ZooKeepers Lyrics

Maybe you don't have to rush
You could leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place
We don't need to keep it hush
You could leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place

Stuck in a limbo
Half hypnotized
Each time I let you stay the night, stay the night
Up in the morning
Tangled in sheets
We play the moment on repeat, on repeat

When you're standing there in your underwear
And my t-shirt from the night before
With your messed up hair
And your feet still bare
Would you mind closing the bedroom door?

Maybe you don't have to rush
You could leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place
We don't need to keep it hush
You could leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place
I just, I just can't let you go
Give me something I've never known
So maybe you don't have to rush
You could leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place

No need to question next time we meet
I know you're coming home with me, home with me
Sweat like a sauna
Break out the ice
I know you're gonna stay the night, stay the night

When you're standing there in your underwear
And my t-shirt from the night before
With your messed up hair
And your feet still bare
Would you mind closing the bedroom door?

Maybe you don't have to rush
You could leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place
We don't need to keep it hush
You could leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place
I just, I just can't let you go
You give me something I've never known
So maybe you don't have to rush
You could leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place

Cause I don't want this to end
And there's no need to play pretend
If you stay with me again
Would you mind closing the bedroom door?

Maybe you don't have to rush
You could leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place
We don't need to keep it hush
You could leave a toothbrush
At my place
At my place
I just, I just can't let you go
Give me something I've never known
So maybe you don't have to rush
You could leave a toothbrush

At my place
At my place

The first two lines of the chorus suggest the idea of the person staying over and leaving a toothbrush at the singer's place, indicating that the relationship may be becoming more frequent. The pre-chorus describes the singer being entranced by the other person when they spend time together, and enjoying the repetition of the same moment.

In the second verse, the singer is confident that the other person will stay the night, and the chorus repeats with the idea of leaving a toothbrush again.

The third verse indicates that the singer wants the casual relationship to continue and expresses a desire to not pretend or play games.
