Small Talk
Majid Jordan Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I gotta talk to you
I got things to say

I've already said too much
And I don't wanna rush right now
But I feel so far away
I don't want to rush right now
I gotta talk to you

Am I making a mistake?
Tell me

If you would take this chance
Then I'll take it too
I have these thoughts I keep
I wanna share with you
And when I'm out of luck
I always pray for her
To bring me back to life
You always make me feel good

Please don't let me down
I wanna make you feel good
Please just hear me out
You always make me feel so
Please don't let me down
This is something means so much to me

I gotta call on you
I wanna call on you

I got things to say
I've already said too much
And I don't wanna rush right now
But I feel so far away
I don't want to rush right now
I gotta talk to you
Am I making a mistake?
Tell me

If you would take this chance
Then I'll take it too
I have these thoughts I keep
I wanna share with you
And when I'm out of luck
I always pray for you
To bring me back to life
You always make me feel good

Please don't let me down
I wanna make you feel good
Please just hear me out
You always make me feel so
Please don't let me down
This is something means so much to me
Oh so much to me

Please don't let me down
Please don't let me down like this
Just hear me out
Girl just show me what I miss
Please don't let me down
Hear me out a little bit

(Am I making a mistake?)
Please don't let me down
Please don't let me down like this
(Am I making a mistake?)
Just hear me out
Girl just show me what I miss

I don't know where you're going
I just know where you are
But I wanna end up wherever you are

If you would take this chance
Then I'll take it too
I have these thoughts I keep
I wanna share with you
And when I'm out of luck
I always pray for you
To bring me back to life
You always make me feel good

Please don't let me down
I wanna make you feel good
Please just hear me out
You always make me feel so
Please don't let me down

This is something means so much to me
Oh so much to me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Small Talk" by Majid Jordan seem to be an expression of their desire to open up to someone and share their innermost thoughts and feelings. At the same time, they're also cautious about doing so and don't want to rush things. The verse "I've already said too much, and I don't wanna rush right now" could indicate that they've spoken in the past, but perhaps not to the extent that they want to now. They're feeling far away from the person they want to talk to and want to make sure that they don't make a mistake by opening up too much too soon.

Throughout the song, the artist repeatedly asks for the listener not to let them down, suggesting a trust is established. The line "I always pray for you to bring me back to life" implies this person has been a positive force in the artist's life, and they want to make sure that they don't ruin this relationship by revealing too much too soon. It seems that the artist has perhaps been holding back their emotions and wants to take a chance and see if the other person feels the same way.

In conclusion, "Small Talk" is a song about the desire to open up to someone and the fear of doing so, as the artist doesn't want to ruin a valuable relationship. It's a delicate balancing act between taking a chance and not rushing things, and the lyrics express the artist's vulnerability and desire to communicate their innermost thoughts.

Being a producer, I always give jordan slightly more credit with their songs, but man, majid al maskati can really be the whole melody himself. People don't realize that singing and song writing is so difficult, he pumps out classics like it's nothing. None the less, both are absolute studs. They're famous, I know, but they're still so underrated. It's like a piece of the 70s/80s got lost in time and ended up here for us. We're lucky

I personally love these guys for just the overall vibe they give. Almost a nostalgic feel, especially in their music videos. Makes me just wanna go on a night time adventure and live in the moment. This is the kind of music I feel like is missing. Well, to me at least haha. Mad props. Hope these guys get bigger.
