Down With You
Ellie Lawson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause the day is nearly done
And the time has surely come
Grab my arm and follow me
Wander through the crowded bar
Though I don't know who you are
Even if I shout out
I wanna give you my number
But I'm feeling too proud
Oohhh I just wanna get down with you
I just wanna get close to you
Ooooh I just need to confirm it's true
What I'd do to be alone with you
We've been dancing here all night
It's the way you catch my eye
Making me just wanna die
Never met no one like you
I don't know how you feel
But I'm sure this is real
Let me step out the light
While you find your keys
It's been the lovliest night
I don't want you to leave
Ohh no baby
Oh I just wanna get down with you
I just wanna get close to you
Oooh I just need to confirm it's true
What I'd do to be alone with you
We could sneak out a bottle and take a slow walk back to your house
We could head back to yours and make an early breakfast
Stay up all night long and chat about our childhood memories
We could hold each other drifting in and out Of sleep
Oh I just wanna get down with you
I just wanna get close to you
Oh I just need to confirm it's true
What I'd do to be alone with you

Won't you raise your glasses
Let's toast to the end of the day
'Cause the day is nearly done
The day is coming to an end
And the time has surely come
It's time to move on from the day
Grab my arm and follow me
Join me in leaving this place
Wander through the crowded bar
We'll make our way through the busy environment
Though I don't know who you are
Even though we're strangers to each other
Even if I shout out
Even if I try to speak over the loud music
The music's too loud
It's hard to talk over the loud music
I wanna give you my number
I want to share my contact information with you
But I'm feeling too proud
But I'm too afraid or embarrassed to do so
Oohhh I just wanna get down with you
I simply want to be closer with you
I just wanna get close to you
I desire to be in close proximity to you
Ooooh I just need to confirm it's true
I need to validate my feelings for you
What I'd do to be alone with you
I'd do anything to be with you in a private setting
We've been dancing here all night
We've been here for a while and dancing all along
It's the way you catch my eye
I'm attracted to the way you look at me
Making me just wanna die
It's overwhelming and exciting
Never met no one like you
I've never encountered someone like you before
I don't know how you feel
I don't know what you're thinking or feeling
But I'm sure this is real
But I know that I'm feeling something real
Let me step out the light
Let me take a step back to allow you to find your keys
While you find your keys
In the meantime, you can look for your keys
It's been the loveliest night
It's been a wonderful night
I don't want you to leave
I wish you could stay a little bit longer
Ohh no baby
Oh no, don't go yet
We could sneak out a bottle and take a slow walk back to your house
We could casually leave together and take a leisurely walk to your place with a bottle
We could head back to yours and make an early breakfast
We could continue hanging out at your home and make breakfast together
Stay up all night long and chat about our childhood memories
We could stay up late and reminisce about our childhood experiences
We could hold each other drifting in and out Of sleep
We could cuddle and fall asleep together, only to wake up intermittently
