Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I was a mind reader
I'd spend all my energy to figure you out
Decipher all of your feelings
Turn you inside out to see what you're all about

Tell me all your secrets
Promise that I'll keep 'em
I'll keep 'me yeah

I really wanna get to know you
Know you I
I really really wanna show you
Show you I
I'll be your ride or die
And keep you warm at night
I really really wanna be your medicine

(Keep you warm at night)
(Keep you warm at night)
(Keep you warm at night)
(Keep you warm at night)
(Keep you warm at night)
(Keep you warm at night)

I really really wanna be your medicine
I really wanna get to know you
Know you I
I really really wanna show you
Show you I

I'd spill out my heart for you
Show you all the parts I keep from everyone else
Got nothing to hide for you
Cuz you know me better than I know myself

Tell me all your secrets
Promise that I'll keep 'em
I'll keep 'em
I'll keep 'em
Tell me all your secrets
Promise that I'll keep them
I'll keep them yeah

I really wanna get to know you
Know you I
I really really wanna show you
Show you I
I'll be your ride or die
And keep you warm at night
I really really wanna be your medicine
