Strings
Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello Lyrics

All the strings attached girl
He wants a deep and meaningful relationship with the girl.

All the strings attached girl, yeah
He emphasizes his desire for a serious and committed relationship with the girl.

Met this girl when I was three or so
He met her when they were very young.

We were holding hands started going slow
They started their relationship slowly and innocently.

And it felt like an eternity
Their young love felt like it would last forever.

Said it felt like an eternity
He repeats that their love was strong and timeless.

'Cause I knew back then we were more than friends
Even when they were young, he knew their connection was special.

Two sides of the stories in our defence
They both have their own version of the story, but they both know how they feel.

And I've said it once, say it again
He has expressed his feelings for her before.

And it'll only end up burning me
He knows that revealing his true feelings could lead to heartbreak or rejection.

Years flew by I was less than twelve
Years passed, but he was still very young.

The only reason I need your help
He needs her presence and support.

Can you come over and work with me
He wants to spend time with her and collaborate with her.

Anytime you like and it'll work with me
Their schedules are flexible and compatible.

'Cause I knew back then if I get you close
If they were close, he knew that their relationship could blossom.

When the times right maybe I'll propose
If the timing was right, he would consider proposing to her.

Baby climb up, go on show me the ropes
He wants her to show him the way and guide him in the relationship.

So come on girl let me hold your hand
He wants to be physically close to her and hold her hand.

Let's go get lost, without a plan
They should take risks and explore the unknown together.

You know you've got the world to see
They have so much to discover and explore together.

You know you mean the world to me
He cares deeply for her and values their relationship.

And I know right now you have second thoughts
He knows that she may have doubts or concerns about their relationship.

Do whatever it takes, yeah whatev that cost
He is willing to do anything to make their relationship work, regardless of the cost.

you know me, not the type of guy
He wants her to understand his personality and intentions.

To sneak around, to do the time
He is not a sneaky or deceitful person.

But you must have me hypnotised
She has a powerful effect on him.

I'd get get get down to be by your side
He is willing to go to great lengths just to be with her.

Every night
He wants to be with her every night.

and baby when you fall down, I fall too
He wants to support her and be by her side through all of her struggles.

And if you get lost, then I get lost at with you
He wants to be lost with her and face any challenge together.

And when the waves crash down
Even in difficult times, he won't abandon her.

then baby I won't move
He won't run away or give up on their relationship.

want all the strings, all the strings attached
He wants to be fully committed and attached to her.

I won't let the moment pass
He wants to seize the opportunity to be with her.

And when I'm with you I feel better
Being with her makes him happier and more content.
