Drake/PartyNextDoor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pool in my eyes, as you beg I testify that
I hate being alone, but you finally got me out my zone
I know and I miss you
Know when I'm tripping, oh, yes it's difficult
Thank God I'm Christian
Remember how this all begun, just us
You proved her right, every single night
Oh my, oh my, can't close my eyes
Can't open my eyes, don't know what to do
I'm in some kind of mood
You're so beautiful, you're so beautiful
We gotta listen to the old Kelly
You slipped out if you don't know already
Girl, I know you know already
Girl, I know you know already
Things are getting hot and heavy
Things are getting hot and heavy
Girl, I know you know already
Girl, I know you
Girl, I know you
Girl, I know you know already
What haven't we done before
What is not already mine?
Couldn't tell you what's not yours
You said that you think about me every day
Saturday to Saturday
You see that I've been going through it
Hoping everything's okay
I just want to let you know
Everything these days is textual
I just want to get a little sexual, with you
'Cause I remember way, way, back
With the waves under the wavecap
You were someone else's wife in fact
You didn't even look at me like that
Then it all just switched, over time
Step by step and you know what's next girl
I can't pretend
We gon' have to listen to some old Kelly
You slipped out if you don't know already
Girl, I know you know already
Girl, I know you know already
Things are getting hot and heavy
Things are getting hot and heavy
Girl, I know you know already
Girl, I know you know how it's gon' go down
I know you babe
Girl, I know you know already
What haven't we done before
What is not already mine?
Couldn't tell you what's not yours
Yeah, you know already
Six months since I've been back in the Six
I can't help but wonder how you've been babe
What are you on?
Gotta let me know something
What are you on?
Gotta let me know something
What are you on?
Gotta let me know something
Wonder how you've been
I've been out in Bel-Air like Will was
These streets got so familiar
Malibu coast where I meditate
Book a plane home then I hesitate
Scared to see what I left behind
It's weighing heavy on my mind and
I can't help but wonder how you've been babe
What are you on?
Gotta let me know something
What are you on?
Gotta let me know something
What are you on?
Gotta let me know something
Wonder how you've been, babe
The lyrics of "Since Way Back" by Drake and PartyNextDoor delve into the complexities of a relationship and the longing for connection. The song starts with Drake expressing his vulnerability and discomfort with being alone, suggesting that the person he is addressing has managed to pull him out of his comfort zone. Despite some difficulties and misunderstandings, he still misses and thinks about this person.
Drake reminisces about the beginning of their relationship, when it was just the two of them against the world. He mentions his mother warning him about this person, hinting at a potentially toxic or problematic relationship. However, he acknowledges that this person proved his mother right every night. The lyrics convey a sense of conflict and confusion, as Drake expresses his struggle to close or open his eyes, signifying his uncertainty and indecisiveness.
The lyrics also touch upon the physical and emotional attraction he feels towards this person, emphasizing their beauty and the intensity of their connection. He mentions listening to music by R&B singer R. Kelly, which could imply that they shared these songs together and it evokes memories of their past. The phrase "you slipped out if you don't know already" suggests that this person has moved on or ended their involvement, leaving Drake grappling with the realization.
The chorus reinforces Drake's understanding that this person is already aware of the feelings and emotions between them. He acknowledges that things are getting intense and implies that they have reached a point of no return. The repetition of "girl, I know you know already" suggests a mutual understanding and awareness of the dynamics between them.
As the song progresses, Drake reflects on the history of their relationship, indicating that they have already explored and experienced a lot together. However, he questions what remains for them to discover or possess. This reflects a sense of dissatisfaction with the current state of their relationship, as Drake questions their potential for growth and novelty.
Drake also highlights the impact of distance and time apart on their connection, mentioning his six-month absence from the city. He wonders how the other person has been and reveals his curiosity about their well-being. This longing is portrayed through the repetition of the question "What are you on? Gotta let me know something," suggesting a desire for communication and understanding.
In summary, "Since Way Back" explores the intricacies of a relationship, showcasing the confusion, longing, and nostalgia that accompany connections that have evolved and changed over time. Drake's lyrics reveal his vulnerabilities, his desire for physical and emotional intimacy, and his curiosity about the other person's feelings and experiences. Ultimately, the song portrays a complicated relationship filled with uncertainty and a yearning for connection.

