Smooth
Forever in Your Mind Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I met my match in a pretty face
Feels like you're playing my part
Can't figure out if I like the chase
Can't figure out who you are

And all the mirrors always make me think about you
'Cause I'm not used to losing at my own games
And all the mirrors show you're face when I'm without you
It all starts to look the same

Taking my mind outta limbo
Throwing my pride out the window
Why do you keep on breaking rules?

I'm not the only one to make a move

Let me fall out of the window
Crossing another line like you didn't know
Why do you keep on breaking rules?

Guess I'm not the only one who's smooth
I guess I'm not the only one who's smooth
I guess I'm not the only one who's smooth

I met my match in a pretty face
Still wondering if you're real
I can't figure out if it's love or hate
I can't figure out how I feel

And all the mirrors always make me think about you (think about you)
It all starts to look the same (this way)

Taking my mind outta limbo
Throwing my pride out the window
Why do you keep on breaking rules?

I'm not the only one to make a move

Let me fall out of the window
Crossing another line like you didn't know
Why do you keep on breaking rules?

Guess I'm not the only one who's smooth
I guess I'm not the only one who's smooth
I guess I'm not the only one who's smooth

As I play it all back in my mind
I start to wonder if you're here
Here this whole time

As I play it all back in my mind
As I play it all back

Taking my mind outta limbo
Throwing my pride out the window
Why do you keep on breaking rules?

I'm not the only one to make a move

Let me fall out of the window
Crossing another line like you didn't know
Why do you keep on breaking rules?

Guess I'm not the only one who's smooth
I guess I'm not the only one who's smooth
I guess I'm not the only one who's smooth
I guess I'm not the only one who's smooth

Oh baby




Guess I'm not the only one who's smooth
Yeah

Line by Line Meaning

I met my match in a pretty face
I found someone who challenges me


Feels like you're playing my part
It feels like we switched roles


Can't figure out if I like the chase
I'm not sure if I enjoy the chase or the catch


Can't figure out who you are
I still don't know who you truly are


And all the mirrors always make me think about you
Every reflection reminds me of you


'Cause I'm not used to losing at my own games
I don't like losing because I'm not used to it


And all the mirrors show you're face when I'm without you
I see your face in every reflection when you're not around


It all starts to look the same
Nothing seems different anymore


Taking my mind outta limbo
Clearing my mind from confusion


Throwing my pride out the window
Putting my ego aside


Why do you keep on breaking rules?
Why do you keep doing things that you shouldn't?


I'm not the only one to make a move
I'm not the only one taking risks


Let me fall out of the window
Let me make a mistake


Crossing another line like you didn't know
Breaking boundaries without thinking


Guess I'm not the only one who's smooth
Looks like we both have a way with words


Still wondering if you're real
I still can't believe how amazing you are


I can't figure out if it's love or hate
I don't know if what I feel is love or hate


Taking my mind outta limbo
Clearing my mind from confusion


As I play it all back in my mind
As I replay our interactions in my head


I start to wonder if you're here
I start to wonder if you're truly present


Why do you keep on breaking rules?
Why do you keep doing things that you shouldn't?


Oh baby
Oh my love


Guess I'm not the only one who's smooth
Looks like we both have a way with words

FOREVER IN YOUR MIND - Smooth

I met my match in a pretty face
Feels like you're playing my part
Can't think I fall if I like the chase
Can't figure out who you are

And all the mirrors always make me think about you
Cause I'm not used to losing at my own games
And all the mirrors show your face when I'm without you
It all starts to look the same (this way) this way

Taking my mind out of limbo
Throwing my pride out the window
Why do you keep on breaking rules?
I'm not the only one to make a move
Let me throw it out of the window
Crossed another line like you didn't know
Why do you keep on breaking rules?
I guess I'm not the only one who's smooth

I guess I'm not the only one who's smooth

I guess I'm not the only one who's smooth

I met my match in a pretty face
Still wondering if you're real
Can't figure out if it's love or hate
Can't figure out how I feel

And all the mirrors always make me think about you
It all starts to look the same (this way) this way

Taking my mind out of limbo
Throwing my pride out the window
Why do you keep on breaking rules?
I'm not the only one to make a move
Let me throw it out of the window
Crossed another line like you didn't know
Why do you keep on breaking rules?
I guess I'm not the only one who's smooth

I guess I'm not the only one who's smooth

I guess I'm not the only one who's smooth

And as I play it all back in my mind
I start to wonder if you're here
Here this whole time
And as I play it all back in my mind
As I play it all back

Taking my mind out of limbo
Throwing my pride out the window
Why do you keep on breaking rules?
I'm not the only one to make a move
Let me throw it out of the window
Crossed another line like you didn't know
Why do you keep on breaking rules?
I guess I'm not the only one who's smooth

I guess I'm not the only one who's smooth

I guess I'm not the only one who's smooth

Oh baby
I guess I'm not the only one who's smooth
Yeah
