Charli XCX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, ayy, brrr
Yeah, yeah, ayy, ayy
Under the moonlight
She said she felt the mood right
And said, "Is everything right?"
We drunk up off that moonshine
She look just like the star shine
I gave that bitch my sunshine
It's peakin' through the highrise
It's peakin' through the
Ayy, but it don't mean shit if you ain't happy, though
Happiness is all that matters, I hope you know
And fuck it, let's just see what happens, take a risk, let's take a trip
Swervin' off the bourbon, hope we don't hit the dip
Ayy, on my Post Malone shit, now I got my own bitch
Money that I spent so now you know I fuckin' own shit
Yeah, I'm on my own, feelin' alone, drink Patron
Got them evil bitches all up in my motherfuckin' zone
Ayy, ayy, ayy
And why you never answer phones?
Ayy, ayy
And yeah, I'm chillin' home alone
Back in high school, she didn't know me, now that shit's changed
Now her family show me praise
That shit seem like super fake
Under the moonlight
She said she felt the mood right
And said, "Is everything right?"
We drunk up off that moonshine
We look up at the star lights
She look just like the star shine
I gave that bitch my sunshine
It's peakin' through the highrise
It's peakin' through the
Ayy, but it don't mean shit if you ain't happy, though
Happiness is all that matters, yes, I hope you know
And fuck it, let's just see what happens, take a risk, let's take a trip
Swervin' off the bourbon, hope we don't hit the dip
White Mercedes, whip it
Doin' one-fifty, hope I do not crash
Fuck that bitch and hit the dash (dash)
Fuck that bitch and hit the dash (dash)
I be on my superhero, baby
Let's just fly away
Go away
If you broke my heart, I hope you go away
White Mercedes, whip it
Watch me strippin', press up on the glass
Do it good, I'm on the dash
Put you right up on the dash
I be on my Al Pacino level, high as fuck today
Robbery, if you break my heart, you better run away
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, under the moonlight
She said she felt the mood right
I told her, "hold my hand"
She said, "Is everything right?"
We drunk up off that moonshine
We look up at the star lights
She look just like the star shine (ayy, ayy)
Ayy, but it don't mean shit if you ain't happy, though
Happiness is all that matters, yes, I hope you know
And fuck it, let's just see what happens, take a risk, let's take a trip
Swervin' off the bourbon, hope we don't hit the dip
Yeah, yeah, Marilyn Monroe shit
Blow you away, blow you away, like you alive shit
Wear a white dress, rip it off, lay me down in the grass shit
Fuck it up, 4 am, swimming pool after dark shit
Summer nights, Pacific Highway coast
I just really wanna pull you close
Always love the things I lose the most
Oh, oh, oh
Fall in love and then we let it go
Always love the things I lose the most, yeah
Hop in the ride, ruh ruh
The song tells the story of two people, possibly strangers, who come together under the moonlight, get drunk off moonshine, and bond over their shared experience. The singer explores themes of happiness, risks, and taking chances, emphasizing that happiness is all that matters and that risks should be taken, even if they may end in failure or disappointment. The chorus repeats this sentiment, emphasizing that happiness is more important than material success or superficial pleasures. The verses oscillate between introspection, with the singer lamenting his loneliness and reflecting on his past, and hedonism, with references to fast cars, drugs, and reckless behavior.
The chorus is the main point of the song and highlights the value of happiness over everything else. The song bridges the gap between melancholy and euphoria, showcasing a fusion of feelings that often take hold of us. The chorus talks about taking chances, and the line "fuck it, let's just see what happens, take a risk, let's take a trip" encapsulates the idea of living in the moment and making the most of every opportunity. In the second verse, lyrics such as "If you break my heart, you better run away" showcase vulnerability, which goes to how risky love can be. It's filled with thought-provoking lyrics that will resonate with listeners.
