Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hold on just a minute my friends and I are sipping rum and coke on a Friday night,
Having too much to drink so we can barely think guess were waiting till the summer light,
And I don't wanna wake up,
Feeling like an outcast staring at this dry glass I just wanna find out if we're wasting time, oh if I'm wasting time

I felt you under my skin, as soon as the moment that you walked in,
Made the roof shake hearts break struck me like an earthquake got me on my last drink can I meet you half-
Way and I'll take you back home, thinking of ways just to get us alone,
So my friends don't think I'm crazy after what has happened lately.

Cause I'm so outta my face, caught up in the moment and I want her taste
These feelings can't escape, caught up in the moment and I want your taste

Hold on just a minute my friends and I were sipping now I'm home she's by my side,
Holding out for the moment till she's almost broken, happens to many times
And I don't wanna wake up, drained of my desires did she take me higher I just need to try and stop wasting time, oh am I wasting time
The scent of her perfume, traps me every time I'm in the room,
like my insides are too dry bleeding from the outside barley even think straight now she's got me roaming to high
And should've known, every now and then I see my darker tone, I think I'm going crazy, I do this too much maybe





Cause I'm so outta my face, caught up in the moment and I want her taste
These feelings can't escape, caught up in the moment and I want your taste

Hold on just a minute, my friends and I
Sip on Rom and Coke on a Friday night
Having too much to drink so we can
Barely think us a way into the summer light
And I don't wanna wake up feeling like an outcast
Staring at this dry glass, I just wanna find out
If we're wasting time, oh, if I'm wasting time
I felt you under my skin as soon
As the moment that you walked in
Made the roof shake, hearts brake
Drop me like an earthquake
Got me on my last drink and I'll meet you half way
And I take you back home
Thinking of ways just to get us alone
So my friends don't think I'm crazy
After what has happened lately

'Cause I'm so out of my face
Caught up in the moment and I want her taste
These feelings can't escape
Caught up in the moment and I want your taste
Caught up in the moment and I want your taste
Caught up in the moment and I want your taste

Hold on just a minute, my friends and I
Sitting down home just by my side
Holding out for the moment till she's almost broken
Happens to many times
And I don't wanna wake up drained of my desires
Did she take me higher?
I just need to try and stop wasting time
Oh, am I wasting time?
The scent of her perfume traps
Me every time I'm in the room
Like my insides are too dry
Bleeding from the outside
Barely even think straight
Now she's got me roaming too high
And should've known
Every now and then I see my darker tone
I think I'm going crazy, I do this too much maybe?

Cause I'm so out of my face
Caught up in the moment and I want her taste
These feelings can't escape
Caught up in the moment and I want your taste
Caught up in the moment and I want your taste
Caught up in the moment and I want your taste