Pool in my eyes, as you beg I testify that
I have tears in my eyes as you plead, and I confirm that
I hate being alone, but you finally got me out my zone
I dislike being by myself, but you managed to bring me out of my comfort zone
I know and I miss you
I am aware and I long for your presence
Know when I'm tripping, oh, yes it's difficult
You are aware when I am overthinking, oh, yes it's challenging
Thank God I'm Christian
I am grateful that I have faith in God
Remember how this all begun, just us
Recall how this all started, just the two of us
My mama said you was bad news, like 'dun-dun-dun-dun'
My mother warned me that you were trouble, like a dramatic sound effect
You proved her right, every single night
You confirmed her suspicions, every night without exception
Oh my, oh my, can't close my eyes
Oh my, oh my, I can't sleep
Can't open my eyes, don't know what to do
I am unable to open my eyes, unsure of what to do
I'm in some kind of mood
I am in a particular emotional state
You're so beautiful, you're so beautiful
You are incredibly beautiful, very attractive
We gotta listen to the old Kelly
We have to listen to the music of R. Kelly from the past
You slipped out if you don't know already
You left quietly if you aren't already aware
Girl, I know you know already
Girl, I know you are already aware
Things are getting hot and heavy
The situation is becoming intense and passionate
What haven't we done before
What have we not experienced before
What is not already mine?
What do I not already possess?
Couldn't tell you what's not yours
I couldn't inform you about what doesn't belong to you
You said that you think about me every day
You mentioned that you think of me on a daily basis
Saturday to Saturday
From one Saturday to the next
You see that I've been going through it
You can see that I have been struggling
Hoping everything's okay
Wishing that everything is alright
I just want to let you know
I simply want to inform you
Everything these days is textual
Communication these days is mainly through text messages
I just want to get a little sexual, with you
I just want to become more intimate, specifically with you
'Cause I remember way, way, back
Because I recall a time long ago
With the waves under the wavecap
With the hair waves tightly covered
You were someone else's wife in fact
You were actually married to someone else
You didn't even look at me like that
You didn't even show interest in me at that time
Then it all just switched, over time
Then everything suddenly changed, gradually
Step by step and you know what's next girl
Gradually, you understand what comes next, girl
I can't pretend
I can't fake it
We gon' have to listen to some old Kelly
We are going to have to listen to some old R. Kelly songs
Girl, I know you know already
Girl, I know you are already aware
Girl, I know you know already
Girl, I know you are already aware
Things are getting hot and heavy
The situation is becoming intense and passionate
Girl, I know you know already
Girl, I know you are already aware
Girl, I know you know how it's gon' go down
Girl, I know you know how it's going to happen
I know you babe
I know you, my dear
What haven't we done before
What have we not experienced before
What is not already mine?
What do I not already possess?
Couldn't tell you what's not yours
I couldn't inform you about what doesn't belong to you
Yeah, you know already
Yes, you are already aware
Six months since I've been back in the Six
It has been six months since I returned to Toronto
I can't help but wonder how you've been babe
I cannot stop myself from thinking about how you have been, babe
What are you on?
What have you been up to?
Gotta let me know something
You have to inform me about something
Wonder how you've been
Curious about your well-being
I've been out in Bel-Air like Will was
I have been spending time in Bel-Air like Will Smith did
These streets got so familiar
These streets have become so familiar to me
Malibu coast where I meditate
The coast of Malibu is where I find my inner peace through meditation
Book a plane home then I hesitate
I book a plane ticket to go back home, but then I hesitate
Scared to see what I left behind
Afraid to witness what I abandoned
It's weighing heavy on my mind and
It is burdening my thoughts and
I can't help but wonder how you've been babe
I cannot stop myself from thinking about how you have been, babe
What are you on?
What have you been up to?
Gotta let me know something
You have to inform me about something
Wonder how you've been
Curious about your well-being

Can't open my eyes, don't know what to do

Late night feeling tired worked myself out tireless I come back home to listen to this masterpiece peace automatically comes like waves at the beach while Drake soothingly sings into my ears all I can think about is what would I do without music...
