, but they can't seem to help themselves from going back to their ex. They miss the intimacy and the comfort that the relationship brings them.
The song also touches on the theme of trust and vulnerability. The singer is hesitant to trust their ex again, but at the same time, they admit to wanting to be with them. They are conflicted between their desire to be loved and their fear of being hurt again. The line "It be the girls like you that I won't wanna trust" suggests that the singer has been hurt before by someone similar to their ex, and they are afraid of getting hurt again.
Overall, the song is a bittersweet reflection on the complexities of love and relationships. The singer is aware of their own flaws and mistakes, but at the same time, they can't seem to resist the temptation of being with their ex again.

I don't understand why ally is so underrated. She's such a sunshine but people choose to ignore her. Y'all aren't harmonizers if you're there for only 3 of them
astrum
I know right? She's got amazing vocals too. She is the backbone of 5h after Mila left. They had to get a new contract and she contacted their lawyer! She deserves so much more.
astrum
