Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stay with me girl
Message in a battle
ohhh
I can see clearly
Only one I wanna be with
Only one that's for me
You make me happy girl
So when this bottle touch the water

Hope it reach you
Cause when I'm down in sorrow
You give me hope for tomorrow
Stay with me baby
I need my hope for tomorrow
Drown in my sorrows been sick every day
Since you've been gone,
I feel like I'm fading away
Faded like the shallow waters
I need you back
And I need your bed
And I need you in my life
Since you've been gone
Feel like I lost my world
I lost my best friend
So I hope you get my letter girl
Whatever it is
I hope it gets better baby
I hope it gets better
Message in a battle
ohhh
I can see clearly
Only one I wanna be with
Only one that's for me
You make me happy girl
So when this bottle touch the water
Hope it reach you
Cause when I'm down in sorrow
You give me hope for tomorrow

Stay with me baby
I need my hope for tomorrow

Line by Line Meaning

Don't be so mysterious
Stop being so secretive and unclear

Why don't you clear this up?
Why don't you explain yourself and make things clear?

We all get carried away
We all get caught up in our feelings and emotions

I know that's easy to say
I understand that saying it is easier than doing it

So are you serious?
Are you really telling me the truth?

I wouldn't be here unless
I wouldn't be asking unless I already suspected

I already knew
I already suspected what you're hiding

So come on tell me the truth
So just be honest with me already

Notes in a bottle
You keep leaving me hints or clues about what you want

That tell me what you want
Those hints or clues communicate your desires

But I'm bound to find out
But I will eventually figure out what you really mean
