Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's July in
The city again
Spending
Your time with
The same friends
How do I reach you, baby?
Too good for me
How do I tell you, darling?
I've been underwater
I can't breathe
I don't
Wanna
Deal with
Drama
Tryna
Pretend
This is not my problem
I'll keep saying, "Sorry"
For mistakes I never made
I'll keep saying, "Sorry"
Just to make it go your way
Go your way
'Cause I can't deal without you
Go your way
'Cause I can't be without you
Jordan (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I've been dying (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
To meet you at your place (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Stay in (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Kissing (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
'Til you're red in the face (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Is your mind in focus
I don't think you notice
That you're
Too good for me
It feels like you're rushing
Trying to find something
Bigger than me
I don't
Wanna
Deal with
Drama
Tryna
Pretend
This is not my problem
I'll keep saying, "Sorry"
For mistakes I never made

'Cause I can't deal without you
Go your way
The lyrics to Claud's song "Jordan" delve into the complexities of a relationship where one person constantly feels inadequate and unsure of their worth. The singer, referred to as "baby" and "darling" in the song, expresses their deep admiration and love for the person named Jordan. However, they also feel overwhelmed by Jordan's perceived perfection and believe that Jordan deserves someone better than them. They confess to feeling underwater and suffocated, unable to find their own voice and struggling to breathe in the relationship.
The chorus reflects their desire to avoid any unnecessary drama and conflict. They apologize repeatedly, even for mistakes they never made, just to keep things peaceful and make Jordan happy. There is a sense of self-sacrifice and a willingness to do whatever it takes to maintain the relationship, even if it means suppressing their own needs and desires.
The bridge suggests that the singer feels like Jordan is constantly searching for something bigger and better, potentially indicating feelings of insecurity and fear of not being enough. The song ends with the repeated plea for Jordan to go their own way, as the singer believes they cannot function without them, highlighting their dependence on this person despite feeling inadequate.
