Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was finna write a song about how I been hella stressed
But I looked in your eyes and noticed I'm hella blessed
And staring at you on this airplane
I ain't worried by nahthing
Cause you got me feeling like Dwayne Wade in 03
Yeah you and me we got the heat
So bump all that anxiety
With you here to the side of me

I feel like I'm gliding
And honestly

I don't want you saying that you had a better chance without me
That you wish you had made plans without me
Look I hate to make this song about me
But I really wanna tell you that

I still get goosebumps whenever you call
When I pull up to your house in my car
When we kiss you make me sound the alarm
When we kiss that thing go ring ring

Tell me how you feel
Tell me what it is
Tell me what it ain't
I'm trigger happy
You lookin bomb
I might just detonate
Tell them dudes they can fall back
Keenan and Kel I need all that
Let em call but don't call back
Let em call but don't oooh

I don't want you saying that you had a better chance without me
That you wish you had made plans without me
Look I hate to make this song about me
But I really wanna tell you that

I still get goosebumps whenever you call
When I pull up to your house in my car
When we kiss you make me sound the alarm
When we kiss that thing go ring ring

I still get goosebumps whenever you call
When I pull up to your house in my car
When we kiss you make me sound the alarm
When we kiss that thing go ring ring ring

I still get goosebumps whenever you call
When I pull up to your house in my car

When we kiss you make me sound the alarm
When we kiss that thing go ring ring ring
