And that's based off our first impression
I'm gonna hide this affection
But I'm going in the right direction
Floating through different dimensions
The ladders and stairs haven't changed
Honey, I forgot to mention
I'm so entranced by you, it hurts
I'm in love with the moment
To me fallin', to me goin'
I'm in love with the moment
To me fallin', to me goin'
Can't let me go if I'm fallin'
I've been on the path of importance
Nothing left, pull you in slowly
The river is running, we're flowing
I'm coming down, you've been rollin'
And we'll light a flame, now we're open
Pour me a, pour me a potion
I'm rocking, I'm rocking the motions
I'm in love with the moment
To me fallin', to me goin'
I'm in love with the moment
To me fallin', to me goin'
Nothing feels better than this
Now, left, right, left, right
Take you back, lean you side to side
Like that, like that, ayy
Ooh, now, left, right, left, right
Take you back, lean you side to side
Like
Nothing feels better than this
Now, left, right, left, right
Take you back, lean you side to side
Like that, like that, ayy
Ooh, now, left, right, left, right
Take you back, lean you side to side
Like
Nothing feels better than this
That made me feel like I'm just speeding, doing 60 in a 35
We're sitting in a car and just holding hands

Line by Line Meaning
You'd rather speak more than listen
You have a tendency to talk more and listen less
And that's based off our first impression
This is something that I noticed about you initially
I'm gonna hide this affection
I plan to conceal my feelings for you
But I'm going in the right direction
Despite hiding my affection, I know that I am still moving forward in a positive manner
Floating through different dimensions
I feel like my mind is wandering through various thoughts and emotions
The ladders and stairs haven't changed
Despite my wandering mind, the structure of life remains the same
Honey, I forgot to mention
By the way, I neglected to say earlier
I'm so entranced by you, it hurts
I am completely captivated by you to the point where it is painful
Can't let me go if I'm fallin'
If I start to fall for you, don't let me slip away
I've been on the path of importance
I have been focused on taking steps towards achieving my goals
Nothing left, pull you in slowly
There is nothing else holding me back, so I am drawing you closer to me gradually
The river is running, we're flowing
Like the flow of a river, we are moving forward together
I'm coming down, you've been rollin'
I am calming down while you are still on a high
And we'll light a flame, now we're open
Together, we will ignite a passion that lays hidden within us
Pour me a, pour me a potion
Give me a metaphorical drink that will help me enjoy the moment more
I'm rocking, I'm rocking the motions
I am embracing the rhythm and flow of this moment
Nothing feels better than this
There is no greater feeling than what we are experiencing right now
Now, left, right, left, right
We are swaying back and forth in unison
Take you back, lean you side to side
I am leading you in a dance where we move together
Like that, like that, ayy
Just like this, in this way
We're sitting in a car and just holding hands
We are enjoying this moment of intimacy while sitting in a car together

You'd rather speak more than listen
And that's based off our first impression
I'm new to all this affection
But I'm going in the right direction
Floating through different dimensions
But not losing sense of religion
Honey, I forgot to mention
I'm so entranced by you, it hurts
[Chorus]
I'm in love with the moment
See me floatin', see me glowin'
I'm in love with the moment
See me floatin', see me glowin'
[Verse 2]
Can't let me go if I'm fallin'
I've been on the path of importance
Let the love pull you in slowly
The river is running, we're flowing
I'm coming down, you've been rollin'
And we're letting free, now we're open
Pour me a, pour me a potion
I'm rocking, I'm rocking the motion
I'm in love with the moment
See me floatin', see me glowin'
I'm in love with the moment
See me floatin', see me glowin'
[Outro]

Take it back, bring it side to side

Nothing feels better than this
Now, left, right, left, right
Take it back, bring it side to side
Like that, like that, ayy
