B.I.D.
JoJo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh
Ooh

I see how you're feelin' and I need you to know
That you can trust me to help you let go
I'm making it easy
Seems like most people I know hold everything in
Just because they don't wanna be judged
They'd rather be left untouched

Maybe we can sit down, get to know each other
If you wanna be around
I'm really good at bringin' it down
Bringin' it down, bringin' it down (ooh)
Maybe we can sit down, get to know each other
If you wanna be around
I'm really good at bringin' it down
Bringin' it down, bringin' it down

So you can breathe next to me
Breathe next to me (mm)

I don't have expectations, do you?
If you wanna burst into tears, you can
I'm not gonna get in the way
You're the only one who can make it bad
I'll always be here when you shed your skin
Become a new man
Take my hand, they don't always understand
That we, we're all in this together
And these changes gonna happen forever

Maybe we can sit down, get to know each other
If you wanna be around
I'm really good at bringin' it down
Bringin' it down (oh), bringin' it down
Maybe we can sit down (oh), get to know each other
If you wanna be around (oh yeah)
I'm really good at bringin' it down
Bringin' it down (oh), bringin' it down

So you can breathe next to me (oh)
Breathe next to me (mm)

Oh, boy, you can breathe next to me
You don't have to feel like you're less than perfect
Breathe next to me
You should never feel like you're less than who you are
Oh




Oh, no, no
Now you can breathe, baby
