Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Didn't wanna bleed dry
But you fell on my map
Turned my red flags to white
Thought I built my defenses
But you won't relent in my mind
And now I'm
Collecting Kodaks inside my head
I'm losing sleep 'cause I'm so obsessed
But I don't regret
Looking at you looking at me
We're twenty-two but I need you on my A-team
And I won't lie
You make all my feelings take flight
I mean it like
You're taking me up to cloud nine
Summertime drives in my Camry
Singing Malibu Nights like we're LANY
And I won't lie
Everything with you just feels right
I mean it like
You're taking me up to cloud nine
Just you and I
Yeah we started off
Heading different directions
Thought I'd seen it all
But you changed my perspective
From upside down to inside out 180
(Oh)
Now I'm
Collecting Kodaks inside my head
I don't want memories without her
I'm losing sleep 'cause I'm so obsessed
But I don't regret
Looking at you looking at me
We're twenty-two but I need you on my A-team
And I won't lie
You make all my feelings take flight
I mean it like
You're taking me up to cloud nine
Summertime drives in my Camry
Singing Malibu Nights like we're LANY
And I won't lie
Everything with you just feels right
I mean it like
You're taking me up to cloud nine
Just you and I
(Ooh)
Cloud nine
(Ooh)
And I won't lie
Everything with you just feels right
I mean it like
You're taking me up to cloud nine
Just you and I
Collecting Kodaks inside my head
Turned black and white into color
When it's just us the sun don't set
And I'm obsessed
With looking at you looking at me
We're twenty-two but I need you on my A-team
And I won't lie
You make all my feelings take flight
I mean it like
You're taking me up to cloud nine
Summertime drives in my Camry
Singing Malibu Nights like we're LANY
And I won't lie
Everything with you just feels right
I mean it like
You're taking me up to cloud nine
Just you and I
(Ooh)
Cloud nine
(Ooh)
And I won't lie
Everything with you just feels right
I mean it like
You're taking me up to cloud nine
Just you and I

I was holding back
I was trying not to let my emotions take over
Didn't wanna bleed dry
I didn't want to give too much of myself away
But you fell on my map
But then you came into my life and changed everything
Turned my red flags to white
Made me overlook the potential problems in our relationship
Thought I built my defenses
Thought I had protected myself from getting hurt
But you won't relent in my mind
But you keep invading my thoughts and feelings
And now I'm
And now I am
Collecting Kodaks inside my head
Collecting happy memories in my mind
I don't want memories without her
I don't want to lose the good times we have had
I'm losing sleep 'cause I'm so obsessed
I can't stop thinking about you and it's keeping me up at night
But I don't regret
But I don't feel bad about it
Looking at you looking at me
I love seeing the way you look at me
We're twenty-two but I need you on my A-team
We're young but I want to be with you forever
And I won't lie
And I am being honest
You make all my feelings take flight
You make me feel alive and full of joy
I mean it like
I really mean it
You're taking me up to cloud nine
You're making me the happiest I've ever been
Summertime drives in my Camry
We go for drives in my car during the summer
Singing Malibu Nights like we're LANY
We listen to cool music and have fun together
Everything with you just feels right
Being with you feels like the perfect fit
Just you and I
Just the two of us
Yeah we started off
We began
Heading different directions
We were going in separate ways
Thought I'd seen it all
I thought I knew what love was
But you changed my perspective
But then you came along and changed my outlook on love
From upside down to inside out 180
You turned everything around and made it better
Turned black and white into color
You made everything more vibrant and exciting
When it's just us the sun don't set
When we're together, time seems to stand still
And I'm obsessed
And I can't get enough of you
Cloud nine
Feeling on top of the world
