Parking Lot
Anderson .Paak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the while, I never knew the tone of your voice
A half an hour, I ramble on way too much
(My love)
Alone with my own thoughts
(My love)
(1, 2, 3, come on-) Enough is enough
I'm in a communion, I got needs
The combination of all my life's complaints and a few strong dreams
(Come on, you f-)
I don't remember the parking lot
I just remember it's all the same
(Come on, you f-)
(My love)
And it's all the same
(My love)
1, 2, 3, come on, you feel me (Remember it's all-)
Bring the corners from left to right
I'm in the mode to take you to crossfade
Coming closer to midnight
And I'm wide awake
And ain't you afraid to fade?
Couldn't wait to get you naked on the first date
But you made me wait
So it takes one to make one
The compromise we made
Please believe me
I don't recall the parking lot
I just remember it's all the same
And it's all the same
1, 2, 3, come on, you feel me (My love)
Come on, you feel me
(Remember the parking lot)
Come on, you feel me (My love)
Come on, you feel me
1, 2, 3, come on, you feel me (My love)
1, 2, 3, come on
Come on, you feel me (My love)
Come on, you feel me (It's all the same)
1, 2, 3, come on, you feel me (My love)
1, 2, 3, come on
"Parking Lot" by Anderson .Paak is a song about a conversation that took place in a parking lot between him and someone he was interested in. The first verse talks about how the person opened up and shared their life story with him, but he never really paid attention to their tone of voice. He then realizes that he has been talking way too much and needs to listen more. The second verse talks about how he is in a state of confusion about his feelings and needs, and how he remembers the parking lot but not the details of the conversation. The chorus repeats the phrase "1, 2, 3, come on, you feel me" over and over again, emphasizing that he wants the listener to understand him and his emotions.
Throughout the song, Anderson .Paak uses his signature style of mixing soul, hip-hop, and R&B. He also incorporates his background as a drummer, creating a driving beat and interesting rhythms. The lyrics are poetic and thought-provoking, as he delves into themes of love, communication, and self-discovery.
