impossible
Travis Scott Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You the one, you know me the best
You the one I call when I'm stressed
This the time of the year I feel alone
This the time of the year you treat me wrong
Yeah, this the late night, you know the deal (deal)
On a late night, nowhere to chill
Yeah, I'm on the west, yeah, I'm on the west side
Off the drugs, know I'm not the best guy
But you know I always get it done, yeah
You done had all of the rappers, I'm the one, yeah
Ain't gon' lie, I remember how it feels, yeah
Ain't gon' lie, I'ma tell you this for real
(What) split a pack of the woods down
Ride with me, yeah, you wish you could now
Always come and go and never fail
It was never love, I could tell now
She pop 'em up, Blue Chanel just to get it up
Parking lot full of foreign hoes on the regular
With their painted toes in their heels
Let's go find a place that's far from here, for real
Far from here

Nights like this, nights like this
I wish I could do the impossible
I wish I could do the impossible
Nights like this, nights like this, I wish
I could do the impossible, I could do the impossible

Yeah you the one, you know me the best
You the one I call when I'm stressed
This the time of year when I'm alone
This the time of the year we get our own
I can't lie when I'm out on the west
Yeah, the west, yeah, yeah, the west side
And lately, I ain't been feeling the best
'Cause you the best, yeah, you my best high
Now you know what you're dealing with
Now you know what's wrong, what the feeling is
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Rastas rolling in Benz up in here
Bandits poppin' them bars up
Man nuh run up the bands
That make them gun claps in here
No fear, no fear, you rock, I hear
I'm gon' let you know that the man is for real
Yeah, for real
Far from here

Nights like this, nights like this
I wish I could do the impossible
I wish I could do the impossible
Nights like this, nights like this, I wish
I could do the impossible
I could do the impossible
Yeah

I wish I could do the impossible




I wish I could do the impossible
I could do the impossible

Overall Meaning

The song “Impossible” by Travis Scott features lyrics that explore feelings of loneliness and the desire for the impossible. The song opens with a personal revelation about the strong bond he shares with the person he is addressing, possibly a lover or close friend. They are the one person that he can trust and confide in during times of stress. However, he admits that there are times during the year where he feels alone, and that this person is the reason why he feels this way. The line “This the time of the year you treat me wrong” suggests that there could be some conflict or hurt feelings between them.


As the song progresses, Travis paints a picture of a late, lonesome night where he finds himself on the West side, away from home. He acknowledges his shortcomings and the fact that he is not the best guy but admits that he always gets things done. He feels that he is the one person who truly understands and loves this person, and he is not afraid to remind them of this, stating “You done had all of the rappers, I’m the one.”


In the chorus, he expresses his desire for the impossible, wishing that things were different and that he could erase the pain and loneliness, longing for something that cannot be. The lyrics in this song are a true reflection of the emotional turmoil that comes with the highs and lows of love.
