This song is about Daniel Caesar being insecure and unsure about the relationship he has with a significant other, but not because of her; because of himself. He thinks lowly of himself, stating that she might be too good for him. The one thing that gives him certainty, though, is the profound love...
[Verse 1]
I'll probably be a waste of your time, but who knows?
Chances are I'll step out of line, but who knows?
Lately, you've set up in my mind
Yeah, girl, you, and I like that
[Chorus]
Lately, I've been thinking that perhaps I am a coward
Hiding in a disguise of an ever-giving flower
Incompetent steward of all of that sweet, sweet power
[Verse 2]
Yesterday was feeling so good, now it's gone
I'd feel like that always if I could, is that wrong?
Tell me 'bout the city you're from
Is it hot? Does it snow there?
[Chorus]
Lately, I've been thinking 'bout my precarious future
Will you be there with me by my side, my girl, my shooter?
Who's to say who calculates? Not me, I'm no computer
[Bridge]
Is it a crime to be unsure? (Let me know, let me know, let me know, let me)
In time we'll find (Let me know, let me know, let me know, let me)
If it's sustainable (Let me know, let me know, let me know, let me)
You're pure, you're kind (Let me know, let me know, let me know, let me)
Mature, divine (Let me know, let me know, let me know, let me)
You might be too good for me, unattainable (Let me know, let me know, let me know, let me)
[Outro]
Maybe we get married one day, but who knows?
Think I'll take that thought to the grave, but who knows?
I know that I'll love you always
Yeah, girl you, and I'd like that
