Sammie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's really love that I'm needin'
Yeah
I've been drinkin' more than usual
Showin' my face all up in places that I shouldn't go
And tellin' secrets to these girls, knowin' they shouldn't know
And plantin' seeds in places, knowin' that they wouldn't grow
Knowin' that in between is where you find the truth, oh
Knowin' that in between is where you leave the proof, ah
Knowin' that in between is, yeah
I've been livin' too fast, slow down
Girl I pray I don't crash, slow down
Does anybody care anymore?
Can't feel the love out in the air anymore
Yeah (Nah, nah)
I've been livin' too fast, slow down
Girl I pray I don't crash, slow down
Does anybody care anymore?
Can't feel the love out in the air anymore
Yeah (Nah, nah)
I slept with four girls in five days, no threesome
I ain't proud of myself
Knowin' if I knock one up, it's really, really gon' be somethin'
I ain't proud of myself
Tired of these situationships (Yeah)
More tired of failed relationships (Woah, no)
I've been livin' too fast, slow down
Girl I pray I don't crash, slow down
Does anybody care anymore? (Does anybody care anymore?)
Can't feel the love out in the air anymore (Can't feel the love out in the air anymore)
Yeah (Nah, nah)
I've been livin' too fast, slow down
Girl I pray I don't crash, slow down
Does anybody care anymore? (Does anybody care anymore?)
Can't feel the love out in the air anymore (Can't feel the love out in the air anymore)

The song "Crash" by Sammie depicts a situation where he has been living too fast and needs to slow down before he crashes. He starts by admitting that he has been needlessly drinking and showing up in places he shouldn't go. Sammie acknowledges that he is spilling out secrets to girls that he ought not to be sharing with them. Moreover, he is planting seeds in places where they won't grow. He realizes that he is being indecisive and is not upfront because he is trying to find the truth. In the chorus, he prays to God not to crash and wonders if anyone cares anymore. Sammie concludes the song by questioning his promiscuous behavior and admitting that he is tired of both failed relationships and shallow situationships.
In this song, Sammie explores the dangers of living in haste and how it can lead to self-destruction. The lyrics give a sense of vulnerability, honesty, and accountability that are common in R&B music. Sammie's smooth voice, the slow rhythm, and the lyrics create a perfect blend to express his desire for a more stable life.
