I feel the salty waves come in
I feel them crash against my skin
And I smile as I respire because
I know they'll never win
There's a haze above my TV
That changes everything I see
And maybe if I continue watching
I'll lose the traits that worry me

Can we fast-forward 'til you go down on me?
Stop there and let me correct it
I wanna live a life from a new perspective
You come along because I love your face
And I'll admire your expensive taste
And who cares divine intervention
I wanna be praised from a new perspective
But leaving now would be a good idea
So catch me up on getting out of here

Taking everything for granted but we still respect the time
We move along with some new passion knowing everything is fine
And I would wait and watch the hours fall in a hundred separate lines
But I regain repose and wonder how I ended up inside

Can we fast-forward 'til you go down on me?
Stop there and let me correct it
I wanna live a life from a new perspective
You come along because I love your face
and I'll admire your expensive taste
And who cares divine intervention
I wanna be praised from a new perspective
But leaving now would be a good idea
So catch me up on getting out of here

More to the point, I need to show
How much I can come and go
Other plans fell through
And put a heavy load on you
I know there's no more that need be said
When I'm inching through your bed
Take a look around instead and watch me go

Stop there and let me correct it
I wanna live a life from a new perspective
You come along because I love your face
and I'll admire your expensive taste
And who cares divine intervention
I wanna be praised from a new perspective
But leaving now would be a good idea
So catch me up on getting out of here

It's not fair, just let me perfect it
Don't wanna live a life that was comprehensive
'Cause seeing clear would be a bad idea
Now catch me up on getting out of here
So catch me up I'm getting out of here

    Song Meaning:this song is about an escape and grudge.

    it's NOT about having a blowjob. This is also about a person who wants to achieve something and he/she wants them to praise him/her.

    General Comment:Soo... he wants a blowjob. That's about it.

    "salty waves" - obv.
    "go down on me" - obv.
    "be praised from a new perspective" - a BJ is definitely a new perspective from sex
    "heavy load" - obv.
    "come and go" - obv.
    "inching through your bed... watch me go" - obv.
    "hundred separate lines" - go look up eight roper on urban dictionary, then imagine 100 instead
    "I'll admire your expensive taste" - he's worth a lot, so obviously his cock is an expensive taste

    Problem is, he doesn't seem to know how to get it

    "But I regain repose and wonder how I ended up inside" - he ends up having sex rather than getting that BJ

    "It's not fair, just let me perfect it
    Don't wanna live a life that was comprehensive
    'Cause seeing clear would be a bad idea
    Now catch me up on getting out of here
    So catch me up I'm getting out of here"

    It's not fair that he's not getting BJs (they're part of a clear and comprehensive life), but he's somehow convinced himself that it's OK.

    General Comment:lmao! this is about someone giving him head, it's all in the lyrics, salty waves, someone going down on him, heavy loads, its like a new perspective because it's different to sex, its a new way to get that buzz, it is very obvious when you really listen to the lyrics.

    Song Meaning:This song is about giving into temptation.
    Alot of people have said that it's about him Not giving in, but in the end he does.

    Let me break the chorus down:
    Can we fast forward to go down on me?
    - He is talking to a girl he had just met, and to himself he is begging to have sex with her already.

    Stop there and let me correct it, I want to live a life from a new perspective.
    - He realized that what he is thinking is wrong. He just met this girl, and he should respect her.

    You come along because I love your face, and I'll admire your expensive taste.
    - He's giving himself reasons to like this girl for her personality.

    And who cares divine intervention
    - Basically, "And who cares about divine intervention?" Which means having love/admiration for one deeply and wanting to show it. There are meanings for "Divine Intervention" but this is only one of them. Again, convencing himself to just go for the sex.

    I wanna be praised from a new perspective
    -He badly wants to change his ways. But...

    But leaving now would be a good idea, so cath me up on getting out of here.
    -In the end, he sleeps with her. (But leaving now-- Getting you in bed-- would be a good idea. So catch me up on leaving now)

    The second part prooves it.

    Taking everything for granted but we still respect the time.
    -I know I'm taking this girl for granted, but I'm going to have fun while I can.

    We move on with some new passion knowing everything is fine.
    -After the one-night stand, they both move on and act like it's no big deal.

    But I regain repose and wonder how I ended up inside.
    -And then he asks himself, "Why did I do it?" (And wonder how I ended up inside-- He wonders why he still had sex with her instead of getting to know her for her. Hence 'I ended up inside')
