This song is about a girl that the singer has been flirting with and is wondering if she likes him back, and if he should take the risk of going after her because it could possibly be worth it if “that’s the girl”.
[Verse 1]
Am I playin' it safe?
I've been here for too long
Have I made a mistake?
Is the reason I stay
Cause I feel so alone?
Make up reasons to wait
Run so nothing goes wrong
But everything that she said
I'm overthinkin'
While I'm driving back home
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause she said
"Call me up when you're all alone
Cause I'm down for hanging out"
We'll stay up all night
And I'll just crash on your couch
"Call me up when you're all alone
Cause I'm down for hanging out"
Keep tellin' myself
[Chorus]
Maybe that's her, that's the girl
I've been tryna find
Maybe that's her, that's the girl
I'm just terrified
Maybe that's her, how will I know
If I never try?
Maybe that's her, that's the girl
That's the girl
I've been waiting for
I've been waiting for
[Verse 3]
Am I playin' it safe?
I don't know anymore
Do I keep pushin' away
Cause I'm just too afraid
That someone's gonna get her
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause she said
"Call me up when you're all alone
Cause I'm down for hanging out"
We'll stay up all night
And I'll just crash on your couch
"Call me up when you're all alone
Cause I'm down for hanging out"
Keep tellin' myself
[Chorus]
Maybe that's her, that's the girl
I've been tryna find
Maybe that's her, that's the girl
I'm just terrified
Maybe that's her, how will I know
If I never try?
Maybe that's her, that's the girl
That's the girl
I've been waiting for
I've been waiting for
[Bridge]
Am I playin' it safe?
Is she waitin' for me?
[Chorus]
Cause maybe that's her, that's the girl
I've been tryna find
Maybe that's her, that's the girl
I'm just terrified (I'm just terrified!)
Maybe that's her, how will I know
If I never try?
Maybe that's her, that's the girl
That's the girl (That's the girl!)
I've been waiting for
I've been waiting for
I've been waiting for
I've been waiting for
I've been waiting for
