Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got me sittin' by my phone, I've been waitin' for hours
On my line, sendin' mirror pics of you fresh out the shower
So I might as well swing over to your place
Mm-mm, na
It's crowded
In L.A. but I'll be there at eight, if the traffic allows it
Say you're down, I could show you around, if you're really about it, yeah
What do you say? Uh
Should we bring it right back?
Honestly, it's better like that
I know we been fallin' off-track
Bring it right back
Let's just let the time roll past
We don't gotta take it too fast
Bring it right back
You don't gotta stay the night
I just wanna take the time
I know all the things you like
Maybe if the mood is right
We could bring it right back
Say
Got the weed, we could sit by the beach if you wanna get faded
But if that's not the vibe, yeah it's cool, we could save it for later, yeah, yeah
I just like the way it feels when you're around
When you're around, na-na
Now, I know we're not dating, na-na
Maybe soon, by the way things go, we been talking for ages
Take it step-by-step, slow it down, we just need to be patient, oh
If the love feels good and it's real, it'll all work out
It all work out, yeah
Should we bring it right back? (Back)
Honestly, it's better like that
I know we been fallin' off-track (na)
Bring it right back
Let's just let the time roll past
We don't gotta take it too fast
Bring it right back
You don't gotta stay the night
I just wanna take the time
I know all the things you like
Maybe if the mood is right
We could bring it right back
So bring it, so bring it
So bring it, so bring it (bring it back to me, yeah)
So bring it, so bring it (na)
So bring it, so bring it (bring it back to me)
So bring it, so bring it
So bring it, so bring it back
Na-na, no
Should we bring it right back?
Honestly, it's better like that
I know we been fallin' off-track
Bring it right back
I just let the time roll past
We don't gotta take it too fast
Bring it right back
You don't gotta stay the night
I just wanna take the time
I know all the things you like
Maybe if the mood is right
We could bring it right back
Honestly, it's better like that
I know we been fallin' off-track
Bring it right back
I just let the time roll past
We don't gotta take it too fast
Bring it right back
You don't gotta stay the night
I just wanna take the time
I know all the things you like
Maybe if the mood is right
We could bring it right
