Make It Work
Majid Jordan Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna be the one to say
Cause saying it will make it real
Tell me, am I going crazy?
Why do I feel

I've been having lots of troubles here lately
I don't wanna do these things but you make me (You do)
Something in my heart feels vacant

I can't even pretend, no, I won't even pretend

Cause it's just another day
It's just another day
Just another day
All I keep on thinking is work
Make it work, make it work

I'm trying to make a good impression
I don't even know what that would be
I'll give you all of my confessions
Between you and me

I've been having lots of troubles here lately
I don't wanna do these things but you make me
Oh something in my heart feels vacant (Something)
I can't even pretend, no, I won't even pretend

Cause it's just another day
It's just another day
Just another day
All I keep on thinking is work
Make it work, make it work

I make it work with you, make it work with you
I make it work with you, know I
I make it work with you, make it work with you
Swear you know it's
Just another day (It's just)
Just another day (Just, just)
Just another day (Not just)
All I keep on thinking is work
Make it work, make it work
I make it work with you, make it work with you

Cause it's just another day (It's just)
It's just another day (Just, just)
Just another day (Not just)
All I keep on thinking is work
Make it work, make it work
(I make it work with you, make it work with you)
Make it work, make it work

I'm tryna make some conversation

Overall Meaning

and not just talk about the weather
Cause I know that you've been patient
Through these lows and highs together

In "Make It Work" by Majid Jordan, the singer expresses feelings of confusion, emptiness, and a desire to make their relationship work. The singer admits that they don't want to say what's on their mind because it will make it too real, indicating that they are struggling with something they are not ready to confront. The repeated phrases of "Just another day" and "Make it work" add to the sense that the singer is going through the motions in their relationship, without much progress being made. The line "I've been having lots of troubles here lately, I don't wanna do these things but you make me" suggests that the singer may be feeling pressured to act a certain way in the relationship, potentially losing some of their agency in the process.

Despite these struggles, the singer also shows a willingness to work on the relationship, saying "I'm tryna make some conversation and not just talk about the weather" and "I make it work with you, make it work with you." The song contains a sense of tension between these conflicting feelings, of wanting to stay in the relationship and improve their dynamic while also feeling lost and empty. The repeated mention of "something in my heart feels vacant" indicates the singer is grappling with something deeper than just the surface-level issues in the relationship.
