In an interview with the Zach Sang Show, Asher said that the song is about someone not being with him physically, but still always on his mind. In the same interview, he admitted that the song was written for Annie LeBlanc, his girlfriend.
[Intro]
Ooh, right now sound (Yeah)
Hitmaka!
[Verse 1: Asher Angel]
It was like in the other night I was dreaming
And though you wasn't by my side, I could feel ya
Heard your voice in my head, too familiar
Even with the music blasting, I still hear ya
[Pre-Chorus 1: Asher Angel]
No therapy can fix what's going on
It's gotta be your love that I'm rollin' on
Ain't no other explanation
[Chorus: Asher Angel]
I'm one thought away, eh
Please don't waste no time, I wanna stay
And you know it's true, we're connected
I'm one thought away, hey
I can read your mind now, stay
And you know it's true, we're connected
I'm one thought away
[Verse 2: Asher Angel]
I've been up crazy
Look what you made me
Checking your Instagram lately
Thinking about you on the daily, eh
[Pre-Chorus 2: Asher Angel]
No therapy can fix what's going on
It's gotta be your love that I'm runnin' on
Ain't no other way to say it
[Chorus: Asher Angel]
I'm one thought away, eh
Please don't waste no time, I wanna stay
And I know it's true, we're connected
I'm one thought away, hey
I can read your mind now, stay
And you know it's true, we're connected
I'm one thought away
[Verse 3: Wiz Khalifa]
Uh, with just have thought of me
You'd be like, "That's the only place that I oughta be"
Get rid of all the diamond rings and the property
You say that I'm the only one that do you properly
I get you to the crib and you get on top of me
You do it, damn, but you never get enough of me
We take a trip, hit the beach for a couple weeks
Lady in the streets but a freak in the sheets
I ain't tryna play no games
Got a bottle with my name
Spend the night up where you stay
Keep it G, swear to God I ain't no fake
Listen hard to what I say, 'cause
[Chorus: Asher Angel, Wiz Khalifa]
I'm one thought away (Hahaha), eh
Please don't waste no time, I wanna stay (Okay)
And I know it's true, we're connected (Yeah)
I'm one thought away, hey
(When you think of me, you think of the best)
I can read your mind now, stay
(Taylor Gang up higher than the rest)
And you know it's true, we're connected (Uh)
I'm one thought away, eh
Please don't waste no time, I wanna stay
And I know it's true, we're connected
I'm one thought away, hey
I can read your mind now, stay
And you know it's true, we're connected
I'm one thought away
