Awake
Chiiild & Mahalia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Meet me in the bedroom, lay there awake
I've been thinking 'bout this thing here all week
One night could feel like four days, yeah
Meet me in the bedroom, lay there awake
Time slows down when you pull up to the venue, uh
Michelin star crib and my body's on the menu
'Cause I still get butterflies daily
Like the first day that I met you (met you)
I got a dilemma ('lemma)
Whenever (never) we're not together
If you're tryna be the Nelly to my Kelly
Pull up on me, no pressure, so
Meet me in the bedroom, lay there awake
I've been thinking 'bout this thing here all week
(I've been thinking 'bout this, I)
One night could feel like four days (yeah, yeah, oh)
Meet me in the bedroom, lay there awake
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
You've been feeling distant
We're omitting our natural fixes
Your body's the mission
Tunnel vision on nights like this
(Nights) This
Yeah
I know you work hard
Hardly working on yourself
(Won't you?) Let go of your stress
Lay back
Lay back, decompress
Meet me in the bedroom, lay there awake
I've been thinking 'bout this thing here all week
One night could feel like four days
Meet me in the bedroom, lay there awake
