Camila Cabello Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never thought it was nothing special
'Til you kissed me there
No, I never liked windy cities
But I think maybe when you're with me
I like everywhere
(Oh) it's the strangest feeling
No, for once, I think I'll stay (oh)
I say your name, just listen
Doesn't it sound different?
Never whispered it this way
It's gonna take me a minute
But I could get used to this
The feeling of your fingertips
The feeling of another kiss
It's gonna take me a minute (oh)
But I could get used to this (oh)
Like every tattoo on your skin
I'm memorizing every inch
I could get used to this (oh, oh, oh, oh)
I could get used to this
Definitely
No, I never did like tequila
But there's somethin' 'bout when I see ya
Think I need a drink
And the calluses on your fingers
I admired them from a distance
Now they're on my cheek
Oh, I've known you forever
Now I know you better
Let's just get carried away, oh
And it bears repeating
Now my heart's bleeding
When you tell me that you'll stay
It's gonna take me a minute
But I could get used to this
The feeling of your fingertips
The feeling of another kiss
It's gonna take me a minute
But I could get used to this
Like every tattoo on your skin
I'm memorizing every inch
I could get used to this (oh, oh, oh, oh)
I could get used to this (oh, stay, stay, stay, stay)
I could get used to this (oh, oh, oh, oh)
I could get used to this (oh)
Definitely
No, I never liked San Francisco
Never thought it was nothing special
'Til you kissed me there
Oh, it's gonna take me a minute
But I could get used to this
The feeling of your fingertips
The feeling of another kiss (the feeling of another kiss)
It's gonna take me a minute
But I could get used to this
Like every tattoo on your skin (on your skin)
I'm memorizing every inch
I could get used to this
I feel it all
I could get used to this
Your kisses, oh
I'll risk it all
Seventeen when we started to fall
But we lost it all
And I just can't believe it all
Definitely

I'm experiencing an unusual emotion
Midnight, I'm not leaving
I don't want to leave even at midnight
No, for once, I think I'll stay (oh)
For once, I believe that I will remain here
I say your name, just listen
I say your name, listen to the way I speak it
Doesn't it sound different?
Doesn't it sound unusual?
Never whispered it this way
I have never spoken your name in this manner before
It's gonna take me a minute
It might take me a while to adjust

The feeling of your fingertips
The sensation of your fingertips

But when I see you, something about it makes me want to drink tequila
Think I need a drink
I think I need to have a drink now
And the calluses on your fingers
I like the hardness of your fingers
I admired them from a distance
I liked your fingers but never had the chance to express it
Now they're on my cheek
And now your fingers are on my cheek, and I like it
Oh, I've known you forever
I've known you for an eternity
Now I know you better
But now, I understand you much better
Let's just get carried away, oh
Let's immerse ourselves in this feeling and go beyond the limit
And it bears repeating
This must be repeated several times
Now my heart's bleeding
Now, my heart feels emotional
When you tell me that you'll stay
When you say you'll stay with me, it makes me feel emotional
I feel it all
I can feel everything
Your kisses, oh
Particularly, I can feel the sensation of your kisses
I'll risk it all
I will take a chance with everything
Seventeen when we started to fall
When we started falling for each other, I was only seventeen
But we lost it all
But we lost our chance to be together
And I just can't believe it all
And it's hard for me to accept that we lost it all
Definitely
Without a doubt

I just love the way Finneas produces music. He has a way of making the music place you at a scene. In the beginning he puts the sound of how the streets in San Francisco would be. When Camila said “I think I need a drink” you can hear someone pour a drink and then the sound of the glasses clinking. And then when Camila talks about callouses on the persons fingers, you can hear the sound of like a guitar because this person clearly plays the guitar. Then you hear a ticking sound in the back of the music which mean that in time, she’ll get use to being with this person. I just love the little, yet, well thought details throughout this whole song. My favorite of the whole album 🤍
Sean Patrick James Flores
We have the same analysis. And yeah, this is my favorite from the album too.
