LP’s “How Low Can You Go” expresses themes of connection and vulnerability between two people in a poetic fashion, very similar to other songs included on the album Churches.

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
The last time I saw you
We did coke in a closet
At the Chateau Marmont
We were happy and on it
There were too many people
There was fun, there was evil
And we both took the ride
[Pre-Chorus]
It was colder than fuck
For a night in LA
And I couldn't stop thinkin'
If I was okay
You were makin' me laugh
She was makin' me sway
And I thought I could fly
[Chorus]
How low can you go?
'Cause I wanna know
How low can you go?
How low can you go?
'Cause I wanna know
How low can you go?
(Oh)
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
I heard that you stopped
Have some kids and a guy
I was happy and sad
But I didn't know why
I still think of you now
While I'm touchin' the sky
It's been a long, long time
[Bridge]
And so much happens in between
The tears catch fire like gasoline
Just tell me, what's the worst you've seen?
I wanna know
[Chorus]
How low can you go?
'Cause I wanna know
How low can you go?
How low can you go?
'Cause I wanna know
How low can you go?
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
How low can you, can you go?
How low can you, can you go?
How low can you, can you go?
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh

It’s just like a poem, where you take poetic licenses, [and] in this case [they are about] a series of dialogues […] I’ve had with people or women. You’re in a relationship with someone, but you meet somebody else and you get this type of connection with them. You ask yourself what they might be doi...
