Shoot!
Baby, o, I'm not much of a talker
Baby, o, can I drink from your water?
Baby, o, meet me down by the river
We can dance to the rhythm
'Til the sun is high and the water runs dry
Yes, we can make it far
Don't need inflatables
That's what the waves are for
What are you waiting for?
Yes, we can make it far
Don't need inflatables
That's what the waves are for
What are you waiting for?
Well, darling, if you leave, I'll go wherever you go
I'll wear your heart on my sleeve so everybody here knows
But if you tell me to stay, you'll never be on your own
So baby, don't wait too long
Baby, o, I'm not much of a talker
Baby, o, can I drink from your water?
Baby, o, meet me down by the river
We can dance to the rhythm
'Til the sun is high and the water runs dry
Yes, we can make it far
Don't need inflatables
That's what the waves are for
What are you waiting for?
Yes, we can make it far
Don't need inflatables
That's what the waves are for
What are you waiting for?
I'll bring you back the moon just so we got all night
I'll bring the sun down too, so I can show you the light
Trust me, if you ever leave, I'll be right by your side, oh
For you, I will ride, ah
Baby, o, I'm not much of a talker
Baby, o, can I drink from the water?
Baby, o, meet me down by the river
We can dance to the rhythm
'Til the sun is high and the water runs dry
Yes, we can make it far
Don't need inflatables (yeah)

'Til the sun is high and the water runs dry
The lyrics of "Water" by Beyoncé featuring Salatiel and Pharrell Williams revolve around the idea of love, passion, and the desire to be with someone. The song begins with a request to "drink from your water" which metaphorically can be interpreted as the desire to take in someone's essence and feel their presence. The chorus suggests that the couple can make it far without any help or external support. They can dance to the rhythm and enjoy the natural flow of the river until the sun sets and the water runs dry.
The second verse is particularly interesting because it talks about the commitment and promise to be with someone forever. The singer's intention is to follow the beloved wherever they go and let everyone know about their love. However, the beloved can decide to stay, and the singer will be there for them. The bridge shows the level of devotion the singer has towards their beloved by promising to bring back the moon, and if they leave, the singer will be there to ride and support them.
Overall, "Water" is a metaphorical representation of being fully immersed in a relationship and enjoying every moment of it without any external influence. The song signifies the passion, commitment, trust, and loyalty that are crucial in any romantic relationship.
