But I don’t think we make out tonight.
But we could check it out sometime,
Shaking it up, just fine.
You’ve got your heart lost in your pocket, you crazy little puppet,
Don’t act like you don’t want it, ‘cause now you really got it.
Your heart lost in your pocket, you crazy little puppet,
Come take it easy, I want you to know
It doesn’t matter as long as we roll.
Come, take it easy, take it real slow
Pretend you’re in it, but just for the show.
Why don’t we break up? No.
But I don’t think we break up tonight.
We could check it up sometime,
But shaking it up is just fine.
Come take it easy, I want you to know
It doesn’t matter as long as we roll.
Come, take it easy, take it real slow
Pretend you’re in it, but just for the show.
You give me reasons that I didn’t know
It doesn’t matter as long as we roll.
Come, take it easy, take it real slow
Pretend you’re in it, but just for the show.
Come take it easy, I want you to know
It doesn’t matter as long as we roll.
Come, take it easy, take it real slow
Pretend you’re in it, but just for the show.
You give me reasons that I didn’t know
It doesn’t matter as long as we roll.
Come, take it easy, take it real slow
Pretend you’re in it, but just for the show.
The song "In It For The Show" by Kilians is a playful and flirtatious invitation for intimacy, with a touch of caution and skepticism. The lyrics suggest that the two people involved in the interaction are not entirely sure if they want to pursue each other romantically, but they are willing to explore the possibility. The first stanza presents a proposition to make out, but the singer seems hesitant that it may not happen that night. The second stanza dismisses the idea of breaking up, indicating there is already an existing relationship but there is still a distanced sort of agreement between them. The chorus of the song emphasizes the sentiment that they don't need to take it too seriously, that they can pretend to be in it just for the show.
The song's lighthearted and playful tone is further emphasized by the repeated phrase "come take it easy," which is an invitation to relax and let loose. The verses suggest that the object of the singer's affection has a "heart lost in your pocket," which implies a certain level of vulnerability and insecurity. The chorus seems to be the singer's attempt to reassure the other person that they don't need to take things too seriously, they can just pretend to be in it for the fun of it all.
Overall, "In It For The Show" is a catchy and upbeat song that captures the playful and flirtatious side of romantic interactions. However, it also contains a certain level of hesitation and skepticism, indicating that the two people involved may not be entirely sure of their feelings or intentions towards each other.
