Between Us
DVSN Lyrics

Ah
Lighthearted expression used to initiate conversation

Whatcha doin'?
Asking what the other person is currently occupied with

Really?
Skeptically verifying the authenticity of the prior response

You know I'm comin' over, right?
Informing the other person about the artist's plans to arrive soon

Ayy, baby, tell me whatcha wanna do
Asking the other person for input on what activities they want to engage in

Let me start by sayin' sorry
The singer seeks to apologize for their behavior

Some days I take your time for granted
The singer admits to not valuing the other person's time enough

You could be the star in my universe
The artist acknowledges the other person's potential importance in their life

If I just took time to plan it
The artist believes that they could have a better relationship with the other person if they put effort into it

Told me secrets you ain't wanna
The other person trusted the artist with sensitive information

Trust is big for you
The other person values trust highly in relationships

That's why I'm keeping it a hunna
The artist promises to be honest with the other person

Crazy vulnerable shit in common
The singer and the other person share experiences that make them feel exposed

Just keeps us apart when we should be starting
Their shared vulnerabilities are causing a rift in their relationship instead of bringing them closer together

To keep our promises, we could be promisin'
The singer suggests that they both keep their promises to each other and continue to work on their relationship

You say I'm closed off
The other person thinks that the artist is not open enough with their emotions

Let's open up and take our clothes off
The artist suggests that they both become more vulnerable and intimate with each other

Don't be sorry, just be careful, baby
The other person does not want the singer to apologize, but to be more considerate

You know my heart is fragile
The other person's emotions are easily hurt

Don't say shit that you don't really mean
The other person wants the artist to be honest about their intentions and not speak insincerely

'Cause that's just hard to handle
The emotional repercussions of insincere words or actions are difficult to deal with

I love how it was when it was just me and you
The other person misses the times when they were alone with the artist

They know the truth so we gon' watch how we move
The singer acknowledges that their relationship is being scrutinized by outside forces so they must be careful with their actions

But nothin' beats the feelin' that you givin' me
The artist loves the way the other person makes them feel

Even if it ain't forever, ooh
The singer knows that the relationship may not last forever, but still cherishes the present moment

Just keep it honest, we made some promises
The singer wants both of them to be truthful and keep their commitments to each other

They got opinions, but that won't change a thing
The singer acknowledges that others may have their own opinions, but it will not affect their relationship

We got each other, let's shut the world up
The artist believes that their relationship is strong enough to overcome external factors

And take our clothes off, baby, yeah
The artist wants to get more intimate with the other person

I don't want nothing in between us (ooh, oh)
The singer wants nothing to come between their relationship

Nothing there to stop the feeling (yeah, yeah, yeah)
The singer wants their emotions and connection to remain strong

I don't want nothing in between us (nothin' else between us, oh, oh)
The artist wants a direct and unobstructed relationship with the other person

Got me thinking this might be love (be us, yeah)
The artist is starting to believe that their relationship is becoming more serious

Oh, oh
An expression of strong emotions

Oh yeah
Affirming that the statement just made is true
