Hi Lo
IAMDYNAMITE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You take me Low
You take me anywhere you go
You are the one I can tell
You are the one I can tell
You take us High
You take us Low
You take us anywhere you go
You are the one I can tell
Oh Oh I never understand
I get the feeling I can do it again
And so I ay-ay-ay-aim
Over the mountains
Baby don't be late
Time is hard and not when you want it
I wait for the minutes
To burn
Take my hand and don't get excited but
All my friends are telling me baby you're the one so
Take me High
You take me low
You take me anywhere you go
You are the one I can tell
You are the one I can tell
You take us High
You take us low
You take us anywhere you go
You are the one I can tell
You are the one I can tell
Woah-Oh I never understand
I get the feeling I can do it again
And so I ay-ay-ay-aim
Over the mountain baby don't be late
Time is hard and not when you want it
I wait for the minutes
To burn
Take my hand and don't get excited but
All my friends are telling me baby you're the one so
Take me High
You take me Low
You take me anywhere you go
You are the one I can tell
You are the one I can tell
You take us High
You take us Low
You take us anywhere you go
You are the one I can tell
You are the one I can tell
Time is hard and not when you want it
I wait for the hours
To burn
Take my hand and don't get excited but
All my friends are telling my baby you're the one so
Take me High
You take me Low
You take me anywhere you go
You are the one I can tell
You are the one I can tell
You take us High
You take us Low
You take us anywhere you go
You are the one I can tell
You are the one I can tell

Oh Oh I never understand
I'm feeling confused and unsure of my emotions
I get the feeling I can do it again
I feel like I have the ability to experience those emotions all over again
And so I ay-ay-ay-aim
I try to aim for those feelings again
Over the mountains
I'm willing to go to great lengths to experience those feelings
Baby don't be late
I don't want to miss out on those moments with you
Time is hard and not when you want it
Time is unpredictable and often not on our side
I wait for the minutes
I spend my time waiting for things to happen
To burn
For time to pass by quickly
Take my hand and don't get excited but
Let's take things slow and steady
All my friends are telling me baby you're the one so
My friends believe that you're the perfect match for me
Woah-Oh I never understand
I'm still unsure and confused about my feelings
I get the feeling I can do it again
I feel like I can experience those emotions all over again
Over the mountain baby don't be late
Don't miss out on those moments with me
Time is hard and not when you want it
Time is unpredictable and doesn't always align with our desires
I wait for the hours
I spend my time waiting for something
Uno!
One!
Dos!
Two!
Tres!
Three!

I'm 25 now, but I remember early in high school i was a bit of a loner but I would go to the record store and listen to new music in the pre programmed selected albums. I would skim through them all and literally would write down the songs I liked. This was one of them songs. Nostalgia for sure
