The song is a reference to the ambiguity seen in the song “Too Deep” by DVSN. It is neither explicitly about physical attraction, nor is it only an explanation of the emotion involved in the relationship, but rather both.
[Intro]
Tell me (I need to know)
Where are we? Where are we?
(So deep) So deep
(Are you scared?) Let me know baby
[Hook]
Say my name, Say my name
And I won’t leave you all alone
I just need to know
Say my name, Say my name
Tell me I’m the only one
I just need to know
Say my name, say my name
Let me go deeper now
Baby we’ve crossed the line
Say my name (Say it, say it)
Say my name (Say it, say it)
Say my name
Cause I’m in too deep and I don’t think I can pull out
[Verse 1]
Confessions of my need for validation
Pardon my lack of patience my treatment is so invasive
Cause if what the say is true
Then it’s useless to scratch the surface
Tryna bust you wide open hopin’ I’ll do you a service
Greater than endowing your cervix
With seven minutes of heaven
Panicked runs to 7/11
Post getting caught up in the moment
And copious amounts of liquor
To numb the coping
Which seems to leave us more broken and hopeless
It was always about them
Soul deep interactions and all I could see is him
Your eyes betray your sadness I know you can see her
Naturally you doubt the sincerity of these words
Complex consortium built on our coalescence
Impressive just how a presence
Can influence your perception
This is more than a transaction of passion
For some stability, to put it simply
It’s forever and I need than guarantee
[Hook]
Say my name, Say my name
And I won’t leave you all alone
I just need to know
Say my name, Say my name
Tell me I’m the only one
I just need to know
Say my name, say my name
Let me go deeper now
Baby we’ve crossed the line
Say my name (Say it, say it)
Say my name (Say it, say it)
Say my name
Cause I’m in too deep and I don’t think I can pull out
[Bridge]
Just say it, just say it, say
[Verse 2]
Let’s just take time
Leave your ego at the door your inhibitions on the floor
The way you slow wine
You must’ve heard it through the grapevine
From all those who came before
That’s what I like
I used to only fall through on them late nights
Too high to even recognize your complexion
But now I know what it feels like
To love
[Hook]
Say my name, Say my name
And I won’t leave you all alone
I just need to know
Say my name, Say my name
Tell me I’m the only one
I just need to know
Say my name, say my name
Let me go deeper now
Baby we’ve crossed the line
Say my name (Say it, say it)
Say my name (Say it, say it)
Say my name
Cause I’m in too deep and I don’t think I can pull out
[Outro]
Cause I'm in too deep and I don't think I can pull out
