Water Fall
Anderson .Paak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I pray you don't have to cut my time short
I would rather not say much
But if I do, it will be forward
I can't pull no punches, baby doll
The gods have approved
The universe is in tune with me and you
That's why we here involved
What you do this for?
Your body moves and fluid motion
Hands in two and two
Who's it for? Ooh, it's yours
I don't know if I'm the one you want to stay with
But I know that I'm the only one who makes you come
And as soon as I break down the wall
I'm riding the wave of your waterfall
As soon as I break down the wall
I'm riding the wave of your waterfall
As soon as I break down the wall
I'm riding the wave of your waterfall
Ooh, don't touch me baby
Don't touch me baby
Wait, I'm okay, I'm alright
Give me space, don't touch me baby
In "Fall" by Anderson .Paak, the artist expresses his unbridled love and admiration for someone he has fallen for deeply. He looks forward to the moment when they can take off together, but expresses his fear that time may be cut short. He doesn't wish to say too much, but wants to be honest and upfront about his emotions towards this person. He is fully transparent and doesn't hold back his feelings in any way. He believes that his love for this person is approved by the gods, signaling that they are meant to be together. Their timing seems perfect to him and he believes that they are both in tune with the universe.
The artist is so deeply in love that he can't help but be mesmerized by the fluid motion of his lover's body. He watches as they move their hands in unison and wonders who it's for, realizing that their touch and movements are just for them. He's not sure if he's the one that his lover wants to stay with forever, but he's certain that he is the only one that makes them come alive. He's excited to break down the walls that may be separating them and ride the wave of their waterfall-like love once they are together.
