The song explores the intense, immediate connection between two individuals who acknowledge their potentially incompatible pasts and societal expectations, choosing to focus on the present moment and ignore potential future complications to pursue a relationship.
Time is standing still and I don’t wanna leave your lips
Tracing my body with your fingertips
I know what you’re feeling and I know you wanna say it
I do too but we gotta be patient
Cause someone like me and someone like you
Really shouldn’t work Yeah the history is proof
Damned if I don’t, damned if I do
You know by now we’ve seen it all
Said, Oh, we should fall in love with our eyes closed
Better if we keep it where we don’t know
The beds we’ve been in, the names and the faces of who we were with
And oh, ain’t nobody perfect but it’s all good
The past can’t hurt us if we don’t look, let’s let it go
Better if we fall in love with our eyes closed
I got tunnel vision every second that you’re with me
No, I don’t care what anybody says just kiss me
Cuz you look like trouble but it could be good
I’ve been the same kind of misunderstood
Whatever you’ve done trust it ain’t nothing new
You know by now we’ve seen it all
Said, Oh, we should fall in love with our eyes closed
Better if we keep it where we don’t know
The beds we’ve been in, the names and the faces of who we were with
And oh, ain’t nobody perfect but it’s all good
The past can’t hurt us if we don’t look, let’s let it go
Better if we fall in love with our eyes closed
Cause someone like me and someone like you
Really shouldn’t work Yeah the history is proof
Damned if I don’t, damned if I do
You know by now we’ve seen it all
Said, Oh, we should fall in love with our eyes closed
Better if we keep it where we don’t know
The beds we’ve been in, the names and the faces of who we were with
And oh, ain’t nobody perfect but it’s all good
The past can’t hurt us if we don’t look, let’s let it go
