Naked
Robin Schulz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm in trouble, trouble
'Cause I let her get away
She's another level and I think I'm losing faith

I keep changing colors to keep her from letting me go, go, go
I'm deep underwater, I see that it's starting to show, show, oh

I'm naked, you've taken away my disguise
I'm naked, the sky is the ceiling tonight
I can't stop, stop just to feel it
My heart just dropped in front of you
I'm naked, you've taken away my disguise

Through the struggle, struggle
I'ma make it out okay
'Cause behind my shadow, there's a man who'll find his way

I keep changing colors to keep her from letting me go, go, go
I'm deep underwater, I see that it's starting to show, show, oh

I'm naked, you've taken away my disguise
I'm naked, the sky is the ceiling tonight
I can't stop, stop just to feel it
My heart just dropped in front of you
I'm naked, you've taken away my disguise

I'm naked
I'm naked
I'm naked
I'm naked

When it's dark, we can stay in the light
When it's dark, we can stay in the light
When it's dark, we can stay in the light
When it's dark, we can stay in the light
When it's dark, we can stay in the light
When it's dark, we can stay in the light
When it's dark, we can stay in the light

I'm naked
I'm naked
I'm naked




I'm naked
I'm naked

However, he is aware that he has to change to keep the relationship, hence the lyrics "I keep changing colors to keep her from letting me go, go, go." He knows that he has to go through the struggle to make it work, which is reinforced by the lines, "Through the struggle, struggle/ I'ma make it out okay."
