Lift Off
Conor Maynard Feat. Pharrell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can beat the world, with you behind me
My wine would be sweet if you were my grape
And we'll make the most beautiful love that's ever made, (you know it)
And I'll give you everything inside I never gave, (you know it)
If this is your world then I guess that means I'm your slave, (you know it)
Call yourself the master but you know you must behave, (you know it)
I wonder why they say, (they say)
The limit is the sky, (the sky),
It seems to me, we need to be, whatever is that high (that high)
Who says we need a plane, (plane)
When we can use our minds, (our minds)
It seems to be, we need to be, working on that tonight (tonight)
Your aura, it's so shiny
To find you didn't take that long
You're like a note, that's in there hiding
Subtle but special girl you make the song
And the way you fix your hair and two-step that's insane, (you know it)
And every time you smile at me ooh girl you're in my brain, (you know it)
But this is your world so I guess that would be OK, (you know it)
When you dance in front of me like that I can't debate, (you know it)
Tell me one thing
I wonder why they say, (they say)
The limit is the sky, (the sky)
It seems to me, we need to be, whatever is that high (that high)
Who says we need a plane, (plane)
When we can use our minds, (our minds)
It seems to be, we need to be, working on that tonight (tonight)
(Lift off) Let's see how far we can go, let's see how far we can go
Let's see how far we can go, let's see how far we can go
Let's see how far we can go, let's see how far we can go
Let's see how far we can go, let's see how far we can go
Lift off, lift off, lift off, lift off
I wonder why they say, (they say)
The limit is the sky, (the sky),
It seems to me, we need to be, whatever is that high (that high)
Who says we need a plane, (plane)
When we can use our minds, (our minds)
It seems to be, we need to be, working on that tonight (tonight)
In "Lift Off" by Conor Maynard, he uses romantic, metaphorical lyrics to describe the feeling of being infatuated with someone. He compares the girl he is singing to a daydream he can't escape, and expresses his desire to be with her, stating that they can conquer the world together. He also compliments her, describing her aura as shiny and her dancing as insane. Conor Maynard speaks about overcoming the world and making beautiful love with her, saying that he will give her everything that he's never given before. He mentions that he's the slave to her world, and that she must know how to behave well in it.
The second verse talks about how they need to reach the highest heights with each other, and they don't need a plane to do so, as they can use their minds. Conor Maynard sees the girl as something subtle but special that makes the song better, like a note in a composition. The chorus involves them aspiring to go higher, reach the skies, and work on it tonight. Afterward, they go on to lift off and see how far they can go.
