Move Together
Bay James Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Home now, end of the night
And it's colder to turn on your side
And I know you are up in two hours
But we didn't get tonight, we don't have tomorrow
So don't ruin now

How we gonna move together?
Just come closer
If we don't move together
Come closer
How we gonna breathe?
How we gonna be together?
Just keeping the peace between the sheets

And I creep in and everything's loud
And I'm sorry, I've woken you now
And we'll argue, the tiniest thing
But we didn't get tonight, don't have tomorrow
So I'm done whispering, done whispering

How we gonna move together?
Just come closer
If we don't move together
Just come closer
How we gonna breathe?
How we gonna be together?
Just keeping the peace between the sheets

So maybe don't give me cold, cold shoulder
Before you go, turn around and let me hold you
And let me say in the dark of the morning
Just one more thing

How we gonna move together?
Come closer
If we don't move together
Come closer
How we gonna breathe?
How we gonna be together?
Just keeping the peace




Just keeping the peace
Just keeping the peace between the sheets

Overall Meaning

The song "Move Together" by Bay James is a beautiful and emotional song about the struggle of balancing love and time. The singer of the song is in bed with their significant other, but they know that they have to leave early in the morning. The first verse talks about how it's colder to turn on your side, implying that the warmth of their partner was what made them feel secure. They know that they only have this night to be together, so they don't want to ruin it by arguing or creating any negativity.


The chorus is a plea for their partner to come closer and move together, to be in sync and be present with each other. The fear of losing this moment is palpable in the lyrics, and the singer wants to make the most of it. They ask how they are going to be together, how they are going to breathe, and keep the peace between the sheets. This is a metaphor for how they keep their relationship whole and healthy.


The second verse takes a turn as the singer creeps into bed and wakes up their partner. There is an argument, but they both know that it's because they are both afraid of losing each other. The chorus repeats, and the final verse is a plea for their partner not to leave without being held one more time. It's a poignant reminder that love can be fleeting, and we must cherish every moment we have with those we love.

Home now, end of the night
It's colder to turn on your side
And I know you're up in two hours
But we didn't get tonight, we don't have tomorrow
So don't ruin now.

How we gonna move together? Just come closer
If we don't move together, just come closer
How we gonna breathe? How we gonna be together?
Just keeping the peace between the sheets

And I creep in, and everything's loud
I'm sorry, I've woken you now
And we'll argue the tiniest thing
But we didn't get tonight, we don't have tomorrow
So I'm done whispering, done whispering.

How we gonna move together? Just come closer
If we don't move together, just come closer
How we gonna breathe? How we gonna be together?
Just keeping the peace between the sheets.

So maybe don't give me cold, cold shoulder
Before you go, turn around, let me hold you
And let me say in the dark of the morning
Just one more thing.

How we gonna move together? Just come closer
If we don't move together, come closer
How we gonna breathe? How we gonna be together?
Just keeping the peace, just keeping the peace
Just keeping the peace between these sheets.
