Feels
Calvin Harris Lyrics

Hey
The beginning of the song, an enthused greeting

No nothing ever lasts forever, no
Acknowledging the ephemeral nature of life and things

One minute you're here and the next you're gone
Highlighting the suddenness of change and loss

So I respect you, wanna take it slow (hey)
Expressing a desire for patience and admiration towards the person being addressed

I need a mental receipt to know this moment I owe
Asking for a way to remember and appreciate the current experience

Do you mind if I steal a kiss? (Chop, chop)
Asking for permission for an intimate act

A little souvenir, can I steal it from you?
Referring to the kiss as a memory to cherish and carry

To memorize the way you shock me (yeah)
Describing the feeling of being emotionally or romantically overwhelmed

The way you move it here (hey)
Noticing and appreciating the way the person being addressed carries themselves and interacts

Just wanna feel it from you (hey, ooh)
Desiring mutual intimacy and connection with the person being addressed

Don't be afraid to catch feels (ha)
Encouraging openness and vulnerability in emotional or romantic experiences

Ride drop top and chase thrills (hey)
Suggesting seeking adventure and excitement in life

I know you ain't afraid to pop pills (hey)
Alluding to drug use as a part of the lifestyle being referenced

Baby, I know you ain't scared to catch feels
Repeating the encouragement of being unafraid to experience emotions

Feels with me
Emphasizing the desire for connection and intimacy

I'm your window shopper (hey hi), sucker for your love, oh (yes)
Describing the role of the person being addressed as an object of affection and desire

I'm wearing your goggles, virtual (virtual) reality (hey yeah)
Suggesting a shared perspective or approach to life

It ain't what it cost you, it might be a dollar (hey)
Rejecting materialism and emphasizing the value of experience

As long as it shocks you, memory, electricity
Focusing on the emotional impact of experiences and memories

Goddamn, I know you love to make an entrance
Acknowledging the person being addressed as someone who seeks attention and has a flair for catching the eye

Do you like getting paid or getting paid attention? (Like, woah)
Asking whether the person being addressed values financial or social gains more

You mixed the wrong guys with the right intentions
Commenting on past relationship mistakes

In the same bed, but it still feel long distance (yeah, yeah)
Reflecting on the emotional distance that can exist even in physical proximity

You're looking for a little more consistency (I know)
Recognizing the desire for stability and reliability

But when you stop looking you gon' find what's meant to be
Suggesting that things will work out in their own time and way

And honestly, I'm way too done with the hoes
Rejecting past mistakes and destructive behaviours

I cut off all my exes for your x and o's (hey)
An expression of commitment and prioritization of the person being addressed

I feel my old flings was just preparing me (me)
Reflecting on past experiences as formative and instructive

When I say I want you, say it back, parakeet
Desiring mutual declaration and acknowledgment in the relationship

Flyin' first class through the air, Airbnb
Describing the high life and luxurious lifestyle

I'm the best you had, you just be comparing me to me
Asserting confidence and dominance in the relationship

I'ma "at" this at you, if I put you on my phone
Suggesting sending a social media message to the person being addressed

And upload it, it'd get maximum views
Triumphantly boasting of popularity and attention

I came through in the clutch with the lipsticks and phones
Implying a willingness to provide comfort and gifts

Wear your fave cologne just to get you alone
Suggesting the use of seductive tactics to spend time together

Don't be afraid to catch these feels
Reiterating the encouragement to embrace emotional connection

Feels with me
Emphasizing the desire for shared emotional experiences
