Camila Cabello Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Came across a picture of you and her online
She looks at you like she knows that
You’re bored out of your mind
I'm wrapped in his arms
Feeling perfectly alone
But I know there's been a mix-up
Because I wish his hands were yours
So come closer, closer
Darling, I thought of a plan
Let me whisper, whisper
So that you can understand
We'll be dressed in, dressed in
All black from head to toe
Only we'll know, only we'll know

I think we should trade
Cupid told me he was drunk that day
And so he shot two arrows the wrong way
I heard him say i think we should trade
We'll tell him let's go on a double date
And meet us up at six in the cafe
We'll run away and call it the exchange

Blink twice if it's true
But do you think about it too (you, you do)
You said you're running out with her
It tells me that you do (I know that you do)
There's beats that I've been skippin'
When my head is on your chest (you, you do)
And you know if it were us two
It'd be cardiac arrest

So come closer, closer
Darling, I thought of a plan
Let me whisper, whisper
So that you can understand
We'll be dressed in, dressed in
All black from head to toe
Only we'll know, only we'll know, woah

I think we should trade
Cupid told me he was drunk that day
And so he shot two arrows the wrong way
I heard him say

Now that you know it's true, know it's true
There's nothing like me and you
And you've been trying to say it ain't true
But it's starving me how I look at you
I know that you know it's true
Know it's true
There's nothing like me and you
And you've been trying to say it ain't true
But it's starving me how I love you
I know that you know it's true
Know it's true
There's nothing like me and you
And you've been trying to say it ain't true
But it's starving me how I look at you
I know that you know
There's nothing like me and you

I think we should trade
We'll tell him we'll go on a double date
And meet us up at six in the cafe




We'll run away what do you say we run away?
We'll call it the exchange

Overall Meaning

In "The Exchange," Camila Cabello sings about a love triangle where she is caught between a current partner and her desire for someone else. She begins by admitting that she saw a picture of her partner with another woman online, and she can tell from the woman's expression that her partner is bored. Meanwhile, Camila finds herself wrapped in her partner's arms, feeling lonely. She then unveils her plan to trade partners with the guy she really wants, who she believes also has feelings for her. They will dress in all black and meet up at a café to run away, calling it "the exchange."


Line by Line Meaning

Came across a picture of you and her online
I saw a photo of you with someone else on the internet


She looks at you like she knows that
The other person in the photo seems to understand that you're not interested


You’re bored out of your mind
You're not even having fun with the other person


I'm wrapped in his arms
I'm physically with someone else


Feeling perfectly alone
Despite being with someone, I feel lonely


But I know there's been a mix-up
I feel like there has been a mistake or misunderstanding


Because I wish his hands were yours
I really want to be with you instead of this other person


So come closer, closer
I want to be physically closer to you


Darling, I thought of a plan
I have an idea to try and be with you


Let me whisper, whisper
I'll tell you quietly so no one else can hear


So that you can understand
I want to make sure you know what I'm saying


We'll be dressed in, dressed in, all black from head to toe
We'll both wear black clothes


Only we'll know, only we'll know
No one else will know what we're doing


I think we should trade
Let's swap partners


Cupid told me he was drunk that day
I don't trust love to bring us together naturally


And so he shot two arrows the wrong way
Love made a mistake and paired us with the wrong person


Now that you know it's true, know it's true
I want you to acknowledge that our feelings for each other are real


There's nothing like me and you
We have a special connection


And you've been trying to say it ain't true
You've been denying our feelings for each other


But it's starving me how I look at you
It hurts me to look at you and not be with you


There's beats that I've been skippin'
My heart races when I'm near you


When my head is on your chest (you, you do)
I feel safe and comfortable with you


And you know if it were us two
We both understand that we are meant to be together


It'd be cardiac arrest
Our love is intense and powerful


What do you say we run away?
Let's escape our current situations and be together


We'll call it the exchange
We'll call our plan the exchange

Lyrics
You said you hated the ocean, but you're surfin' now
I said I'd love you for life, but I just sold our house
We were kids at the start, I guess we're grown-ups now, mm
Couldn't ever imagine even havin' doubts
But not everything works out, no

Now I'm out dancin' with strangers
You could be casually datin'
Damn, it's all changin' so fast

Así es la vida, sí
Yeah, that's just life, baby
Yeah, love came around and it knocked me down
But I'm back on my feet

Así es la vida, sí
Yeah, that's just life, baby
I was barely standin', but now I'm dancin'
He's all over me (goza)

Bidi-bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam
Bidi-bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam
Bidi-bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam
Bidi-bam-bam-bam-bam (así es la vida)

Bidi-bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam (uh-huh)
Bidi-bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam (uh-huh)
Bidi-bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam (uh-huh)
Bidi-bam-bam-bam-bam

It's been a hell of a year, thank God we made it out
Yeah, we were riding a wave, and trying not to drown
And on the surface, I held it together but underneath, I sorta came unwound
Where would I be? You're all that I need, my world, baby, you hold me down
You always hold me down, now

I've been a breaker and broken
Every mistake turns to moments
Wouldn't take anything back

Así es la vida, sí (así e')
Yeah, that's just life, baby
Yeah, love came around and it knocked me down
But I'm back on my feet

Así es la vida, sí
Yeah, that's just life, baby
I was barely standin', but now I'm dancin'
He's all over me

Bidi-bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam
Bidi-bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam
Bidi-bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam
Bidi-bam-bam-bam-bam (ahí, ahí)

Bidi-bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam
Bidi-bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam
Bidi-bam-bam-bam-bam, bam-bam
Bidi-bam-bam-bam-bam (pónganle azúcar, mi gente)

Y sigue bailando, hey
Y sigue bailando, ajá (keep dancing, yeah)
Y sigue bailando (keep dancing, yeah)
Y sigue bailando (ayy)

ajá, y sigue bailando
(Keep dancing, yeah) y sigue bailando (ayy)
(Hay amor en todos lados) y sigue bailando, uoh
(Sigue, sigue, sigue bailando)

Así es la vida, sí
Yeah, that's just life, baby
Yeah, love came around and it knocked me down
But I'm back on my feet

Así es la vida, sí
Yeah, that's just life, baby
I was barely standin', but now I'm dancin'
She's all over me (hey, hey)

Now I'm, now I'm dancin' (keep dancing, yeah)
Now I'm, now I'm dancin' (keep dancing, yeah)
Now I'm, now I'm dancin' (keep dancing, yeah)
(Bam-bam-bam-bam) (hey, hey)

And now I'm dancin' (keep dancing, yeah)
Now I'm dancin' (keep dancing, yeah)
(Bam-bam-bam-bam) eh

[Verse 2: Ed Sheeran]
It's been a hell of a year, thank God we made it out
Yeah, we were ridin' a wave and trying not to drown
And on the surface, I held it together
But underneath, I sorta came unwound
Where would I be? You're all that I need
My world, baby, you hold me down
You always hold me down

[Pre-Chorus: Ed Sheeran, Ed Sheeran & Camila Cabello]
Well, I've been a breaker and broken
Every mistake turns to moments
Wouldn't take anything back
