Während Childish Gambino in seinen Versen darüber rappt wie es ihm versagt ist mit der “Einen” zusammen zu sein, nimmt Olson die Gegenposition ein und rappt über eine Person, die nicht mit der “Einen” zusammen sein will. Das Lied drückt die komplizierten Emotionen aus, die vorkommen, wenn man grade...
[Hook]
I wanted you to know
That I am ready to go, heartbeat
My heartbeat
I wanted you to know
Whenever you are around, can't speak
I can't speak
I wanted you to know
That I am ready to go, heartbeat
My heartbeat
I wanted you to know
Whenever you are around, can't speak
I can't speak
[Verse 1: Childish Gambino]
I know what your boy like
Skinny tie and a cuff tight
He go and make breakfast
You walk around naked
I might just text you
Turn your phone over, when it's all over
No settling down, my text go to your screen
You know better than that
I come around when you least expect me
I'm sitting at the bar when your glass is empty
You thinking that this song's coming on to tempt me
I need to be alone like the way you left me
You start calling, you start crying
I come over, I'm inside you
I can't find you
The girl that I once had
But the sex that we have isn't half bad
The text say that "It's not fair"
That's code for "He's not here"
And I'm-a flirt with this new girl
And I'm-a call if it don't work
So we fuck till we come to conclusions
All the things that we thought we was losing
I'm ghost and you know this
That's why we broke up in the first place
Cause
[Hook]
I wanted you to know
That I am ready to go, heartbeat (Spürst du mei'n Herzschlag?)
My heartbeat (Fühlst du mei'n Herzschlag?)
I wanted you to know
Whenever you are around, can't speak (Spürst du mei'n Herzschlag?)
I can't speak (Fühlst du mei'n Herzschlag?)
I wanted you to know
That I am ready to go, heartbeat (Spürst du mei'n Herzschlag?)
My heartbeat (Fühlst du mei'n Herzschlag?)
I wanted you to know
Whenever you are around, can't speak (Spürst du mei'n Herzschlag?)
I can't speak (Ah, mei'n Herzschlag)
[Verse 2: Olson]
Hab' dir ein Schloss gebaut aus Luft
Zwischen Wodkarausch und Clubs
Es zu Schrott gehauen nach so vielen Versprechen
Mit diesen zwei Händen
Steh' nicht mal auf eigenen Beinen, doch auf den Gästelisten der Stadt
Habe Tag und Nacht was zu feiern, doch weiß beim besten Willen nicht was
Zerspreng die Panzerketten (Ah)
Bestell die Tanztabletten (Ah)
Streu so viel Zucker in die Wunden, bis das Salz nicht mehr brennt
Hab' einen großen Palast
Dir so nobel vermacht
Und dann in eisiger Nacht
Aus eigener Kraft in den Boden gestampft (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Wache steht's in fremden Betten auf (Check)
Such' den Weg ins fremde Treppenhaus (Check)
Setz' ein eklig fremdes Lächeln auf
Und geh dann mit den ewig selben Sätzen raus
Du rufst an und ich mach' das Handy aus
Und ich weiß wie es dich zerreißt
Und na klar vermiss' ich dein Lächeln auch
Doch am meisten vermiss' ich meins
Damit du weißt
[Hook]
I wanted you to know
That I am ready to go, heartbeat (Spürst du mei'n Herzschlag?)
My heartbeat (Fühlst du mei'n Herzschlag?)
I wanted you to know
Whenever you are around, can't speak (Spürst du mei'n Herzschlag?)
I can't speak (Fühlst du mei'n Herzschlag?)
I wanted you to know
That I am ready to go, heartbeat (Spürst du mei'n Herzschlag?)
My heartbeat (Fühlst du mei'n Herzschlag?)
I wanted you to know
Whenever you are around, can't speak (Spürst du mei'n Herzschlag?)
I can't speak (Mei'n Herzschlag)
[Verse 3: Childish Gambino]
It's late night, Thursday
I know that you heard me
But you don't want the same thing
Well two can play that game
So I'm chilling with my girlfriend
But she not my real girlfriend
She got a key to my place but
She's not my real girlfriend
Stupid, so dummy
Say the wrong thing and wrong girls come runnin'
I'm paranoid that these girls want something from me
And it's hard to make a dime go one hundred
And my dude freakin' out over a worse fate
She on time, but she late for they first date
'Cause he went and tried out all new condoms
Slipped off in a threesome, good problems?
Right? Wrong
Askin' him if she gonna play games
With the super smash brothers, but none of them you
I miss the sex when you kiss whenever you through
Sixty-nine is the only dinner for two
I was wrong, but would you have listened to you?
Uh, you were crazy
I got a heart, but the artichoke
Is the only thing girls want when you in that stroke
And like
[Hook]
I wanted you to know
That I am ready to go, heartbeat
My heartbeat
I wanted you to know
Whenever you are around, can't speak
I can't speak
I wanted you to know
That I am ready to go, heartbeat (Spürst du mei'n Herzschlag?)
My heartbeat (Fühlst du mei'n Herzschlag?)
I wanted you to know
Whenever you are around, can't speak (Spürst du mei'n Herzschlag?)
I can't speak (Mei'n Herzschlag)
