What A Time
Julia Michaels [feat. Niall Horan] Lyrics

I feel a little nauseous and my hands are shaking
I am experiencing physical symptoms that indicate your presence nearby.

I guess that means you're close by
My physical symptoms have led me to believe that you are nearby.

My throat is getting dry and my heart is racing
My heightened senses and emotions are making me feel anxious.

I haven't been by your side
I haven’t been in your proximity for some time.

In a minute, but I think about it sometimes
Though it has been a while, thoughts of you still come to mind occasionally.

Even though I know it's not so distant
Despite the fact that our past experiences are not recent memories.

Oh, no, I still wanna reminisce it
I still think fondly of those past experiences shared with you.

I know we didn't end it like we're supposed to
I am aware that our relationship did not end according to the ideal.

And now we get a bit tense
In the present, interactions between us can be uncomfortable due to this history.

I wonder if my mind just leaves out all the bad parts
I contemplate whether my memory of our relationship is selective, and perhaps ignoring the unpleasant moments.

I know we didn't make sense
I am aware that our relationship may have not made logical sense to others.

I admit it that I think about it sometimes
I confess to still intermittently reflecting on past experiences shared between us.

For you and I
For the two of us, the shared relationship (and it's memories)

What a time, what a time, what a time
What a moment, what a moment, what a moment we spent together

You clinged to my body like you wanted it forever
While together, you embraced me as if you wanted our moment together to last forever.

What a lie, what a lie, what a lie
What a deception, what a deception, what a deception (referring to the relationship’s difficult conclusion)

For you and I (oh, what a lie)
For you and me, though it all felt like a pretense.
