“Feelings” details the singer’s confident and open flirtations with a crush. This attitude is contrasted against societal norms of playing hard to get and pretending to be disinterested.
Hayley Kiyoko talks about the inspirations behind “feelings” in an interview with Billboard:
“It started off wi...
[Intro]
(Feelings, woo)
[Verse 1]
I walk through this world just tryna be nice
They say I'll get hurt if I'm not like ice
I know I've got friends, I still get so lonely (So lonely)
If I look in your eyes, I'll want you to hold me, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm sorry that I care, care
I'm sorry that I care, care
It's really not that fair, fair
I can't help but care
[Chorus]
I over-communicate (Much) and feel too much (Much)
I just complicate it when I say too much (Much)
I laugh about it, dream about that casual touch (Touch)
Sex is fire, sick and tired of actin' all tough (Tough)
[Post-Chorus]
I'm hooked on all these feelings
I know exactly what I'm feelin' (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
This love asylum, like an island, just me and you (You; Oh-oh, oh)
Spent the night, you got me high, oh, what did you do?
I'm hooked on all these feelings
[Verse 2]
Caught up inside, both happy and lonely (Lonely)
Keep tellin' me lies, they're killin' me slowly (Slowly)
I get too attached, they don't even know me (Know me)
Why can't I relax? Why can't I relax?
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm sorry that I care, care (Care)
I'm sorry that I care, care (Care)
It's really not that fair, fair (Fair)
I can't help but care
[Chorus]
I over-communicate (Much) and feel too much (Much)
I just complicate it when I say too much (Much)
I laugh about it, dream about that casual touch (Touch)
Sex is fire, sick and tired of actin' all tough (Tough)
[Post-Chorus]
I'm hooked on all these feelings
I know exactly what I'm feelin' (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
This love asylum, like an island, just me and you (Oh-oh, oh)
Spent the night, you got me high, oh, what did you do?
[Bridge]
I'm hooked on all these feelings
I know exactly what I'm feelin'
I'm sorry that I care
It's really not that fair (Ooh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
[Chorus]
I over-communicate (Much) and feel too much (Much)
I just complicate it when I say too much (Much)
I laugh about it, dream about that casual touch (Touch)
Sex is fire, sick and tired of actin' all tough (Tought)
[Post-Chorus]
I'm hooked on all these feelings
I know exactly what I'm feelin' (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
This love asylum, like an island, just me and you (Oh-oh, oh)
Spent the night, you got me high, oh, what did you do?
I'm hooked on all these feelings
[Outro]
(What I need, what I need, what I need)
(Is for you to be sure, no, no, no)
(For you to be sure, no, no, no)
(For you to be sure, no, no, no)
