When asked about their inspiration for the song in a Tumblr post, the artist replied:
Me liking someone a lot and not being able to be with them all the time. Downtown is about liking someone a lot and someone liking you a lot but you’re not able to be together all the time so you make time for eac...
[Intro]
Pack a bag, call a cab
For one night, one night [x4]
[Chorus]
Go downtown with me
On me
Smoking lots in parking lots
We'll have old memories
Go downtown on me
With me
Basking day after glow over the city
And you say
Who knows
Who knows
Who knows me like you do?
And you say
Who knows
Who knows
Who knows how to bruise you like I do?
I know you're not the public type
And that's alright because I'm shy and I'm quiet sometimes
And you know I heard she was nice
But I don't want to know
Just like you don't want to know where he sleeps at night
I just want one night where we don't fight
Something that we know is right
[Chorus]
Go downtown with me
On me
Smoking lots in parking lots
We'll have old memories
Go downtown on me
With me
Basking day after glow of the city
I bruise like a peach and now I'm twice as sweet
So you bite on my shoulder, you know that's my favorite
And you ask me to stay, you say it hurts when I go away
But staying and obeying's not in the cards for me
I wonder how she feels and you tell me she's not real
You say that being good just doesn't taste as good as me
I want to stay because it hurts when I go away
Who knows?
I said who knows?
Who knows?
Who knows how to bite you and who knows how to love you?
Who leaves the scars where you like them?
Me
