Hope
H.t.a. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know what you're doing when you're giving me a rush
I know I'm only chasing in lust
Feeling too high, I
And I'm face down, laid out, taking too much
Sure, I been a little too blunt
When I tell you it's mine (that's mine)
That you on cloud nine
Now you dreamin' 'bout me while you sleeping
When you wake up I'm the reason
Eager for me like the weekend
Whatchu want, whatchu been needing?

Pick me up, I'm on the coast
I'll leave tonight so let me know
Rides with you are sensual
Don't get your hopes up, don't
Don't get your hopes up, don't
Don't get your hopes up, don't
Don't get your hopes up, don't
Get your hopes up

All in your feelings so I need to get back
It was so good I know you gon' ask me to change my flight
But it wouldn't be right
I ain't meant to lead you on, you know we both
Want the real thing, no demo
The same for life, life

Now you dreamin' 'bout me while you sleeping
When you wake up I'm the reason
Eager for me like the weekend
Whatchu want, whatchu been needing?

Pick me up, I'm on the coast
I'll leave tonight so let me know
Rides with you are sensual
Don't get your hopes up, don't
Don't get your hopes up, don't
Don't get your hopes up, don't
Don't get your hopes up, don't
Get your hopes up

Get your hopes up, don't
Don't get your hopes up
Pick me up, I'm on the coast
I leave tonight so let me know




Rides with you are sensual
Don't get your hopes up, don't

The chorus of the song emphasizes the temporary nature of their interaction, with the singer cautioning the other person not to get their hopes up or read too much into their connection.
