Default Picture
T‐Pain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey I got a feeling in my bones that I can't get rid off
But that's probably the base
Can't get this picture out my mind, that I've seen on Twitter
The one of your face
Girl I'm just trying to see, if you feel just a little like me
So DM me back, don't do me like that
I wanna see your pretty ass in person, girl
Plus I'm way on the other side of the earth
And girl plane tickets too high for me to pay
I'm just trying to see, if you feel just a little like me
So you can give me a call
I ain't doing nothing at all
[Chorus]
Girl you keep tweeting what your doing
Posting pictures
And I feel like I need to be posted with you
Laid up in the bed somewhere, smearing make up, messing up your hair
Girl you keep making me spend my time
Checking on your time-line
You make me say whoa oho yeah yeah
I'm falling in love with your default picture.
You don't ever show up in my mentions girl.
Just say my name.
Must be some wrong with my eyes or my iPhone5.
Or is this even your page?
I'm just trying to see if you've got any interest in me.
Or am I bothering you?
Should I be unfollowing you?
And you be acting like that dude in that picture is your boyfriend
But I know it's just a face,
Let me show you that I am better than him,
Just name a time and place.
Girl you gotta see that here's where I should be.
And girl you can give me a call
I just wanna talk to you that's all.
[Chorus: x2]
I'm falling in love with your default picture.
In T-Pain's song Default Picture, the artist sings about a girl he sees on Twitter and how he can't stop thinking about her. He mentions that he's falling in love with her default picture, which seems to be the only thing he's seen of her. He tries to make contact with her by direct messaging her and asking her to call him back. He also comments on her tweets and follows her time-line to check what she's up to, hoping she'll notice him. However, the girl appears to be out of his reach as she lives on the other side of the earth, and he can't afford a plane ticket to meet her. Despite this, he fantasizes about being in bed with her and becoming her boyfriend. It's unclear whether the girl even knows who he is or if she's interested in him.
The song reflects the modern age of online dating and social media, where people can connect with each other without having met in person. T-Pain's lyrics speak to the romantic hopes and frustrations that come with this new way of dating. The artist captures the longing and confusion that can arise from mere online interactions, where the person you're interested in may be miles away or not interested at all. It's a relatable song for anyone who's ever harbored a crush on someone they've only seen online.
