Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′m so tired right now
Yeah
I'm so God damn tired, I need the sleep
And I know that we′ve been up all night
Trying not to speak
Been playing 'round 'bout a month or two
But I'm so God damn tired
I need the sleep
I been freaking out (Yuh)
You been having doubts (Yuh)
Tell me what you want, anything at all
I just need to know now
Are you freaking out?
I get insecure, that makes me sick, yeah
I′m trying to find the cure for all this shit
Oh woah
So I try, but you welcome it
Through having a fight so we fuck through it
Then I hate that I get insecure
That makes me sick, yeah
I been freaking out (Yuh)
You been having doubts (Yuh)
Tell me what you want, anything at all
I just need to know now
Are you freaking out?
Swear that when I met you
You got up inside my head
(Up inside my head)
You said you'd never leave
While we were laying in your bed
It′s fine, it's fine, it′s fine, it's fine
If it's never the same
(It′s never the same)
It′s just another story in my brain
(Oh, I'm freaking out)
I been freaking out (Yuh)
You been having doubts (Oh, yuh)
Tell me what you want, anything at all
(What you want, anything)
I just need to know now
Are you freaking out? (Yuh)
You been having doubts (Yuh)
Tell me what you want, anything at all
I just need to know now
Are you freaking out?
