Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I did it to myself again
Supposed to be a friendship, yeah
But if you wanna touch me, know that you can
Caught feelings and it's dangerous, yeah
I did it to myself again
You're talking like you want me
So if you wanna touch me, know that you can
You're talking like you want me
Know that you can, oh
I get so nervous when I'm with you
I get so nervous, yeah, yeah
I've been talking to the heavens, yeah
Tryna see what's up
Lately I've been contemplating if I should hit you up
But you don't, you don't, you don't, you don't
So I'm wondering why I gotta, oh
You set fire to my waterfalls when I'm trying just to stay afloat
All I ever wanted was to be your baby
Now I'm sick to my stomach 'cause she's your baby
I can't get you out my headspace, yeah
I did it to myself again
Supposed to be a friendship, yeah
But if you wanna touch me, know that you can
Caught feelings and it's dangerous, yeah
I did it to myself again
You're talking like you want me
So if you wanna touch me, know that you can
Oh, know that you can
Caught feelings and it's dangerous, yeah, oh
Know that you can
You're talking like you want me
Know that you can
I get so nervous when I'm with you
I get so nervous, yeah, yeah

Attempting to decipher your true intentions

Realize that you have the power to make a move if you choose to do so
You're talking like you want me
You're giving me mixed signals about your level of interest
I get so nervous when I'm with you
My nerves get the best of me when I'm around you
