Pick It up
Jeremy Zucker Lyrics

Why'd you you let your hair down?
Are you feeling vulnerable and open to me, or are you just trying to stay warm?

Is it cold outside girl?
Could your choice to let your hair down be related to the weather outside?

I feel it in the air now
There's something palpable between us - an energy, a tension.

There's something between us
There's a connection between us that's hard to ignore.

And...
The artist is pausing, waiting for a response or a confirmation from the listener.

I got some things that I'll try to say
There are things the singer wants to express, but they may not come out perfectly or easily.

You got these games always tryna play
The listener is not always straightforward and can be manipulative, playing games with the singer.

No need to worry
Don't worry about the outcome - it'll work out somehow.

We will find a way
Despite the challenges and difficulties, we'll come up with a solution together.

You know... well I know-ow
Both the artist and listener are aware of the situation and the feelings present.

And I've got acquainted with my mistakes
The singer has come to terms with their own mistakes and wants to move forward in a positive way.

You got some friends who should go-o away
The listener's friends may be a negative influence and should be removed from the situation.

But I got like no where to go today
The singer has no other plans or obligations and is willing to stay to work things out.

At all...
The singer is emphasizing that they really have no other options or plans.

So let's just pick it up where we left it off
Let's continue where we left off as if nothing happened or got in the way.

Hit me up after work if you ever get off
The artist is offering to be available for the listener after work, whenever they're free.

I could pick you up no extra cost
The artist can come get the listener without any inconvenience or fee.

Hey, I'm Daniel James (wow, yeah)
The singer is introducing themselves - likely introducing a new perspective or persona.

Let's take it back to the beach with our hands in the sand (I just woke up)
Let's go back to a simpler, carefree time, maybe before any complications arose.

We ain't even got a plan, damn
Let's just wing it and see what happens, without needing a solid plan.

Let's chill for a minute
Let's slow down and relax for a brief moment.

Rock the mic anytime I get it
I'll make the most of any opportunity or moment that comes my way.

Wanna rock my fitted? (aight)
Do you want to wear my hat as an indicator of our connection or shared experience?

Guess not, you probably get that a lot
The listener is declining, possibly because they have been given this offer before or don't see it as important.

So I let you go, even though
The singer chooses to let go of the past, even if they don't want to or it's hard.

If I came back it'd be really dope
If the singer and listener can find a way to reconnect, it would be great.

But take it really slow, she like really doe? (nah not really)
The singer is checking to see if the listener is really on board with taking it slow - but the listener responds negatively.

Girl that's a joke, you really trying to tell me you're going back alone?
The artist is incredulous that the listener would rather be alone than try to reconnect.

Don't call my phone don't ask me questions you don't wanna know, like (I'm tired of that shit)
The artist is fed up with the listener's indecision or mixed signals, and wants them to stop contacting them about it.

You really wanna talk about that shit that I did? (nah)
The singer doesn't want to discuss any grievances or issues from the past - they would rather move on.

I'm packing my bags and I'm tripping, I'm tripping like I'm on an island
The singer is ready to leave and go on their own journey, possibly a metaphorical one.

And you know I'm okay with that
The artist is comfortable with leaving and continuing without the listener.

So one more night let's take it back
Before the artist leaves, they want to have one more enjoyable moment with the listener, going back to a good time together.

Girl what do ya say?
The artist is asking for the listener's input, hoping they will agree to their request.

If you're letting me down, than I can throw it away
If the listener doesn't want to be romantically involved, the singer can give up their hope and move on.

Time and time again you'd rather be my friend
The listener seems to frequently reject any romantic or deeper connection, opting instead for a platonic friendship.

No hope for holding on because I know how it ends, yeah
The singer has given up hope and knows that the outcome won't change, leading to an end in their relationship.

Let's just pick it up where we left it off
Despite the difficulties and mixed signals, the singer wants to just continue where they last were.

Hit me after work if you ever get off
The singer is willing to be available for the listener, whenever they're available.

I could pick you up no extra cost
The artist is willing to put in the effort to come get the listener, even if it's inconvenient or requires extra effort.

Let's just pick it up where we left it off
The artist repeats their request, emphasizing that they just want to go back to where things were before.

Yeah one more night let's take it back
The singer wants to have one more enjoyable moment before potentially ending their relationship.
