Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All I really know is I want you to come with me
And fuck with me, I want you to with me
I ain't going home without you, yeah I need you with me
Yeah I need you now
Yeah I need you now
Yeah I need you now, woah
Yeah I need you now
I just wanna know
Are you down or you not?
Do you wanna go?
Are you down or you not?
I just wanna know
Are you down or you not?
I ain't listening to no one
I'm just drowning them out
Bout to dip, are you coming with me?
People staring like it's something to see
Come jump in the sea, you come fuck with me
Yeah it ain't gotta be no extra shit, we rush it to be
But I can show you things you probably not accustomed to see
My ex is tripping, what else is new? Yeah that's just a selfish view
Same issues that I'm not tryna help her through
Behaviors always jealous like, fuck you expect me to do?
Texting at two, I only got this one question for you
Let's go somewhere and find something to do
Know I'm impatient, but I just want you
'Cause I can't see tonight ending at two
I know I'm faded, but so are you too
Oh I don't know where I'm gonna go
All I really know is I want you to come with me
And fuck with me, I want you to with me
I ain't going home without you, yeah I need you with me
Yeah I need you now
Yeah I need you now
Yeah I need you now, woah
Yeah I need you now
I just wanna know
Are you down or you not?
Do you wanna go?
Are you down or you not?
I just wanna know
Are you down or you not?
I ain't listening to no one
I'm just drowning them out
How much time I be spending to chase
I be chilling, I'm not sprinting the race
I mean, of course, she knowing less in the case
She had it all, I mean, a ten in the face
Could tell from clothes to drugs she had the most expensivist taste
Both designer, I hope I find her, let's get higher and higher
I see her, I eye her, like nothing in this world matters prior
Listen, y'all chasing chicks, I'm asking "why" like I'm Jadakiss
Except her naked pics make other girls look the basicest, so
Uh I know this isn't your usual form
Uh, just play it safe, try avoiding the storm
Uh, I know it's cold but that whiskey is warm
I don't know what to do right now, listen, I'm torn
Oh I don't know where I'm gonna go
All I really know is I want you to come with me
And fuck with me, I want you to with me
I ain't going home without you, yeah I need you with me
Yeah I need you now
Yeah I need you now
Yeah I need you now woah
Yeah I need you now
I just wanna know
Are you down or you not?
Do you wanna go?
Are you down or you not?
I just wanna know
Are you down or you not?
I ain't listening to no one
I'm just drowning them out

Does anyone else get super nostalgic listening to this song? This makes me remember driving in the car with my mother to get dinner. It makes me remember life when I had much less stress. This song doesn’t just remind me of my memories, it is a memory. I hope you all are safe and doing well during these hard times and have a good day.
Edit 1: It’s midnight, currently. June 27, 2022! I cannot believe the amount of support this comment has received over all of this time, I feel so much genuine love for all of you. As I re-read this comment that I wrote two years ago, so seemingly straightforward, I remember just how vulnerable I had felt while writing it. I was dealing with the loss of a close friend, familial issues, and other personal troubles. Somehow, assisting others when I needed help myself was more than enough to make me feel better, at the time. If you ever need to hear it, remember that you and your well-being should always come first. Help yourself so you can be the best that you possibly can be when you lend a hand to others. Thankfully, I am more than happy to report that I’m doing so much better, now! It has taken such a long time, grieving is a long and difficult journey, one with no clear ending point. After time, however, it does get easier. You will not feel as low as that forever. Regardless, I truly wish that I could express my gratitude to you all, as I’m so incredibly fortunate to have all of these wonderful responses. I appreciate the honesty, the raw emotions that some of you shared when you replied. Never take being able to share your true feelings for granted, I love you all!
Stay safe, and once more…
have a good day :))💗

Lyrics
Picture perfect memories
Scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone cause
I can't fight it anymore.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.
It's a quarter after one.
I'm all alone and I need you now.
Said I wouldn't call, but I lost all control
And I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now.
Another shot of whiskey
Can't stop looking at the door.
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before.
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind.
For me it happens all the time.
It's a quarter after one.
I'm a little drunk and I need you now.
Said I wouldn't call, but I lost all control
And I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now.
Yes I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all.
It's a quarter after one.
I'm all alone and I need you now.
And I said I wouldn't call
But I'm a little drunk and I need you now.
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now.
I just need you now.
Oh baby I need you now.

Picture perfect memories,
Scattered all around the floor
Reaching for the phone 'cause,
I can't fight it anymore
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It's a quarter after one,
I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call
but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without,
I just need you now
Another shot of whiskey,
can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping
in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It's a quarter after one,
I'm a little drunk,
And I need you now
Said I wouldn't call
but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without,
I just need you now
oh ohhh...
Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothing at all
It's a quarter after one,
I'm all alone and I need you now
And I said I wouldn't call
but I'm a little drunk and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without,
I just need you now
I just need you now
Oh baby I need you now...
