[Intro: Odeal]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Oh, oh)
[Verse 1: Odeal]
Slight intellect
You shy with the vibe, but I'm sly into it
You bless the worst days, purpose, what you bring
(Oh no, oh no, oh)
Stroke you like violin
Sweet when you sing harmonics when I'm in
I took my time with you, I weren't afraid to learn
[Chorus: Odeal]
Hold me, take me
Never release me
Baby hold me, squeeze me
Never release me, oh
(Ooh) Constant runnin' towards that liquor (Ooh)
You wanna heal, you gotta feel quicker
[Verse 2: Odeal]
Hotel lobby, recognised you from your Instagram I'll admit
That's where you caught me, see (Oh-oh)
At a private party
You and your girls in the apartment
[Refrain: Odeal & Leon Thomas]
We stayed friends in Miami
Till we made love in Argentina (Oh-oh, yeah, yeah)
We stayed friends in Miami (Miami)
Till we made love in Argentna (But we made love in Argentina)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh, oh)
[Chorus: Odeal]
Hold me, take me
Never release me
Baby hold me, squeeze me
Never release me, oh
(Ooh) Constant runnin' towards that liquor (Ooh)
You wanna heal, you gotta feel quicker
[Verse 3: Leon Thomas]
(Ooh) This don't gotta be the real thing
As long as it feels like it (Ooh)
Thinking 'bout when you when I landed in L.A
It's something that you ignited
And I don't wanna go home, I don't want this night to end
'Cause I'm kinda scared I might never see your eyes again
So if I gotta give bottle service, all of my bread
Tryna buy more time, time that we could spend (Ooh)
Booked a flight while I'm faded, you said yes (You said yes)
Baby, you said yes, you said yes
[Refrain: Odeal & Leon Thomas]
(Ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah)
We stayed friends in Miami (Miami)
Till we made love in Argentina (But we made love in Argentina)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh, oh)
We stayed friends in Miami
But we made love in Argentina
[Chorus: Odeal & Leon Thomas]
Hold me, take me
Never release me
Baby hold me, squeeze me
Never release me, oh (Never release me, oh)
(Ooh) Constant runnin' towards that liquor (Liquor, that liquor)
You wanna heal, you gotta feel quicker (Quicker, yeah)

‘Miami’ captures the beginning and the end of a certain moment in summer. It’s about someone I met out there [on my travels]. The first half of the song describes the moment we met: that infatuation and that spark. But the other half reflects what they gave to me: their presence and their honesty. I...
