Hair kinda messy like me

Or maybe we're just stayin' too long (hey)

I bet the boys back home are mad

I found an angel wearing plaid
The subject of the song is described as an ethereal, almost divine figure, who is wearing a particular type of clothing (plaid).

You'll meet her soon (hey, hey, hey)

Can't pick myself up off the floor

That's something new, I'm stuck with you

It feels like I'm faded, she's gettin' naked

We went to a party and we're hiding upstairs

Your lady's telling you it ain't fair

You threw your phone, started tying your hair

I put her on her back and I tell her she's mine (mine)

She don't pay rent, but she stay in my mind (hey)
The subject does not live with the singer or contribute to the financial costs of their relationship, but they occupy a significant and enduring place in the singer's thoughts and emotions.

Forever, ever, forever, ever Forever, ever and more
