Cheyenne
Jason Derülo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I let go I know, I'll regret it
Every heart that I held before
I was sure to break it
I don't know what she did, but
I just can't stop thinking 'bout you every day
No, I can't stop now
Look what we started, baby
You're not what I expected
'Cause all I ever wanted was some fun
Look what we started, baby
Used to look for exits
'Cause all I ever wanted was some fun
I never meant to fall in love
I never meant to fall in lo-ove
I never meant to fall in love
I never meant to fall in lo-ove
Cheyenne, got the table set for two
Guess you couldn't make it
Thought I kissed your lips again
I was dreaming
I still believe that night we shared was something sacred
I'm trying to clear my head, but
I just can't stop thinking 'bout you every day
No, I can't stop now
Look what we started, baby
You're not what I expected
'Cause all I ever wanted was some fun
Look what we started, baby
Used to look for exits
'Cause all I ever wanted was some fun
I never meant to fall in love
I never meant to fall in lo-ove
I never meant to fall in love
I never meant to fall in lo-ove
Cheyenne, Cheyenne
Cheyenne, Cheyenne
No I can't stop thinking 'bout you every day
No, I can't stop now
Look what we started, baby
You're not what I expected
'Cause all I ever wanted was some fun
Look what we started, baby
Used to look for exits
'Cause all I ever wanted was some fun
I never meant to fall in love
I never meant to fall in lo-ove
I never meant to fall in love
I never meant to fall in lo-ove
Cheyenne, Cheyenne
Cheyenne
In "Cheyenne," Jason Derulo reflects on a complicated romantic relationship that he did not intend to develop as deeply as it has. He sings about his uncertainty and regrets about the situation, explaining that he historically had a track record of breaking hearts. The subject of his song, Cheyenne, seems to have unexpectedly captured his heart and he cannot help but think about her constantly. He recalls a night they spent together and emphasizes how special it was to him, even though it seems she has moved on. Derulo expresses his desire for a lighthearted relationship at first, but now he has found himself deeply in love with someone who he did not expect to impact him so strongly.
In the chorus, Derulo repeats that he "never meant to fall in love". This highlights his surprise at his current situation and how unexpected and unsure he is about this relationship. He is grappling with the realization that he has fallen in love with someone he did not plan on it with, making him wonder if he should have taken a more cautious approach. The song title "Cheyenne" is used frequently throughout the song - it is unclear if this is the actual person's name or a metaphor for something else.
Overall, "Cheyenne" is a heartfelt song that captures the reality of falling in love unexpectedly and the complications that come with it.
