Tightrope
ZAYN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why you wanna see how far I fall?
'Cause I'm already up here and I got my eyes closed
And I ain't ever fell from a love this tall
Are you ready? 'Cause I'm ready to let go
Never thought that I'd be ready again
Guess it's somethin' 'bout the neon red glow
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Sitting with my legs across your torso
We are who we are when we're alone
Baby, I'm ready, any minute we might fall
Lately, I feel like my grip is gone
But you got my arm
Are you ready? 'Cause I'm ready to let go
Never thought that I'd be ready again
Guess it's somethin' 'bout the neon red glow
Got me thinking 'bout giving all in
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Chaudhvin Ka Chand ho
Ya Aaftaab Ho
Jo Bhi Ho Tum Khuda Ki
Kasam Lajawab Ho
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Chaudhvin Ka Chand ho
Ya Aaftaab Ho
Jo Bhi Ho Tum Khuda Ki
Kasam Lajawab Ho

He admits that he's ready to let go of his fears and doubts and give into the strong feelings he has, conveyed through the lyrics "Guess it's somethin' 'bout the neon red glow, got me thinking 'bout giving all in." The chorus repeats the phrase "Something told me it was you," emphasizing that he's convinced that his current partner is the right one for him.

Something told me it was you
I have a hunch, an intuition, a sixth sense that tells me that you are the one I have been waiting for, the missing piece in my puzzle of life.
Sitting with my legs across your torso
I am in a physical, intimate position with you, feeling your warmth and your heartbeat, feeling safe and comfortable in your arms.

We can be our true selves, our vulnerable, flawed, beautiful selves, without any mask or pretense, without any judgment or shame.
Baby, I'm ready, any minute we might fall
Even though I am scared and uncertain, I am also excited and curious to see where this love will take us, knowing that every moment is precious and every step is a risk.
Lately, I feel like my grip is gone
I am losing my confidence, my sense of control, my ability to hold on to this love, feeling like I am slipping away, like I am failing to keep my balance.
But you got my arm
You are my anchor, my support, my lifeline, helping me stay afloat and not giving up on us, even when the going gets tough.
Chaudhvin Ka Chand ho
You are like the full moon of the 14th day of the lunar month, a symbol of beauty, grace, and romance.
Ya Aaftaab Ho
You are like the sun, a source of light, warmth, and vitality, illuminating my life and giving me hope for a brighter future.
Jo Bhi Ho Tum Khuda Ki Kasam Lajawab Ho
Whatever you are, whoever you are, you are amazing, incredible, divine, beyond words, beyond imagination, beyond belief.

Why's it gotta feel like I'm walkin' a tightrope?
Why you wanna see how far I fall?
'Cause I'm already up here and I got my eyes closed
And I ain't never fell from a love this tall
Are you ready? 'Cause I'm ready to let go
Never thought that I'd be ready again
Guess there's somethin' 'bout the neon and red glow
Got me thinkin' 'bout givin' all in
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Something told me it was you
Sittin' with my legs across your torso
We are who we are when we're alone
Baby, I'm ready, any minute we might fall
Lately, I feel like my grip is gone
But you got my all

Never thought that I'd be ready again
Guess there's somethin' 'bout the neon and red glow
Got me thinkin' 'bout givin' all in
