Adrenaline
Lauv Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remembering what you said
Now I'm laying alone in bed
Trying to wrap up this feeling
Falling apart instead

Cause baby we hit the top
Sweeter than sugar rocks
Holding onto a moment
Let go, I'm falling off

I just need a little of it
Need a little, not a lot to get into it oh
Keep calling me home

Can we go back to adrenaline?
Can we go back to adrenaline?
Girl you know that we've been settling, settling
But I need to feel, need to feel it
Adrenaline

Remembering all those nights
With your body straight to the sky
You work me until the morning
Fall asleep half past nine (A.M.)

So crazy in love
Enough was never enough
Tell me our touch ain't dull now
(Tell me our touch ain't dull now)

I just need a little of it
Need a little, not a lot to get into it oh
Keep calling me home

Can we go back to adrenaline?
Can we go back to adrenaline?
Girl you know that we've been settling, settling
But I need to feel, need to feel it
Adrenaline

And I don't know where the ceiling is anymore
anymore oh oh oh
No, I don't know where the feeling is anymore
anymore oh oh oh
No, I don't, don't

Can we go back to adrenaline?
(Can we go back from here?)
Can we go back to adrenaline?
(Can we go back from here?)
Girl you know that we've been settling, settling
But I need to feel, need to feel it
Adrenaline

Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh anymore
Oh oh oh (can we go back from here?)
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh anymore
(Can we go back from here?) oh oh oh oh
Anymore, ooh, ooh, ohh, ohh




(Can we go back from here?)
'Cause I need to feel, need to feel it adrenaline

Overall Meaning

In the song Adrenaline by Lauv, the singer is reminiscing about past passion with a former lover, the rush of adrenaline that came with it, and their current state of apathy towards each other. This feeling of detachment is conveyed in the second verse where he describes how their previous love that was wild and passionate is now no longer exciting or stimulating enough.  The singer wants to go back to the feeling of being exhilarated and is not ready to settle for less. They are convinced that they need a sufficient dose of 'adrenaline' to feel the magic of love once again.


Lauv suggests that they have hit a high point in their relationship but seems to communicate that if they stop now, they risk losing what they had entirely. The chorus yearns for the past, for the times when their relationship used to bring them together, and they were more fully invested in each other. The singer is worried that things won't ever be the same again. The ending sees the singer still searching for the motivation to recapture the passion that was once shared between himself and his lover, trying to figure out how to reignite the flame.  


Line by Line Meaning

Remembering what you said
Recalling the words you spoke before


Now I'm laying alone in bed
Being by myself in bed


Trying to wrap up this feeling
Attempting to understand this feeling


Falling apart instead
Becoming emotionally distressed


Cause baby we hit the top
We experienced the peak together


Sweeter than sugar rocks
Our romance was sweet and exciting


Holding onto a moment
Trying to grasp a moment in time


Let go, I'm falling off
Now, I'm losing that feeling


I just need a little of it
I just need a small amount of that feeling


Need a little, not a lot to get into it oh
I need just enough to connect with that feeling


Keep calling me home
I want to return to that emotional state


Can we go back to adrenaline?
Can we relive that exciting time?


Girl you know that we've been settling, settling
We've been content with less excitement


But I need to feel, need to feel it adrenaline
But I crave that exciting feeling


Remembering all those nights
Thinking back on those past nights


With your body straight to the sky
When you were lying next to me with your back straight


You work me until the morning
You kept me up all night with passion


Fall asleep half past nine (A.M.)
Finally sleeping at 9:30 in the morning


So crazy in love
Being completely infatuated with each other


Enough was never enough
Being constantly and insatiably in love


Tell me our touch ain't dull now
Reassuring me that our connection has not faded


I don't know where the ceiling is anymore
I don't know the limit to my emotional capacity anymore


No, I don't know where the feeling is anymore
I don't know where to access that feeling anymore


Can we go back from here?
Can we return to that heightened emotional state?
