This song on Zendaya’s self named debut album is about how she wishes that her lover didn’t have to leave so often. And so, she wishes that she could “bottle him up” — or keep a piece of him with her always.
[Verse 1]
If loving you were a crime, I'd do the hardest time
You are perfection, nail it every time (yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
You know it kills me (kills me)
I can't always be right here
'Cause right now you love me
Then you disappear (oh)
[Chorus]
Wish I could always have you here with me
Wish I could hold ya, never let you leave
Wish I could put it away, save it for a rainy day
Wish I could bottle you up
If you wanna hear your voice inside of me
I'll drink it up and you're alive in me
Then I could put it away, save it for a rainy day
Wish I could bottle you up
Bottle you up
[Verse 2]
Right now, you're mine, but we're running out of time
It's part of the rush, it's taking me high (oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
You know it kills me (kills me)
We can't always be right here
'Cause right now you love me
Then you disappear (oh, whoa)
[Chorus]
Wish I could always have you here with me
Wish I could hold ya, never let you leave
Wish I could put it away, save it for a rainy day
Wish I could bottle you up
If you wanna hear your voice inside of me
I'll drink it up and you're alive in me
Then I could put it away, save it for a rainy day
Wish I could bottle you up (b-b-bottle you up)
[Refrain]
Bo-bottle you up
Wish I could bottle you up
Wish I could bottle you up
Wish I could bottle you up
Wish I could bottle you up
Wish I could bottle you up
Wish I could bottle you up, up
Bottle you up
I wish I could bottle you up (oh)
Wish I could bottle you up (oh)
Wish I could bottle you up (oh)
Wish I could bottle you up
Wish I could bottle you up, up
Bottle you up, up (yeah)
[Chorus]
Wish I could always have you here with me (here with me)
Wish I could hold ya, never let you leave (let you leave)
Wish I could put it away, save it for a rainy day
Wish I could bottle you up
If you wanna hear your voice inside of me (hear it inside)
I'll drink it up and you're alive in me (alive in me)
Then I could put it away, save it for a rainy day (put it away)
Wish I could bottle you up
[Refrain]
Bo-bottle you up
Wish I could bottle you up
Wish I could bottle you up
Wish I could bottle you up
I wish I could bottle you up
Wish I could bottle you up
Wish I could bottle you up
Bo-bottle you up, oh
[Outro]
Then I could put it away, save it for a rainy day
Wish I could bottle you up
Bottle you up
