Just one of my accomplishments
Another girl
It's hard because I didn't mean for this
So come on
Let me stay with you
For a while for a day or maybe two
See your smile never follow through
And we'll go
Straight from oh oh's to whoa oh's
From goodbye calls to overdose
I write your name in bullets
So you're the last thing through my head
(It's for you, for you)
Lover's become us luscious
(It's for you, for you)
Lover's become us luscious red
I'm just a boy
It's hard because I live in some past tense
Another boy
But I'm glad it's safe for you and now it's safe for me
So come on
Let me stay with you
For a while for a day or maybe two
I'd like to lay with you
See your smile never follow through
And we'll go
Straight from oh oh's to whoa oh's
From goodbye calls to overdose
I write your name in bullets
So you're the last thing through my head
(It's for you, for you)
Lover's become us luscious
(It's for you, for you)
Lover's become us luscious red
Go
(It's for you, for you)
Lover's become us luscious red
(It's for you, for you)
Lover's become us luscious red
(It's for you, for you)
So you're the last thing through my head
(It's for you, for you)
Lover's become us luscious red
And we'll go
Straight from oh oh's to whoa oh's
From goodbye calls to overdose
I write your name in bullets
So you're the last thing through my head
(It's for you, for you)
Lover's become us luscious
(It's for you, for you)
Lover's become us luscious red
(It's for you, for you)
Oh, oh, Lover's become us luscious red
(It's for you, for you)
Lover's become us luscious red
The lyrics to Short Stack's song "It's4u" describe a complicated and potentially unhealthy relationship between two people. The singer, who is referred to as "just a boy," seems to have a history with the girl he's singing to. He acknowledges that she is just one of his "accomplishments," suggesting that he may have used her in some way in the past. He also admits that he didn't mean for things to turn out like they did, indicating that there may be some regret or guilt involved in the situation.
Despite this, the singer still wants to "lay with" the girl and "see [her] smile." He acknowledges the potential harm in their relationship, noting that they go "straight from goodbye calls to overdose." However, he can't seem to stay away from her, writing her name in bullets so she's the last thing on his mind.
The song seems to be about the thrill and danger of an intense relationship, one that may not be entirely healthy. The singer is drawn to the girl despite their history and the potential consequences of being together. The lyrics are somewhat ambiguous in terms of how the girl feels about the singer, but it's clear that there's a strong attraction between them.
Overall, "It's4u" is a complex and emotionally charged song about a toxic relationship that the singer seems unable to resist.
