몇 번의 빈 잔 몇 통의 메시지

비집고 걸려오는 callin' (call, callin')
Ooh, it's my fuckin' (shit) my fuckin' ex, ooh, yeah
아니 사실 덤덤했는데 왜
뻥 좀 보태 기억도 안났는데
근데 수화기 너머선 너의 목소리는 왜인지 yeah, yeah
뻔뻔하게도 너무나 자연스러웠지 (so)

요즘 넌 어때 어때 잘 지내
그 새끼는 어때 어때 어때 어때 다 만족해
그래 좀 어때 어때 잘 지내
꽤나 궁금했지만 but I said nothin'

'Cause I'm motherfuckin' good and I get that money
I can tell this feeling mo mo mo motherfuckin' good

I'm motherfuckin' good right now, hella good right now
I can tell this feeling mother, motherfuckin' good right now

Overall Meaning

The singer regrets the initial decision to get together that fateful night, as the thought of losing their love interest is unbearable. Although they haven't spoken since that night, the memory of the person lingers on every day. The singer is unsure about what to say as they desire to reconcile their relationship. They're drawn to the person, and despite what anyone says they're the only one that they're interested in. The singer is open about the impact that the person has had on their life, as they were unaware of the meaning of love until they met them. The song describes the need to take a chance on love, as staying up past three is worth it if it means being with the one they love.

Line by Line Meaning

We shouldn't have got together that night 'cause I can't see you go
I regret seeing you that night because I can't bear the thought of losing you

You left no call no letter making me pickup the phone
You didn't leave any message, I had to call you myself

And here I am trying to talk real smooth but I don't know what to say
I'm struggling to sound suave, but I'm at a loss for words

Hate to say I can't stop thinking 'bout but my room smells like you everyday
I hate to admit it, but I can't stop thinking about you and your scent lingers in my room

That night to your friend you said
You confided in your friend that night

I think i'm gonna talk to him instead
You were considering talking to someone else

And when you talked to me
But you ended up talking to me

Damn girl, we were up 'till three!
And wow, did we stay up late that night!

I don't know what it is about you
I don't exactly know why, but

You're the only one that I'm into
You're the only person I'm attracted to

Stuck in my head no matter what I do
I can't get you out of my mind no matter what I try

Sounds like a line but I swear it's all true
It might sound like a cliche, but I genuinely mean it

I don't care what they've said
I don't care about what others have said

Rather you be here not just in my head
I'd rather have you with me in reality than just in my thoughts

You opened my eyes to something brand new
You showed me something I've never seen before

Didn't know bout miracles 'till I found you
I didn't believe in miracles until I met you

Here we are kissing in your car after about a million tries
After countless attempts, we finally ended up kissing in your car

You haven't said anything yet but I can see it in your eyes
You haven't expressed your feelings yet, but I can tell by looking into your eyes

I'm sure you've heard this before but I'm not wasting your time
I know you may have heard this a lot, but I'm serious and not trying to waste your time

So take a chance on this romance I'll be there for you every time
Give this relationship a chance, and I promise to always be there for you

Come go with me
Join me and let's go somewhere

Staying up past three
We'll stay up late together

You know you wanna be with me
Deep down, you want to be with me

No I didn't know bout miracles 'till I found you
Seriously, I didn't believe in miracles until I met you
