Sex
Fletcher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll meet you downstairs at the subway station (ooh-ooh)
We don't gotta talk about us, how we messed it up
We could keep it light, just a conversation
No expectation
Just a one minute walk
And it's just two blocks
You're back in my arms
I just had sex with my ex in a New York apartment (ah)
Now I'm a mess, I'm obsessed
I'm right back where I started, broken-hearted
Every time you call me, I'll pick up again
Back into my feelings, back into your bed (oh-oh)
I just had sex with my ex in a New York apartment (ooh)
I thought it'd be harmless
Gotta catch my flight, but I want more time
Gimme one more night to be wrapped up in you (ooh-ooh)
And I know that I'm losing my mind
And it feels like I'm losing you twice
Is it worth the price?
What have I gotten into?
Just a one minute walk
And it's just two blocks
And three drinks later
You're back in my arms
I just had sex with my ex in a New York apartment (ah)
Now I'm a mess, I'm obsessed
I'm right back where I started, broken-hearted
Every time you call me, I'll pick up again
Back into my feelings, back into your bed (oh-oh)
I just had sex with my ex in a New York apartment (ooh-ooh)
I thought it'd be harmless
Hmm-hmm
I thought it'd be harmless
Hmm-hmm
So we kiss goodnight, and I catch that flight
Say goodbye forever, until next time
In Fletcher's song "Sex," the singer is addressing their ex-lover and proposing a meeting. They suggest a place to meet where they don't have to discuss their past relationship and can just have a conversation. Although the singer says they have no expectations, they end up having sex with their ex and become obsessed with them again. The events take place in a New York apartment, and the singer describes feeling broken-hearted and losing their mind. They want to spend more time with their ex but know that it may not be worth the price. The song ends with the singer saying goodbye once again, but it's unclear if this is forever or not.
One possible interpretation of the song is that the singer is struggling to let go of their past relationship and still has strong feelings for their ex. They may be looking for closure or hoping to reignite their relationship through physical intimacy. However, the aftermath of their encounter leaves them feeling worse than before and questioning if it was worth it. There is a sense of self-destructiveness and vulnerability in the lyrics, as the singer is willing to risk their emotional well-being for a fleeting moment of connection.
Fletcher has stated that the song is based on her own experiences with an ex-partner who she had a complicated relationship with. She says that the lyrics reflect her desire to be with him despite knowing it wasn't a healthy choice. The song has resonated with many listeners and has been praised for its honesty and vulnerability.
