My Type
The Chainsmokers [FazMusic.Net] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't gotta say it, I know you ain't stayin' over
And I won't even mention the fact that you're never sober
I never know which side I'm gonna get tonight
And the closer we get, the less I think I know you

But you're just my type
The kind that only calls me late at night
You can't decide if you'll be yours or mine
I hate to say it, but you're just my type
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah

Just my type
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah
Just my type
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah

And I'm foolin' myself, 'cause I know that I'll never change ya
But you told me the truth, so I guess I can't really blame ya
No, you're not the one, but you're all I want, yeah
People say I'll get hurt, I don't know what they're so afraid of

But you're just my type
The kind that only calls me late at night
You can't decide if you'll be yours or mine
I hate to say it, but you're just my type
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah

Just my type
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah
Just my type
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah

But you're just my type
The kind that only calls me late at night
You can't decide if you'll be yours or mine
I hate to say it, but you're just my type
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah

Yeah, you're just my type (oh, I hate to say it, but you're)
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah
Just my type
Yeah, you're just my type, yeah, yeah

My type
Oh, I hate to say it, but you're just my type




My type
Oh, I hate to say it, but you're just my type

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Chainsmokers' song "My Type" seem to describe a complicated relationship where the singer is aware that their partner may not be entirely right for them or willing to commit, but they continue to be drawn to them regardless. The lyrics suggest that the singer is aware of the issues in their relationship, with lines such as "I never know which side I'm gonna get tonight" and "You can't decide if you'll be yours or mine." Despite this, they are unable to resist the attraction they feel towards their partner, remarking that "But you're just my type."


The chorus repeats the same lines several times, emphasizing the complexity of the situation and how the singer cannot help but feel drawn to this person who they know is not necessarily the best for them. Overall, the lyrics suggest a complex mix of desire and frustration, with the singer unable to resist the pull of this "type" of person even though they know they may not be ultimately right for them.

I just discovered this song back in March or April of this year, and man, this song gives me Pokémon: Black and White vibes or reminds me of it just like how every The Chainsmokers song makes me think of Pokémon. LOL!
