NOTHING TO LOSE
Emblem 3 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You should roll with me,
Whatcha got to lose?

I can make your teenage dream come true.
And all I wanna know is if you're feeling me or not.

'cause I'm looking at the clock, it goes tick-tick-tock.
I wanna make you my lady, I aint tryna' hear no call me maybe

I aint never seen, a girl so sweet.
I could be your surf board, you could be my beach.

You spend all night lookin' down at your phone,
Girl, you need to get over it, you need to get over it.
Just one kiss then we both go with the flow,
I'ma help you get over it, help you get over it, yeah

You don't gotta wait no longer, you don't gotta be so shy.
I just wanna pull you closer, I just wanna cross that line.
So baby come on, 'cause the night is almost over,
So let's have the time of our lives like we got nothing to lose.

You know what I'm sayin, I hope you feel the same.
(like we got nothing to lose)
You know what I'm sayin, I hope you feel the same, yeah.
(like we got nothing to lose)

I can tell by the way that you're rollin you're eyes
You get a lot of attention, probably fed up by guys.
And I can try to convince you I'm different,
But you look so good, it's hard to put together a sentence, get it?
So if you could just imagine, what's goin' through my head.
And all the fun we havin.
If you give me a chance, I can promise you this
You wont be singing break up songs, like that taylor chick.

You spend all night lookin' down at your phone,
Girl, you need to get over it, you need to get over it.
Just one kiss then we both go with the flow,
I'ma help you get over it, help you get over it, yeah.

You don't gotta wait no longer, you don't gotta be so shy.
I just wanna pull you closer, I just wanna cross that line.
So baby come on, cause the night is almost over,
So lets have the time of our lives like we got nothing to lose.

You know what I'm sayin, I hope you feel the same.
(like we got nothing to lose)
You know what I'm sayin, I hope you feel the same.
(like we got nothing to lose)

I mean considering the fact that
We're at a high school party right now,
And I'm not in high school and neither are you so,
I mean we could just, um, go back to, to my house

You don't gotta wait no longer, you don't gotta be so shy.
I just wanna pull you closer, I just wanna cross that line.
So baby come on, 'cause the night is almost over,
So lets have the time of our lives like we got nothing to lose.

You know what I'm sayin, I hope you feel the same.
(like we got nothing to lose)
You know what I'm sayin, I hope you feel the same.
(like we got nothing to lose)
You know what I'm sayin, I hope you feel the same.
(like we got nothing to lose)

You know what I'm saying, I hope you feel the same.
Like we got nothing to lose

Overall Meaning

In this song, Emblem 3 is the singer requesting the attention of a girl at a high school party. He makes it clear that he is not like the other guys who bombard her with attention, and he can make her dream of being with someone special come true. He is sincere in his affections for her and is hoping that she has been feeling the same way about him. As he looks at the clock ticking away, he hopes that he can convince her to be with him before the night is over. He reassures her that he can make her happy if she gives him a chance, and there will be no need for heartbreak songs like Taylor Swift's.

The lyrics could be seen as Emblem 3 trying to differentiate himself and his love from the insincerity of other guys who hit on the girl just for fun. He doesn't want to hear Call Me Maybe, a song that could be interpreted as the girl fixing societal norms and calling the guy first, but wants her to respond genuinely to his feelings. By saying, "You could be my beach, I could be your surfboard," he's showing that he wants to work together and isn't interested in only himself. Compared to other partygoers, he also tries talking to her, showing that he really cares, whereas the majority spend the night looking down and texting on their phones.

The song's upbeat melody, playful lyrics, and youthful energy made it a hit among Emblem 3's fan base. The band members have later stated that the song is based on their early life experiences and that they have been performing it since they were teenagers. There is also an alternative version of the song featuring rapper Hoodie Allen.
