Single
The Neighbourhood Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know if we should be alone together
I still got a crush, that's obvious
If nobody's around, what's stopping us?
Everywhere I go you show, whatever
I don't ever mind sharing oxygen
I just wanna get lost in your lungs

Just a baby, but she's growing up so fast
And I'm allergic to the waiting
She's just a baby girl
And I love to watch her dance
But it's making me go crazy

Aah, aah, aah, yeah

I don't think that we should be around each other
When you're in the room, you get my eyes
You open your mouth, I'm hypnotized, oh oh
I can make you laugh until you cry
You know you got all my attention
You know you got all mine, mmh

Baby, I can't help but call her dad
Even though I shouldn't say it
She was my baby girl
I might never get her back
But I don't mind being patient, yeah

Can you let your baby be my girl?
Can you let your baby be my girl?
Can you let your baby be my girl?
Can you let your baby be mine?

Okay, I'm just gonna tell you what I gotta say, right here
I'm sorry Dave, I never meant to hurt your baby girl
She's your little baby, she's my soulmate
I don't want you to worry, she'll be so safe right here
Oh, oh, oh, so Dave, would you let your baby be my girl?

Can you let your baby be my girl?
Can you let your baby be my girl?
Can you let your baby be my girl?




Can you let your baby be mine?
Oh, your baby she's mine

Well fun fact, Jesse can't really see colours, having a rare case of achromatopsia, and that's why most of the Nbhd's themes were bw.

Luis Marquez

Their relationship was sooo cute. It's scary that someone can be so in love for years and then just move on like it was nothing. Wishing well to both, thats life c:

steaktooramen

I can't believe what happened. My moral compass just wiggles now. Where to go?

steaktooramen

It's good that she didn't conceive though. One advantage.

Karma Küntz

Who moved on like it was nothing?
