IV
Josh and Derek Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought that we would spend more time this summer
A lots been on your mind
I don't wanna to ever assume or wonder
So I stay on the grind
What's up with me and you
Things feel strange
While the sun went down
Supposed to be and you
With loved exchanged
I'd even take dancing with you under the rain
I'm just checkin for the temperature
I feel like seasons changed
When we stare under the moon
Stuck like glue
Then you say that my heart
Is just for you
And the next thing you know
Change the rules
You're a habit for my soul
Can't shake loose
You miss me, I miss you
So come through
When I fall back, you come close
Let's stay true
I say stay, you say go
What's the use
Maybe I should let you know
I'm for you
Kissing in front of the candle light
Was one of my favorite past times
Don't tell me it was the last time
I wrote this song for you
Just to let you know I see you and I know all you've been through
What about the special night that I had you for dessert
That's a night I'd prefer
But now we barely even holding hands with each other
Can we stay warm like we were under the covers
When we stare under the moon
Stuck like glue
Then you say that my heart
Is just for you
And the next thing you know
Change the rules
You're a habit for my soul
Can't shake loose
You miss me, I miss you
So come through
When I fall back, you come close
Let's stay true
I say stay, you say go
What's the use
Maybe I should let you know
I'm for you
You were a special part of me
And honestly I don't wanna lose what we had I need to know
Does your heart still dance for me
Cuz when you dance with me
I wish the feeling could stay
When we stare under the moon
Stuck like glue
Then you say that my heart
Is just for you
And the next thing you know
Change the rules
You're a habit for my soul
Can't shake loose
You miss me, I miss you
So come through
When I fall back, you come close
Let's stay true
I say stay, you say go
What's the use




Maybe I should let you know
I'm for you

Overall Meaning

The song "IV" by Josh and Derek conveys the complex emotions of a relationship that is shifting and changing, leaving the singer feeling uncertain and confused. The lyrics suggest that the two parties involved were once close, even intimate, sharing moments like dancing in the rain or kissing by candlelight. However, something has changed, and the singer feels like they are no longer on the same page. The line "When we stare under the moon, stuck like glue, then you say that my heart is just for you, and the next thing you know, change the rules," highlights this inconsistency and unpredictability that the singer cannot seem to grasp. As much as the singer wants to feel certain about the relationship, they are unable to shake off the feeling that now things are different, that they're just a habit for the other person, and the essence of what they had is slipping away.


The lyric "Does your heart still dance for me, cuz when you dance with me, I wish the feeling could stay" suggests that the singer still feels a deep connection to the other person and wants things to go back to the way they were, but they remain unsure whether the other person feels the same way.


Overall, the song 'IV' is a melancholic track that captures the confusing emotions of a relationship that's in a state of flux.
