Baby
Tei Shi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Even though I'm dryin' up on patience
You know I'm the same me, maybe
We could try doin' somethin' fun tonight
We both know we're runnin' out of secrets
Only in the daylight, we thrive
Listen here (Oh, baby love)
We can end this now with a full house
Take a bow and shed a single tear, oh dear
But hold me close, and we can dance to the violence
Let me know, I wanna go down in silence
It's not personal (Oh, baby love)
Just wish I could reverse it all (Can't have it all)
Give me something good and send a wink my way
If it hurts at all, I'll stop the fall
Sit tight (Oh, baby love)
And dream about me all night (I don't wanna go)
Take a dive and swim inside our memories
Everything is alright, oh my
If you're in there
Just know that I am not scared (Don't save me, love)
I'll take you by the shoulders
Squeeze them tight and shake you
'Til I wake you, hey you (Hey! Hey!)
To lose you (Oh, baby love)
Is something I refuse to do
If everything's a choice in life just like they say
Well then I choose you, doot-doot
Hold me close, and we can dance with the violence
Let me know, I wanna go down in silence, silence
Go down, ah, ah
And we can dance to the violence (ahh)
Let me know
I'll go down in silence, silence
Baby (Oh, baby love)
Oh, baby (I've had enough)
Oh, baby
You know I'm the same me

This song is a masterpiece.
Uur Betch
this track has been my favorite of her for years..none of the others do it for me
Hudson Caceres
I think it’s about a two lovers who’s flame is fizzling out and they try to keep it exciting but it’s dying. So then the girl ends it, but when they’re not together she starts to second guess her decision, and she subtly wants him back. But by the end how much she wants him is more apparent and it appears she can’t live without him.

The ending few "baby, whoa baby" 's are some of the most satisfying vocals I've ever heard still. This song stays in my top 20
